We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Beverly! Much healing and peace to your family my dear. I'm sorry for the circumstance but glad for the improvement. All the ~ma in the world.

And? You are a GODDESS among women. After, I think, 5 years of searching, you have found the elusive deck I've wanted so badly. I can't believe it! What will I do with myself now that this quest is at end?

Okay, I'll keep looking for "Sinbad and Me" by Kin Platt in something less than a $300 first edition. That's the new (ongoing) quest.

But thank you so much. What a wonderful resource! I've ordered the deck from Amazon.

teehee.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I got to Ginger's link without registering. Amusing tidbit:

But Nitu Shukla —- or rather, her mother —- came with a few [expectations]. It was the family's second trip to the convention from Jacksonville, and Shukla's mother was hoping for better luck this time for her 31-year-old banker daughter. Outside the ballroom —- parents are barred from going in —- the mother, Asha Shukla, made her own list from participant profiles and had it delivered by a messenger to her daughter.

"Why can't she find someone?" the mother asked. "I'll tell you why. She's too picky."

Then she rattled off her own list of must-haves in a son-in-law: He has to be educated. Has to be a Gujarati. A vegetarian, if possible.

Nitu Shukla's expectations were a little more modest: an "Americanized guy who's Indian at heart."

Some types of parents are universal....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The Matrimonial Con sounds good already! P-C, start talking this up to your mom and planning your costume.

I love that book! It turned me on to architecture!

Many Happies, Katie Bee!!

That con does sound like it could be just what P-C needs. At least, if he goes to it, his family will think he's serious about settling down. Besides, it sounds like a lot of the Indian women are very Americanized, too. P-C could have his cake and so could his mother.

Still sending ~ma to Bev, Tom and JZ. Has anyone heard anything more about Tom's kidney stone? I don't keep up in Natter, so I'm not up to date there.

I got to Ginger's link without registering.

I hope that means the AJC has stopped being really annoying with the registration thing. I have their cookie stored, so I didn't see a change.

askye, I hope there's an inexpensive but cool frame out there that your lenses will fit in.

Also,

Happy Birthday, Katie B!

Mostly lurking...

Happy Birthday, Katie Bee!

My dad cracks me up. I just sent him an e-mail asking him for advice about some money stuff (things I want/need for the new apartment). Here I'm trying to save money and be responsible, and he suggests that I may want to eventually move the table I brought for the dining room into the kitchen (instead of buying a $99 little kitchen table from Ikea) and buy a nice dining room table and chairs. Yeah, that'd be nice IF I WAS MADE OF MONEY! Silly dad.

nice dining room table and chairs are the dream... I still don't have the cash for them myself...

We got the IKEA catalog yesterday- so exciting!
