I spent those years “slumming it” working, living, and socializing with members of the lower middle, working, lower, and even destitute (homeless) classes.

Socializing with the lower-middle class! Heaven forfend!

Does this mean that if I choose to be fit and attractive, someone will automatically give me enough money to be promoted to upper class?

Was this recent Jackie Mackie Paisley Passey linked to? She's

No, but I read all about it yesterday. She is a classic! Also doesn't know what Bildungsroman is, but that's low on the list of things she needs to change about herself.

Psst, Laura -- did you know that Sark actor David Ander's real last name is "Holt"?

Could we possibly drop Pluto on her?

Or something bigger, like a planet!

Was this recent Jackie Mackie Paisley Passey linked to? She's explaining why she isn't superficial with gems such as the following:

Too bad that she's not trying to be comical, because she's acheiving it quite well.

Or something bigger, like a planet!

Ha!

she should be nominated in any webbie category for comic site.

Happy Birthday bon bon!!!

Of course, I am thinking-- Alaska! I actually love the cold, but Rochester, as Tom can attest, is just particularly nasty and gross.

Are you really thinking Alaska, Sophia?

If so, wheeeeeeeeeeeee, and I can personally attest that Juneau has much better weather than Rochester, at least if you don't hate rain. We also have a gorgeous but small college here (the University of Alaska Southeast). I would be happy to tell you more, and thrilled to have another localista!

If not, then it's not nice to get me all excited like that.

My niece lives near Rochester and doesn't have a car, and she finds it very difficult. She relies a lot on the kindness of Friends With Cars. Of course, her routes are probably different than yours.

Patrick and Teresa Nielsen-Hayden link to her with the comment: "Anyanka has a blog".

Which is really unfair to Anyanka.
