Going to have to switch to eggbeaters, what with Nic and the whole cholesterol issue.

There's a brand of egg -- Eggland's Best -- that is supposed to be good (or, at least, doesn't raise cholesterol) for patients with diabetes and/or cholesterol/heart issues.

Oooooh! They have that at most of my local markets.

Thank you, ma'am.

So, I wrote a story.

Apologies to Neil Gaiman, of whom I am shamelessly derivative.

Detail question someone here is bound to know how to answer:

In Little Women, the Little House series, and other books of that era, characters admire and wish they had "Grecian noses." What exactly did they mean? I've always assumed it was a straight, medium sort of nose, neither too large and/or Roman nor a cute little snub, but it occurred to me that I might be pushing my own standards onto the past.

(Well, actually I like a nice, big, strong nose, especially on a man, but I know I'm unusual in that.)

Every site I'm finding says it's "An uncurved nose forming a straight line with the forehead."

Something like this, I wager.

Thanks!

Here's one, Susan. [link]

For the holiday hell drabbles:

“Excuse me, miss?”

I turn around to see an averagely-sheepish guy in his late twenties.

“Do you need help finding something, sir?”

“I’m trying to decide if this would fit my girlfriend, and you’re about her size. Could you try this on and show me?”

I stare at the wisp of red nylon he’s holding in front of him. He at least has the smarts to look flustered.

“I think you should leave now, sir. Perhaps you should consider shopping somewhere else for the rest of your life.”

I flee to the safety of the stockroom, and refuse to come out until right before closing.

Hee! Jilli, Goth Saleslady= brilliant sitcom
