I so very much want to see this ad campaign on the CTA trains!
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What is even happening?
Cindy, I'm afraid mr. flea now thinks you are a huge dork, too. The again, he says he was traumatized by always receiving socks and underwear in his stocking as a child.
Hey, at least nobody's calling me, "mr. flea." I was just afraid you'd get in trouble with the s-i-l.
My kids get a mix of stuff in their stockings. We put in fun stuff (little games, toys, stuffed), and candy, but also toothbrushes, mini notepads, and stuff.
Foohy erasers [link] were the big begged-for school supply last year (the scented kind--which trigger my migraines, and so have to be kept out of my nose's reach). Kids of that age love school/office supplies, tape, glue, glue sticks. They're not the same as underwear, because ouch.
Kids also love to get Band-aids in their stockings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
TAR: And I'm really glad the blonds legitimately lost, not even because of the penalty.

Stockings were all about goofy and practical. And candy.
Looks like I'm doing Xmas with the parents in NM. Can't really stretch out the trip to Alabama. Hrm. Maybe a Feb trip there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cool bandaids rock! I have duct tape and Batman and Hello Kitty and Peanuts.
The Container Store sent me a teasing brochure. I didn't know they also sold office supplies. Look at the kiddie scissors!
The possibilities are endless.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can see the band-aid thing, if they were the kind with pictures.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Man, TAR -- who the hell am I supposed to root for now? I just don't like any of the remaining teams.

The models are really the only option, I think.
