Allyson: I have no idea what happened in Ergo class. There's a worksheet and a tape measure involved, and maybe a tuning fork and a banana.
scrappy: Sounds like a bad date.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

To every idea a shelf...
Enabling in Literary...
meara: I'm trying to decide if I need new bookcases for my new apartment, and if so, how many.
I really need to replace one which is falling apart, but I strongly suspect I could fill another, also...hmmm.
Katerina Bee: Answer: Yes, yes you do need new bookcases. How many = as many as will fit into your home. Don't forget to measure odd spaces in corners and between doors, in case a narrow shelf can be forced into this space. Warning: This project may test your math skills (Honest, honey, I was SURE it would fit right here...)
Signed, out of shelf space & into piling books on the floor again, living vicariously through the new shelves of others.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Requesting a spelling correction to "eventually", please, in post #4175. Thanks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Done!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Natter:
meara: It suddenly occurs to me that with a dentist appointment at noon
ita: My appointment, the first in forever, is in 20 minutes.
I am in such trouble.
Megan E.: wow, I have a dentist appointment today too.
ita: August 12th was henceforth known as "Take your Buffista to the dentist day".
billytea: Bugger. I have an optometrist's appointment. I never get this sort of thing right.

Okay, just one more from Natter:
Rio: My boyfriend bought those Iraq's Most Wanted cards for my dad, and my dad was like, "Wow, we're related to the 10 of clubs!"

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
BHP, in Natter:
"That dress looks really comfortable" pretty much sucks as a compliment.
Because I like the dress, and it is comfortable, but I hear that as "Wow, good flour sack there."

Ellen S. wrote about Philly in Natter: We'll go to that freaky museum with all the abnormal skeletons and things in jars.
The Mutter Museum of Medical Anomalies! I loved that place. I first heard of it from a woman sitting next to me on a flight back from Rome, who was a Free-Lance Contortionist. (Really! She gave me her card.) I asked her what a Free-Lance contortionist did and she said 'mainly bar mitzvas'.
