Oh, Kristin, you'll love this!
In writing an in-class essay today, answering a question on some Hawthorne tales, I called Hawthorne wrongheaded, kind of. But, the word wrongheaded was used. Twice. It was quite fun.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Wrongheaded strikes me as just the right word for Hawthorne.

I actually really like Hawthorne, but some of his ideas are wrongheaded. There's just no two ways about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

vw, sometimes it's really nice to be offline for a while.
I know what each of the words mean, but the sentence, not so much.
I'm sorry your girly bits are making surgery seem like such a fine idea, Robin.

What is even happening?
Ugh, Robin. I know my grandmother had a hysterectomy for fibroids decades ago, and was glad of it. My aunt wanted one, but she was near enough to the change that her doctor asked her to ride it out for a while, and things got better for her, so she didn't do it. I hope you get relief soon, in some way or another.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Egad, Robin.
Also, thirding, fourthing, or whatevering the idea that you have to have a balcony on a cruise. Or at least a picture window.
vw, do you have seasonal mental health problems? If so, absolutely nothing would beat a bad-season cruise.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Robin, I am so sorry that you are in such misery.
I am so ready to go into the Gyno's office on Friday and say "Let's yank this uterus, dude. And do it fast, my car is idling out front."But am I evil for laughing at this?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
No, Cass--I laughed when i was writing it.
