P-C, I think Hec was right in the sense that, psychologically, your mother is still in (and may never leave) India.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

[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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm, that's probably what the "silver" that I have is. Which does not include table settings or a coffee service, so ... I might very well be interested.
As long as I don't think about where to store it. But DH has been wanting a silver coffeepot and /or teapot for EVER. OTOH, I never entertain.

Yeah, I thought that's what he meant. But he seemed to be surprised to discover she was physically in Texas.

That's a mouthful.

~ma to everyone. Sounds like a rough patch for most. Congrats to you, SA!

Congratulations again to SA!!! Good luck choosing a school.
My therapist is sending my test results and a bunch of other information to my PCP. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get all this taken care of this week, and then I can concentrate on figuring out a paper topic for Physiological Psychology that I actually understand enough to write about. Sorry that I have been so whiny lately. The ducks are tiny, but they're getting to me.
AmyLiz, I hope the interview went well and that all your money is back in your account by tomorrow. How does someone withdraw $1000 from an ATM anyway? Isn't there usually a limit on ATM withdrawls?

Random question: does anyone know if it's possible to have the heels on a pair of boots completely changed? Say, if a pair of boots had impossibly tall louis-style heels, could I take them somewhere and have those heels removed and replaced with more sturdy heels of a sensible height?
(I'm betting the answer is no, but I'm just not sure.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jilli, I'm totally talking out of my ass here, but I'm thinking the answer is no. If you change the height of the heel you'll change the angle of the boot in relation to the ground (and the point where the front of the boot contacts the ground), as well as the angle of the ankle. I would think that boots are designed to a specific set of angles. If you did this it'd be as if you were walking while leaning backwards, and the ankle part of the boot might not like that.
