I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

And the Chicagoistas don't have a cat herder. Maybe we need a Buffista exchange program.

I really shouldn't be laughing during rehearsal for The Diary of Anne Frank.

And it shuts them up, I'll tell you what.

I think mine would respond, "Yeah, well, I don't get it. It's too hard!" and then stare at me as though to say, "So there, stupid." Somehow they think "I don't get this" is the end of the conversation, rather than the beginning. I'll give it a whirl, though.

Caveat: I have some really hard-working, dedicated kids who come and ask questions and get extra help. And others who really DO get it.

So my supervisor sent me an e-mail about how the big bosses said we could leave after 3pm if we wanted. It's now after 3, and I think the only reason I wasn't out the door 15 minutes ago is because when I leave, I have to go shopping.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Any Buffistas on LibraryThing want to give me their ids so I can enter them in my Watch List? (I'm Theodosia there, too.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't know that the Bayistas have either a Captain Sanity or a Cat Herder in the tugboat. We have multiple ringleaders, though. ("Wait, I get it, that's a metaphor!")

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

LAistas don't have a tugboat.

I think we have an inflatable life-raft. With duct tape on it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't know that the Bayistas have either a Captain Sanity or a Cat Herder in the tugboat. We have multiple ringleaders, though. ("Wait, I get it, that's a metaphor!")

HEY! I've been known to both herd cats and be sane! Maybe not often, or at the same time or anything, but I have!

Or possibly just a couple of arm floaties.
