Okay, I did that cursor thing and now I totally feel guilty because of the way the old guy in the back stops to catch his breath when you hold still for a moment.

I put my napkin in my lap, but this is because I am messy and often spill things. (eta: I don't know how Jesus feels about this. It has never come up in our conversations.)

sarameg, do you have newpapers in your recycle bin? They're an excellent substitute for the paper towel in window cleaning. Spray your cleaner. Take a manageble sized piece of newspaper, clean off all the grime. Take a new piece, and dry the window from top to bottom.

"You know, I think I'm going to start doing that -- putting a napkin in my lap like that. It looks so ladylike!"

That's oddly adorable. So... was it the way you had your napkin in your lap, or the fact that you had a napkin in your lap that she was talking about? I am now curious about whether I've been doing it right all these years.

It was just the fact the napkin was in my lap. It was like she knew it was something that fancy people did, but it had never really occured to her that it was something she could do. Until the Jesus. Apparently.

Is it too early to go to bed?

Jesus and Jesse bringing manners to the masses. Awesome.

eta: Ooh, and kind of pleasantly alliterative, too.

Is it too early to go to bed?

I've been wondering that myself. For you, maybe. Then again, maybe not!

Is it too early to go to bed?

That would depend on when I thought I'd wake up...

For you, maybe. Then again, maybe not!

But by the time I eat dinner and finish a beta and shoot up the cat, maybe it won't be.

I can live with that.

That is a fly in the ointment, isn't it?

Newspapers, at least the Sun, made a gawdawful mess last time I used them. Required going back over with paper towels. Plus stained hands. Now unprinted newspaper might be fine, but I no longer have free access to that.
