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.

Actually, it's been 3 years. But the first year was when I had to turn the compressor off at the breakbox. Jesus. I wonder how many hours I've spent in that office, bitching at people.

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

NO. NO FIXING. REPLACING.

That too, or instead, or something.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I used the Mafia as a metaphor for U.S. foreign policy. I may have mentioned Tony Soprano. This resulted in a complaint that I was contributing to anti-Italian stereotypes. I had not thought of this. To tell the truth I had worried more about using a hackneyed and stale comparison. Would most Italian-Americans consider this an insulting comparison?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Would most Italian-Americans consider this an insulting comparison?

Camille Paglia would, but then she's crazy....

Always Anti-fascist!

Depends. So reminded of Dr. Melfi getting mad at her husband for "defending the honor of Connie Francis"(Or was it protecting her virtue? Same diff, right?)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Those are cute, for wedges. And for not having steel toes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want to replace some shoes, and of course it's impossible, because the ones I want to get rid of are years old, and no longer The Style. Annoying!

Steph I am glad.

ita, I was looking for flats, but having no luck for what else I wanted (not clunky, ankle strap, covered toe) - no need for steel toes for me.
