And the perfect act of atonement for having directed PORKIES.
Man had an eclectic career: The original BLACK CHRISTMAS, a horror film about Ed Gein called DERANGED, a really good Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper movie MURDER BY DECREE (with Christopher Plummer and James Mason as Holmes and Watson), the PORKIES movies and A CHRISTMAS STORY (and that's not even a complete list).

Hey, what's it like for people with significant others who are also buffistas?
It can be very odd. And it's worse when you are in the process of breaking up; as many of you have intuited, Lori and I are in the middle of separating. In addition to all of the other insanity in our lives right now, we are also contending with that. Which makes posting here odd for both of us.
ETA: Steph, may you feel better right quick.

What is even happening?
Well, we love you both, want you both to be happy, and will stay out of it.

Tom doesn't read the board or participate really anymore, so he isn't really aware of what happens on a day-to-day basis, or what I'm saying. But he knows the players, and of course gets why I'm still here. So I keep him up to speed on big stuff or interesting things or funny conversations. It works out pretty well.

Teppy, seconding Matt on the chloraseptic - my sinus infections frequently give me a raging sore throat and that's one of the few things that relieves the pain. Hot tea with lemon and honey (I use it as a reward after gargling with salt water) also helps.
Whatever it is, hope it goes away soon.

I hate the way chloraseptic makes my throat feel. The hot salt water tastes nasty, but afterwards, my throat just feels numb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Chloraseptic spray reminds me of the summer I went to music camp, and all of us singers got addicted to it. We were all lined up in the nurse's office constantly.
