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

Hi Nilly!

Huh - it seems I read something about you in a book somewhere....

Oh, sorry, tommy and Lee - I had to run from the computer, and only saw your posts now, and I hope you're sleeping deeply and having many pleasant dreams as I type this.

Anyway, if you mention a book, I was at my parents over the weekend, and made my brother take my picture with some book, for some reason.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Any ideas for the best way to pit cherries without a cherry pitter?

I use the tip of a potato peeler. It's not very tidy but works in a pinch, regardless of apostasy.

In my enthusiasm yesterday, I signed up for a nature hike. Today, the temp is supposed to hit 90. I fear actually MELTING into a puddle. Pray for me....

Here's a Saturday question: has anyone here had plastic surgery (i.e. for cosmetic reasons, not for reconstruction after a car accident or something)? I was looking at US magazine at the supermarket yesterday and it seems so ubiquitous in Hollywood, and they say in the culture at large, but I realized I don't know anyone (that I know of) who has had a nose job or a breast augmentation or anything.

If you have had plastic surgery, why and are you happy with it? If you haven't, would you consider it?

I wouldn't. I am pretty crunchy-granola, and also not into medical things unless they are needed.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm counting on a breast lift at some point. It is primarily medical since I have a messed up shoulder but the cosmetic aspects are appealing too.

I doubt I would do anything to my face... but a lot of that is genetic luck -- my family ages gently, my nose is proportional, etc. If my jaw line disappeard completely or I got jowls (both seem unlikely) I'd consider it as I understand they are among the less-invasive procedures.

I haven't, but my mother had a nose job (which I maintain was evil, even though she got it a decade before I was born) and an eyelift (which looked ok). She's generally pretty granola, and the little vanities there amuse me.

Because books.

At least three girls got nose jobs when I was in junior high/high school. And a friend of mine got a boob job a few years back.

The only surgery I would really consider is getting rid of my gall bladder scar, which is the old-school diagonal kind, and almost twelve inches long. It also got stretched out when I pregnant the first time, so it's really sort of hideous. I don't ever wear a bikini or even a cropped shirt, but I'd still like it to go away sometimes.
