I got a copy of WtVPPLtL today, finally. My normal routes in life do not include B&N areas. But today I made it to one. There were two on the end cap and that was a good thing, because THE ENTIRE humor section aside from that end cap was OFF the shelves in some great book section migration that will have the humor books invading food writing.

I did too.
G. gave me one of the 10 he has bought (so far). He and J. say hi to people they know.

That venn diagram made me laugh outloud. Love it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
re: plastic surgery - I'd like to get my left eye opened up a bit more - the right eye got an inadvertent lift/opening due to scarring from my fall, and so now I'd like to have the left eye match. It's totally me - no one else sees it unless I point it out, but it bothers me.
The couples thing - yeah, I'd never order a spouse's friends out of my home. I'd go in the bedroom and ask them to keep it down if I needed to go to sleep, but that's about it.
I LOVE that Venn diagram. Bless.

That Venn diagram made me giggle, even as I was noticing the wrongness of it. (Because I have spent WAY too long teaching about Venn diagrams.)
Ancestry.com is creeping me out. It's a very useful website -- in about 20 minutes, I was able to locate a relative that I'd been searching for for years. However, when you search for a last name, it gives you all these "interesting" facts about the name in a sidebar. One of them is sometimes life expectancy of people with that name as compared to life expectancy of the general population. And the family names that I've looked up have all had a life expectancy of about ten fewer years than average.

Now tagless for your comfort.
juliana, do you have a good recommendation for running shoes?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thank you all for buying my book. I'm all humbled and stuff.

Cash, I'm not Juliana, but running shoes vary widely. I would highly recommend going to a store that specializes in them and explaining what you need. They'll want to know how often you intend to run, they'll look at the wear pattern on your old shoes, whether you run on pavement or trails, whether you pronate or supinate... based on that they'll give you a recommendation. I don't go to regular sporting goods stores for running shoes anymore, instead I go to specialty running shops. May cost you more to start, but you're far more likely to get a shoe that's appropriate to your feet and what you intend to do with them.

I think I have essentially ordered a game shutdown and everyone go home. They'd started gaming around noon and were still going when I left for work at about 9 PM. This was not out of the ordinary. When I got home at 7 in the morning, went to bed, got up at around noon and they were still playing, I called it. At some point, you're entitled to your living room back.
It's not really analogous, I just like telling that story. Oh, how I suffered!
