It occurrs to me that maybe Cass' fondness of "candles" is just that its fire we will let her have.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
well, yes ... but they're also decorative. And some smell nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're thinking of I Love You Forever, where the mom drives over to her adult son's house to snuggle him in the middle of the night. It *is* creepy and yet I still can't read the book aloud to my kids without crying. It doesn't help that I first read it when my mother was dying, and now I can't escape the memory of that first reading.
Oh, OK. That's the one where the mother turns into the wind or something? Possibly I have detachment issues. Although I can't imagine how sad anything would be if connected to my mother's death.

Can I announce a random TOTAL HATE pet peeve?
"Say la vi." or "Ce la vie." Or whatever.
People, if you're going to use French, use it right. Do you want to give the cheese-eating surrender monkeys more excuses to sneer at us? C'est la vie.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It occurrs to me that maybe Cass' fondness of "candles" is just that its fire we will let her have.I also have a fireplace.
But the candles, as Toddson so accurately states, can smell good too. They multitask!
I am not allowed near Partylites though. At IKEA there is only so much debt I can get into with candles. This is not the case with Partylites.
FIRE PRETTY!

I have a sixty-page document that I have to review for double-spacing after periods and use of serial commas.
but, you don't double space after serial commas. Unless you're checking to see that they didn't. Gronk.

Okay, I knew c'est la vie. But, is today the day to confess I can spell neither horse's ovaries nor toot sweet?
Uh, hors d'[vowels]vres. I can't guess the second one, since all the candidates seem way too obvious for those cheese-eating vowel-monkey French academicians.
