That sounds like it, Nora, but I'm sure it was pronounced "putcheen"-which is what the article says is the Anglicanized pronunciation.
I like the ruffles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't say I know my neighbors, but I do have nodding relationships with several, and of those people, I know two of their names. And there was the kid who wants to crawl through my fire escape into his mother's place next door. I guess that's something.
Dru Hill is actually a neighborhood. Around Druid Hill Park.
Because people are too lazy to say the additional syllable! No wonder they can't spell.

In work news, I just had a meeting with the Big Boss that was almost perfect! I swear, maybe some day I will actually cross all my t's, but sadly today was not that day. It was just one little thing, but seriously.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Also, I know that some of you took a look and had comments on a website search function for my job-- here is the almost final product. We were able to use a lot of comments to simplify, so thanks so much!

Ann, that's a ferret.
We know some of the neighbors. Our former next-door neighbor (they later bought a bigger house elsewhere in the development) is the association president, and he started introducing himself to everyone from day one.

people spelling Drew's name "Dru"
All I want to know is should we start calling Kristin "Spike"?
Well, she is little and blonde...
If he runs off with a chaos demon, I'm blaming all of you.
In terms of the talking thing, yeah, I'm another of those "please don't talk to me" people. I love being social with friends, but I just don't want a casual conversation on the plane or in a grocery store.
If there is a crazy person within about square mile of me, they tend to find me and strike up a conversation. People have witnessed this many times. It's like a superpower, only, well, one that sucks.It's true. The only problem is that said crazy people also latch on to anyone else in his company.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I've actually been trying to meet some neighbors in the new 'hood. One of the guys (my first gay couple in the new neighborhood) told me that there were 5 or 6 people on the block in their 80's, so it's nice to have some history in the neighborhood.

Swouncing
Vortex! I didn't get to congratulate you on the new place yet, so this is an opportunity to tell you that I'm happy for you.
I wish there were an English translation to the Hebrew word that's a greeting for when somebody gets something new, because that's exactly what I wanna tell you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I hate it when I get stuck next to someone chatty on a plane
One of the comedians on this years Last Comic Standing said the best way she's found to stop these chatty plane people is to get out a coloring book and crayons and start coloring the instant you sit down. Also, if you get a coloring book with the alphabet, spell each word and sound them out like a 4 year old.

See if was just random people, the kilt would probably help keep them away, but it probably just attracts the crazies.
