billytea! I love your tagline:
Hee. Well, thank you. (It's not entirely true, gravity is my brother's nemesis, but still.)
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.
'Safe'
Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The most dangerous weapon of soldiers on the way home for the weekend is a huge backpack full of dirty laundry, anyway. Even when they carry their guns.
Oh dear. And I thought that backpacks big enough to swallow you whole was an idle threat.

The status is NOT quo.
We were at the top of the Empire State Building and it was crowded. I offered to push our way to the front (for Nilly is wee and Nilly is sweet and I am a New Yorker and neither) and she said "Oh please, I'm Israeli" and yanked me through to the front
HA! This is so in keeping with my experience at the school.
Also, how cool is it that right now we're having a conversation from two coasts of the US, Israel, and Australia? Yay internets!
ETA: Also, yay bed. I just realized what time it was. I've been working for the last seven hours, and I think I'm done.

Never ever try to stand between a tired hungry dirty miserable home-sick Israeli soldier after 3 weeks of not-being-at-home, and between his mommy. Or at least her food. Never.

I was just thinking that, too!

It's intercontinentastic!

Whee! I feel the intercontinental love.
I went to a cupcake party! And met people! And saw a big troll! On Troll Street! (It goes under a big bridge. And there is a big enormous troll statue under it. Crushing a VW Bug with its hand. And the street is named after it! How cool is that?)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I have seen no trolls today. But I did help my brother move, and did some writing, and made three or four dozen fresh-ginger cookies with crystallized ginger. Yum!

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
The headcold that has eaten me alive just moved into my chest.
I sent neighbors to the store on Saturday morning for NyQuil, honey, chicken soup, and tissues.
One box of tissues already gone. Several packets of EmergenC are gone. Can't breathe. Chest sounds like death rattle. Fever. Cough. STUFFY NOSE.
MAKE IT STOP.
I have so much to do this week it's not funny.
Can't call in, can't go in. Will spread plague.
Cabin fever.
I think I'm going to be another statistic on The Oregon Trail.

Seriously, paperdol, use saline nasal spray, it will help the stressed mucous membrane cleanse itself. And drink all the water you can manage.
Also, my favorite: frequent hot showers.
I went to extra trouble, making sure I got into class ontime, but the teacher has had problems getting here, so I'm g/o/o/f/i/n/g/ o/f/f/ amusing myself until he shows up.
