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.
I want to give my mom Allyson's book for the holidays, but I'm iffy about her finding here.
Mine would definitely be curious enough to find the place and take a look around AND NOT MENTION IT UNTIL AN INOPPORTUNE TIME MONTHS LATER, but she wouldn't see the point of hanging around and spending a lot of time in any online joint.
I'm planning on giving my dad a copy of Allyson's book for Christmas. Unsurprisingly, I'm fine with the notion of him posting here.
My mother read my chapter when she was here. I gave her a dirty look and their own copy of the book when I was last back.
She promptly hid it because Allyson only mentioned her when she signed it. I have no idea of the book's status because I was laughing too hard.
I can't imagine my parent's coming here, even if the read the book. They would still be confused by the whole thing.
Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday on perjury and obstruction of justice charges
Schadenfreude. And the kicker is, he should be grateful: they haven't got him on tax evasion charges (yet).
I wonder if he and Martha Stewart will create a support group?
My parent bought a copy and enjoyed it. Mom loved "The Internet Wants Your Daughters." Which reminds me, I need to remember to pack my copy.
Waiting for washers.
I just totally skipped 300 messages because my LJ homepage (which I still hate, yet do find useful because it lists things like birthdays) informed me about someone's birthday.
Happy Birthday, sumi!!!
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday sumi!
I can't see my parents here, since I've had to explain the idea of ISPs at least a few times over the last few years.(In other words, they don't totally get that AOL is not the Internet)
Hmm. There are now print header sheets printed before every job on the colour printer. I just spent many minutes watching 4 copies of a long and colourful PDF print out--a job that had been sitting half done until I showed up and refilled the paper tray so I could get my one sheet that really does need to be printed in colour to present all the information.
So they know who the bad guy is--but he's the highest ranked guy on the floor so I don't think his knuckles will be rapped unless he motes it be.
It's still weird, you know. I wrote a book. Weird.
I read the chapter about Nilly visiting America to Wallybee. She got a real kick out of it. She knew I got a lot of support here before, but I think that chapter made it real to her. (Plus, she thought it was hysterical comparing my post to the others.)
