Timelies all!
We're hosting a housefilk, so we need to clean up. Of course, I'm sitting here....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

What is a housefilk?
I'm having a lazy Saturday. Going to go shopping tomorrow. We have a potluck on Wednesday so I need to get supplies.
And my "On Demand" isn't working. I already called it in on Thursday and then it worked briefly so I cancelled the service call and now it's not working again. So, was csi new this week?
FNL: I am feeling worried about Tim. And we're not going to have another new episode 'til January. I mean, is CT just going to let Tim camp in their driveway? Can't he sleep on the sofa?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Lee! Can you get on IM?

My opinion on push presents is that anyone who'd rather have jewelry from her husband rather than, say, him changing diapers and taking care of cleaning and cooking for the first few months should probably just have the nurse hand the baby directly to Social Services. It'll work out better for everyone that way.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, was csi new this week?
It was. I didn't think much of it, but I hope your On Demand gets fixed.
My knee jerk reaction to push presents is: shouldn't that money be going into a college/orthodontia/medical bills fund? Which I try to tamp down because other people's financial arrangements are so none of my business and if having a shiny bauble of some sort makes the not sleeping and everything else that goes with the new baby a bit easier to handle, well, why not?
Good luck getting home and to the party pain-free, or at least pain-diminished, ita.

More FNL: I love seeing Coach Riggins again at the gymnastics meet. It's this whole other side of Tim that we don't get to see much. (Yeah, confident, knowledgable Tim.)

Locks of hair don't work, do they? Don't you need flesh?
Hair is a poor source of DNA, and it would never be anyone's first choice as a source, but it can be done. Last summer a team used improved techniques to isolate DNA from Mammoth hair, and it set off a sort of gold rush of seaching through old drawers in museums looking for hair and feathers of extinct species.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Odds are, anyone getting diamonds for labor is going to have a nanny to hand the baby off to...

Don't they want that bit of skin that sometimes comes off with the hair? (When they do dna tests. You know, on tv shows.)
I've been watching my new MSCL dvds slowly and one of the things that I noticed this time that NEVER struck me before is the resemblance between Graham and Jordan.

It's much easier if you have that. The DNA in the shaft of the hair is fragmented. It's partially destroyed. That's why it's not your first choice as a source. But if you extract enough bits and pieces of the fragmented DNA you can line the fragments up next to each other, find the places where they overlap, and reconstruct the whole sequence. It's laborious and unreliable, but it can be done.
