Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I am so cranky I forgot to start no-knead bread last night! Hmph.

You know what a good way is to work out your frustration? Kneading bread!

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

Timelies all!

Just hanging out in my nightclothes, waiting for the shower.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Scary.

I've never made regular bread, just the no-knead.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You should try it, it's actually pretty fun.

Yeah, maybe I will. I keep seeing recipes that start with scalding milk, and that weirds me out, so.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

... But given a good speaker with an authoritative presentation, I'm not surprised there was hesitation! But what is great is that you then engaged and drew out their concerns; that's more likely to convince your audience in the longer term.

One thing that I appreciate in an opposing argument is the willingness of the arguee to respect me and want to sway me instead of telling me how wrong I am.

Thanks. Yes, I think respect for non-crazy opposing views is essential. As a practical matter, this is even more true when the opposing views are a majority view, and the view you are advancing is a minority one.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We're doing the Polar Plunge this afternoon. I should already be drinking.
