When I was a kid, part of our house burned down, and the fire fighters came. (Coincidentally a FF cousin was called to the fire, but that's neither here nor there.) Being completely terrible at causal logic at the time, I knew that firefighters were associated with house fires, but I couldn't figure out why, if they start the fires, they then put them out.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I love that Buffistas will, without much encouragement, torque themselves into weird positions/measure themselves/try to cross their eyes just to check out what someone else is talking about.
IIRC, that led to Rebecca Lizard kneeing herself in the face.

If you grab a ruler and measure your shoulder from neck-bend to end of shoulder, how long is it? Mine (right one) is 5 inches long. I suspect that's really short/narrow.
I have taken this measurement on approximately 3 billion people, and it is almost always between 5 and 6 on a woman.

...and that of course, there is a Buffista who can speak professionally on the subject.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right? Awesome.

I wish we had a house-brownie, though.
Seriously. Can't agree more. I could use some help with housework these days.
On my to do list? Calling movers.

I just did my taxes, and I am getting back less than last year, which is kind of sucky. I think if I gave more to retirement, I would do better, but I can't actually figure out the online thing to take more out of my check, and god forbid I call anyone to ask.

Thanks Sophia!
it is almost always between 5 and 6 on a woman.
My left is 4.5. Weird. I don't think I look lopsided.

My shoulder measurement is 5 1/2 inches on both sides, and I consider myself rather broad-shouldered (with abnormally long arms, about an inch longer than they should be). My shoulders are very straight and set back so my chest juts out. It hurts when I try and slump my shoulders for more than a few seconds.
