Hi Nilly!
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I actually think about modesty a lot, usually when I walk by one of the women in my neighborhood who wear the full burqa or whatever -- only their eyes showing. I wonder if they think I'm as much of a whore in my dress past my knees and tights and etc. as the girl in tight jeans and a belly shirt.
I wonder the same thing! NSM during the winter, but last summer when I'd just moved to this neighborhood (which has a huge Muslim population and many many women walking around in burquas), I'd be walking around in a sundress with the baby strapped to my chest and suddenly be hyper-aware of just how much skin I was showing.
ION, I have convinced my mother to make matzoh crack this year for Passover. Mmmmmmm, crack!

I have a friend whose barely competent manager has decided that the solution to all their problems is to drag the whole department to some outdoor/nature center that does team building programs next week. (Including the person with skin cancer and the person with some sort of porphyria disorder, naturally.) Wonder what neat tricks they'll come up with.
Lord of the Flies was set out in nature, wasn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, and I nearly always have a sleeve of some sort (and no baby!) --still, the contrast is just so huge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
one of those all-over-ad cars..... for KRAV!
That's so tacky. I wonder who's driving it, and if they have a license to carry.
Jesse! I expected you to pipe up with help about my felony murder question. As opposed to an actual lawyer, because of your specialty. Won't all the bank robbers get charged, no matter who fired? I don't suppose it stops you from wanting to know, but it's not much of a bargaining chip.

I love the matzoh crunch--- all that carmelly goodness.
Seriously, Steph, that's exactly what I thought. Also, how odd!
A few months ago, a woman at work asked me I was Jewish. And I said no and she said she wondered because I always wore long skirts. I wanted to say, "No. It's just cold in my office and I got too fat for the rest of my pants to fit comfortably."
