Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh fuck, that is hysterical!

Oh, Toddson, I owe you an answer from the last Natter thread: Hebrew computers can have two options: either the English one, which is exactly like any English-speaking computer, or entirely in Hebrew - not just the letters, but all words are translated too (not just transliterated).

Compatibility and switching between the languages is a huge issue, because it's written right-to-left (much like Arabic), much more than translating or having the actual letters (even though their shapes is so different from the English characters).

It's still way easier than having a computer in Chinese, though.

ita, I say yay because I like the shape etc. the pink is a little too orange, and not icy enough. It won't look great on you, but it won't make you look sallow either.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Hee--I saw that LOLcat last night and immediately thought of tommyrot!!

Allyson, love the idea of Sam the bat's bat adventures!! Want to see it in print asap.

My mom leaves heaps and heaps of laundry for me to fold (and iron), because she loves my folding (which is very flattering, in its way).

I'm not a big fan of folding, but I can get in an ironing zone. Set me up with an ironing board in front of a tv and a basket full of wrinkly clothes, and I'll have them done for you within an hour or two (depending on the amount of clothes). That's how I did my ironing in college (when I wore lots of cotton clothes that required ironing right out of the dryer)--I'd let them pile up and get them all done at once. I'd do my mom's all the time when I last lived at her place.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

See, Kat, I was just about to say I think it's too pale and too yellow. I think it'll make ita look washed out. Which is too bad, cause it's super-pretty.

Thanks, Nilly.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Nobody has any colour palette answers for me? Yay? Nay?

It looks very pretty, but I don't know your season. The last time I followed a season link here I got all confused. I thought I was a winter....but it said I was an autumn. Won't autumn bring out the yellow in my medium skin?

Heh, I get the opposite from my daughter.

He has warned me if I do join, not to be offended if he doesn't friend me. In our town, I think I really would be the only parent on facebook. I probably don't want to see what the high schoolers are writing on the wall anyway. I totally should have had a girl.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I don't mind laundry too much. I hate having to tote everything down to the laundry room, but at least I can do 4 loads at one time.

Ironing, however, I try to avoid at all costs.

When I was a residence hall director for a freshman women's dorm, one of our first hall activities was a "how to do your laundry" seminar. We'd teach them how to sort laundry, load the machine, etc. This was necessary. One of residents set the washing machine on FIRE because she way overloaded it and the agitator got stuck causing too much friction on the belt and viola! Fire bad.

I am looking frantically for another teaching position before the school year starts (loong story).

Oh, good luck! When does your school year start?

Oh, and I'm definitely making sure to stay hydrated, thank you! I have a big 2-liters bottle next to my desk, which I get to fill a couple of times a day. I have my very own version of a drinking problem.

Because books.

I think that's a hard color for a lot of people to wear, but it's an adorable dress. So. Not really helpful.
