There's one of me and 518 people with my last name, which is rather more than I'd expected.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I love you baby....
And if it's quite all right, I need you baby....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Only the one of me with either my full birth or married name, and 335 or fewer total people with my birth surname -- oddly, most of them aren't related to me; the name is an originally Greek Ellis Island contraction that happens to coincide with an originally someplace-else-completely Ellis Island contraction. All the actual Greek-American birth-surname people in the US are my immediate family. If we want to extend our meager rule, my brothers had better get to breeding right the hell now.
Happy birthday, Shir!
Happy anniversary, Sheryl!
ION, it is true, as Hec reports, that Matilda lifting her arms and pleading "Holdie?" does indeed melt me. I defy anyone to refrain from melting under those circumstances; in fact, I'm melting now just thinking about it.
Also true that feathers fill her with horror and disgust. Though not on birds or in hats. A strutting pigeon or waddling duck or jaunty little cocktail hat is just fine with her; a feather just sitting there not attached to anything is terrifying (also featherdusters; if you have a featherduster and we're planning a visit, please hide it or she will flip out like a mammal).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I don't own any evil feather dusters, but I will have to hide my boa.

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.
There is 1 or fewer of me in the U.S. Not loving the hedging here...
In other news, made a veggie lasgne which I lightened up by substituting tofu for 2/3rds of the cheese, and added more spicing. Amazingly I'd say nom, nom.

Because books.
There were only 24 of me. And naturally, in terms of famous people with my last name, they named Steve Garvey ... which is my husband's name.
