My prediction on the comment to come: "Wait, where's the border? ...Oh, crap. Sorry?"
That's my prediction, too.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My prediction? It was the A-Team. Or perhaps Gilligan's Commandos....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All I want to do outside of my apartment today is get a manicure, and I'm not sure I can even bring myself to do that. Pathetic!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I just gave the lawyer here at the firm my notice, and his response was the one you always want to hear from your boss: "Nooooo!"
He understood when I explained my meltdown on Thursday night, and he approved me putting up a note in the breakroom at the bookstore to see if anyone there would be interested. I'm hoping that they can get someone by the time I go on vacation in mid-November, so I won't have to worry about coming back to 7-day workweeks.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Seriously, Kathy, I think it's a good move. Extra money is nice, but sanity is better in the long run.

A mantra I have to start living by! I could have done the 7-day workweek ten years ago, but now that I'm in my 40s, NSM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, I'll see you there are 3.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I wish I was in Chicago so I could take your 3rd job! It sounds perfect.
I hear you on the age and the 7 day workweek, too. I only have to do it for about 8 weeks a year, and at 35 it kills.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Three of the kids in the class had Twilight books with them, though, and claim to "love" vampires.
I ... I ....
head explodes
Sweet suffering Bram Stoker, what is WRONG with those children? I guess my idea to include a sidebar of "The Lady of the Manners top 13 vampire books" in the manuscript wasn't just self-indulgent.
