I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Another reason I need to find a husband- so I can borrow his jeans. Adds "wears a larger size than me" to the list.

Are you all taking notes? You know it takes a village to find a husband.

I need a sitcom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it OK for a 10-year old to ride a train alone, if adults are waiting for him at his stop?

I say yes.

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

A sad picture of the generation gap? Or just a typical case of a kid trying to be different from his parent?

Worksafe, but some other posts on this blog are not.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There are very few people in the lab with me this week. Not that the lab was crowded before, but now it's eerily quiet.

Am I missing something? Is there some divide in the sci fi community where one can only like sw or st?

Apparently if you like Star Wars you're a lightweight who's only in it for the adventure and gee-whiz, where as Trekkies are in it for the science and intercultural philosophizing. Or something.

Wow, that's just...huh?

Gah people, I am so bored - I have three things with me I could do while sitting in this waiting room, but I don't wanna.

OTOH, is there a shortage of people for jobs that trade schools train for?

Absolutely. Any discussion of reviving nuclear power or building alternate energy facilities on a large scale eventually gets to the question of "Where the hell will we get the welders?" We're missing practically a generation of machinists, instrument and controls techs and the like.

Welders! People should watch flashdance more.

Ok, I did one of things I had with me. West coasters why no chatter?
