I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Until we got bought by the Dutch in the mid-90s, we were a nepotism-friendly company. We're talking generations of employees working here, going back to 1913, when it was founded. If your dad or mom was here, you started working in the summer as an intern/temp doing some filing when you were 16, if not younger. After you graduated from high school, you'd start in one of the entry-level jobs until retirement. If you didn't already have family here but were hired without nepotism, you could get your own family members employed after you became established.

It just so happens that my cousin-in-law is now the company's CFO, but since I was hired after applying to a blind ad in the Tribune, I can't give him credit for my employment.

(And hey, seriously - what's up with scheduling the wedding two days after your birthday?)

Making sure that DKH never forgets your birthday? He might forget the anniversary, but your birthday's a lock!

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

Thanks, Nilly!

Wait, do we have the same birthday? September 12?

No, I'm afraid not.

Shir was talking about the Hebrew date of my birthday (which is the one I celebrate). Each year, it coincides with a different general-date. I was lucky enough to share birthday, this way, with Nutty, Emmett and meara. This year, it's your turn!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

FredPete, I'm so sorry for you loss. It's heartbreaking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This year, it's your turn!

Yay!

“Not dead yet!”

Nilly! Mazel tov to you and Khusband! (He has a nickname already! AWESOME!)

And FredPete, I am so, so sorry for your loss. You gave Teddy a good life and I know how hard to lose him.

Finally, I am also now back (and showered) from the best time at the zoo with Stephanie and Ellie and Frisco. Ellie is a world class flirt, y'all-- she had Nate wrapped around her finger and received a huge hug good-bye. And Frisco is a cutiebug.

Also got to see Sparky and her Most Excellent Husband and of course, Baby K, who was just darling and all kinds of adorable. In short, there must be more F2F-age. And Nate & Abby are at great baby-wrangling age.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Remaining twin not so evil! He will usually say "hi" to me, for example.

Also no goatee.

This is why Jilli became concerned when I started talking about enjoying the nice weather; sometimes I morph into my non-evil twin, Gene.

If hand you a flower with a smile, run.

Totally and completely envious of the DC face-to-face!!!
