Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my assâ€”which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

am exploring Ph.D programs in the area in between sneezes.

Solidarity. I've almost finished my (second - heh) M.A., and have been desperately looking for Ph.D. funding for the past six months (and plan to spend this academic year continuing to try and secure future funding). It's been a nightmare so far, as the economy means less university funding is available, so my distinction is worth less than it would have been a year ago. But I am determined!

Hey, Atwood is a great topic for a Ph.D. thesis. I'm a former English teacher, but could never have made an Eng Lit Ph.D. work. It's all social science for me. I only wish my teachers had told me about it, instead of setting me up to be a mediocre English student.

Dammit, I'm 37; shouldn't I be all settled into a career path by now?!

I'm 31 (and was beginning a career that got cut short for various reasons) - but my friend, who was doing a Ph.D. when I was doing my M.A., is in her 40s I think. You're never too old for academia!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I've been beset by milestones, lately. Owen's got his first loose tooth! What's the Tooth Fairy leaving, adjusted for inflation? I used to get a quarter.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Not that I'm there yet, Cash, but my mom always used dollar coins or $2 bills for that sort of thing. The cool factor makes up for the fact that it's not a lot of money.

Oooh!! The gold dollars in a little sack like pirate booty!!

Oh, I think I might have a couple of Sacajawea dollar coins around.

We have been doing Sacajawea dollars. I only have 5 left, and 3 teeth are currently loose (one very very loose) so I have to find a source of dollar coins someplace.

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

A quarter for a tooth still sounds pretty good to me. I'm gonna take a stand and say the tooth fairy doesn't leave folding money - she's hauling around bags of change and bags of teeth.

(Eta that since my world does not contain anyone likely to lose teeth at the moment, I can be wholly abstract about it)

Dammit, I'm 37; shouldn't I be all settled into a career path by now?!

That's a 20th century expectation, Erin, we'r all supposed to be fluid and reacting to changing circumstances these days.
