Xander ,'Empty Places'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
People actually eat peeps? I learn somethin' new every day here!
The only reason I DON'T eat Peeps is because CERTAIN PEOPLE think they turn me into a sugar-crazed and incoherent loony.
S'mores made with very dark chocolate and Peeps are very yummy. Plus, you get the fun of setting Peeps on fire!

Probably something else CERTAIN ADORABLE PEOPLE wouldn't want to encourage.
Re Natasha Richardson, I wonder if she had been hurt more initially after the fall, if she might have gotten help sooner and things could have been caught in time to do something.
Maybe. I think that if I cracked my head, but felt okay, I wouldn't bother to go to the hospital. I'd be on the lookout for signs of concussion, but that's it. And it sounds like that's what she did. When she got a headache later, she went to the hospital.
my cell phone had a call come in with caller ID blocked. Naturally I didn't answer it. They didn't leave a message. I'm guessing it was some telemarketer or something. But. Damn it. I'm really curious. Who the hell was it! Grrr.
Add to that, office mate is listening to March Madness game (I dislike basketball), I am waiting on information from half dozen people, and can't do much until then. And it's a nice day out. To say I am highly unmotivated to work is an understatement.

A couple of years ago in Columbus at a Blue Jackets hockey game, a little girl got hit in the head with a puck. She seems totally fine and walked out of the game smiling and laughing. Within a day, she had died of something similar. It was a freak accident. Tragic and sad, but an very freak accident.
It seems that laughing at uneducated people mispronouncing words is a perfectly fine Christian pastime for Elsie.
I've been thinking about getting a Kindle, or maybe asking for one for my next birthday. I'm waiting to see if the price goes down, though, and what the competitors will be like.
Google, Sony Attempt to Counter Amazon Kindle with 600,000-eBook Library
I think most of those books are probably available for the Kindle through other sources (Manybooks, Feedbooks, Project Gutenberg directly). I've always though Amazon was missing a boat by not converting all of Project Gutenberg to minimalistic Kindle texts and offering them for 5 cents each (to cover bandwidth costs) directly on the Kindle store - those of us that have grokked Feedbooks for the Kindle wouldn't use it, but many people would. They could increase the advertised size of their library quite a bit that way.

But that makes it sound like you turning into a sugar-crazed and incoherent loony is a bad thing.
