Good first days to Dana and quester,
OH! Happy first day to quester too! Somehow I missed that we had three people starting today.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
'War Stories'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This afternoon, for the first time ever, I felt like a mom of twins. Noah was in Grace's crib. She is doing this headbanging thing that I don't love. And Noah looked at her and started doing it. She is laughing like crazy at him. I'm trying to get them both to stop. One would look at me, stop, and then look at the sibling, start laughing and do it again. Neither would listen.
This is the first thing today to make me smile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy new jobs, y'all!

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

Huh. It's weird when an ex-coworker goes on to have a NYT article about him: A Barefoot Hippie Baker Is Now a Locavore Hero
I worked with this guy at Nature's Bakery (an organic whole-grain bakery cooperative) in Madison in '90-'91.
According to the baker, Americans’ wheat issues start on the farm. “The varieties of wheat grown in this country for industrial production are down to about five, so it’s all monoculture, chemicalized, no nutritional value,” said Ford, a serene, 43-year-old metalhead turned Deadhead who got his start as an accountant in a worker-owned Madison bakery. “The breeds are bred to stand up to abuse from the machines. We feed people this stuff that their bodies are not designed or adapted to eat. Of course they’re sensitive to it, and it’s not good for them and causes problems. And then we apply those standards to this?” he asked, gesturing to the tubs of dough around him, slowly rising to the beats of Black Star.

'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"
Good luck and job-ma to ita, Dana, and Jessica, too.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Good luck and job-ma to those who need it!
