Pilot light is lit. I didn't have a match, but I twined a toothpick in the fork and lit that.
Like every year, I am terrified I will die for a few days until I get used to having the heat on.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Does a website exist where you can input a name and be told what language/ethnic group the bearer is likely to come from, and what gender s/he is?
The latter might be possible with google images.

Does anyone want a Buffy card game starter deck? Its getting heaved as part of my ongoing downsizing. Box is slightly squished, but there are instructions, a play mat, and a deck of cards in there. I played it a couple of times with Sumiko at the Chicago F2F a million years ago. Would happily drop it into the mail to a Buffista. Unless of course there is a Buffista museum. If there isn't, there should be.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm scared. Not five minutes ago I set up the havahart trap in the attic. Now something is thumping around upstairs. Please be just a squirrel...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Bon's got a good idea there.
Though I have worked with a Karthik who happened to be female, so you'll still run into exeptions.

'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"
Sophia! I'm so glad you found my suggestion useful!
(I always keep a couple matchbooks around, in the drawer with the candles, so I can find them by feel if necessary.)
Juliebird, take a big old worn towel to wrap around the Havahart, and then you can carry it out without worrying about your fingers getting nipped or bodily fluids being scared.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks, Callaluna!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Plei, the nail advice worked! I found some OPI Chip Skip for a base coat, used my Sephora/OPI polish and used some Nail Envy for a top coat since I haven't picked up any of the top coat suggestions. But they are smooth and pretty! I just need a bit of practice with the application and I should be good to go.

It's so weird because outside of jammies, I rarely find things I want at Children's Place. Weird, right? The boy clothes are all so skater/football/baseball playah. But we do need new pants yet none in N's size. gr. argh.
