My FaceBook status updates end up boring because I have to run them through the work-filter and the mom-filter.
That can be tricky.

You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I assume he submitted for review? I'm just not that brave. REJECTION MAKES ME FEEL SAD!
Seriously, I still have my Ira Glass rejection letter to remind me I suck when I get uppity.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
No idea. Before he became story writer boy, last I heard he had finished law school and was working crazy hours. I knew he had wanted to quit and write instead (our parents know each other), just didn't know he'd actually done it.

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

That is cool!
I had a neat pocket watch once, but I went to the flea market and bought a cow-belly magnet and put it in the same pocket as the pocket watch, and that was the end of that....
eta: No such thing as a flee market, right?

My current wristwatch has been living more or less permanently in my purse for several weeks. I think it's time to move on.

EWG has released a review of research on cell phone radiation. Among other things:
A joint study by researchers in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom found that people who had used cell phones for more than 10 years had a significantly increased risk of developing glioma, a usually malignant brain tumor, on the side of the head they had favored for cell phone conversations[link]
They also have a database of phones & PDAs so you can see how much radation your tech emits. My phone is pretty bad, boo. But I barely use it.

Huh. The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?

Jess, that's a beautiful watch!
I really love this one: [link] I just don't need a pocketwatch, dang it.
