I can always claim I met Sox at Sparky's wedding! Which is also where I met Sparky.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Buffistas hung out with my mom and stepdad in a whole other state, while I was back home in Ohio! My mom and stepdad were in Vermont on vacation, and megan walker and Trudy were also in Vermont, and they all planned to meet up at my brother's restaurant (Trudy had met my mom when she previously visited Cincinnati, so it wasn't a totally out-of-the-blue thing).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Because it's the Buffistas, I knew it wouldn't be long before someone mentioned the other way.
And risk pregnancy ?

All part of my elaborate white slavery axe murder plan. Just FYI.

Well, I didn't know I was dyslexic until really late.
Skipping a couple dozen to claim Seska as my sistah! When I was a kid, there was a different technical term for it...'stupid.'
No joke, it wasn't until Cher started talking about dyslexia that anybody put 2 and 3 together to look into what caused my slow reading, mixing up letters, leaving out portions of sentences, etc.
One college professor, bless him, used to drop my bluebooks, ungraded, on my desk with a time when I was required to verbally tell him what I knew.
Most other instructors just shook their heads and tsked, "How can someone so smart be so..."
In a way, I'm glad. I'm not sure I would have taken to the accommodations my faux son uses now. Plus, I work really hard to figure things out.

Hah!
I usually just say "my friends" when sourcing some piece of arcane knowledge I've gleaned from here. The SO knows when I preface with "My Friend So&So" that I mean someone from the boards that he may have never heard of.
But at this point, he does know about lots of you. And I always show him Noah & Grace videos. He's much with the Noah & Grace love, as is right and proper.
And he's a geek too, with his own invisible friends, so it's not an issue with him.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Copped form others:
Cilantro: Needs more research
Olives: Oh indeed, all kinds.
Double-space after a period: Not as much as I used to. I'm getting better.
Muffaletta: Even more research
Semi colons, as well as serial commas, are as common as my horrid habit of comma splice errors.
My comma splice errors make editors, and English teachers, cry.

Poor lurkers. Now we are back to being all gang of 14
There is something I've been wondering about. Ever since the properties function was revealed to show registration order, I've been fascinated the numbers.
Most of the usual suspects are in the 200s and lower. But I'm 1212 (shout out to d who may have signed on, on or about, the same day). Where are the 300 to Elevenses?
Not for nuthin', here is my personal welcome...I want to hear from you!!
eta: ooooh, weird. I just realized that 1212 was my number when I did the AIDSRide in '97. Huh.
