In the context of the book, it's more bittersweet than sad. It shows that the orphan Anne has a real home.
Yeah. Still makes me cry, though.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Something to add to the rudeness discussion: People who pull into gas stations with their music at highway volumes and don't at least turn it down.
I actually often enjoy this. People enjoying their music! Which is different than mine, but might still be rockin'! Rock on!
(edit: that is to say, though, it usually stops when they open the door to pump the gas, so it doesn't last long)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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
But I wanted to share because without the Buffistas because you've been there for me.
It has been a joy watching you get past all that pain, askye.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, on nice days, I totally share my music with the rest of the world.
...Whether they like it or not.
I have not read Anne of Green Gables. I have not seen Anne of Green Gables. I have not read House of Seven Gables. I still don't really know what a gable is.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Perhaps it's because, as a woman of color, they are expecting me to bust a cap in their ass.
And this, darling, is one of the many reasons why I adore you.
Did your mother show?

Hooray, askye!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Oh, yes, Mom finally showed at 6:37. she claimed that she had left on time, that there was a reason that she was late. We got distracted and she never told me.
She also bought me a very pretty diamond cross, in the russian style. I'm not really a cross person, and I rarely remove the one necklace that I do wear. Plus, she bought be a different diamond cross a few years ago. Yes, I, the consummate heathen, own two diamond crosses.
Mom just doesn't get that I don't care about jewelry. She said that she would return it for something else. Would it be tacky to ask for a new iPhone (not the new new one, just one of the 3GS ones that will drop in price when the new one hits the stores)

Look, Vortex, if you wear this diamond cross, you will find a husband in no time. If you don't want to wear it, just keep it in your purse. Please? Do it for her.

Askye! Glad things worked out as they have.
(((( Sean )))) I hope the day got better.
Something to add to the rudeness discussion: People who pull into gas stations with their music at highway volumes and don't at least turn it down.When I was searching for a place to live from afar, one of the places I looked at has a gas station next to it. In Google street view, I saw a sign saying something to the effect of "Please turn off your music while pumping gas". Um. Yeah. Not renting that place.
