You people talk too much. I had to skip twice. Here's what I remember from the time I thought I can catch up with the thread:
Nora, I don't know how the story with your boss ended, but I hope it involved something painful for him. I'd leave the rest for your imagination.
As far as "Christmas is an American thing and that's why all TRUE and REAL Americans should celebrate it": sure. That's why it's not being celebrated anywhere else on this world. Nope. Not at all. Europe never heard of Christmas.
And that's about it. I've been meaning to re enter the conversation when I noticed you're in the middle of something and didn't want just to post and run away.
Sean, once again, I reclaiming my right to hug in good news as well as bad: {{Sean}} I'm so happy for you, sweetheart.
In 30 minutes I'll go to a demonstration that I know wouldn't change a thing, but I hope that at least it would change some minds. With some luck, these mind will understand that human rights are for all, not for a selected oligarchy. [link] I'll be there with my dad and at least one friend.
Kristin, here are some sterling ones, so as not to irritate your skin!

[link] This one is here for the title. Also, because I suspect it of TWILIGHT themes snuck in there. WTF? Is that a uterus?

Beware, once Plei goes off on an Etsy search, things get really really strange.
still scarred from when she started finding "vampire" jewelry for me
I only let a COUPLE weird ones in.
This one is whimper-causing lovely, but I suspect it wouldn't play well with skin: [link]

And then you started in on the awful blingy fang caps, and my eye still twitches when I think about them.

Oooh, that is pretty.
I've started browsing for Alice In Wonderland necklaces. I've looked at stuff from this seller for almost a year: [link]
I admit, Jilli, I was rather hoping to get you as a Secret Santa person, because I wanted to get you a few of these.
Oh, I meant in Kristin's. You, I was attempting to make your head explode with the horror, because I knew you'd FEEL MY PAIN.
Fascinating conversation, folks.
As someone who grew up reading myths and studying world religions, my POV has always been that every myth is someone else's religion story, and everyone's religion is someone else's superstition. I totally forget that other people don't think the same way, which usually ends in a very awkward silence after someone interprets my "statement of fact" as bashing their religious belief.
Oh, yes. "Myth" is not a perjorative or dismissive term to me, but I forget that everyone else isn't using such terms in the same way I am. Trying to explain that to a religious person who thinks I just called him an idiot has made me very mindful of what comes out of my mouth when I talk to religious persons. Mostly, I just don't talk. I do admit to feeling rather resentful that they get to talk freely about God and Jesus and angels, but if I talk about what I believe, I get, at best, frozen out.
some types of Buddhism are explicitly atheist in that once you peel all the illusion away there is, in fact, nothing, and gods are just more illusion
One reason I was attracted to Buddhism. We're still good friends, but the relationship didn't last. I just couldn't believe in Nothing, either.

If all is one, then I am now the turtle I will be someday. Also, everything else.
Awww, meara! And those are super-cute.

I KNEW IT. Which is why I feel no remorse for sending you the link to the rhinestone Batman symbol iron-on.
