Thanks, everyone for the positive, helpful comments on my twin sister's pregnancy. She went in to have her blood drawn today and her HCG levels doubled in 24 hours (which is what they want to see). This has reassured her somewhat. We know the next 12 weeks will be a nail biter but for now, she is pregnant and happy to be so. We'll deal with things as they come.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

[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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Shir, what kind of work are you doing on oral history?
Nothing much. One of the questions I have to answer is about oral testimonies. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with them and the von Ranke historiography just can't handle them and that's why they can seem difficult, but it's true that one needs a method to check oral history, a method modern historiography still doesn't have. But it's says a lot more about historians than the oral history for itself.
Just one more bloody question to answer and then I'll be able to go to bed.
Someone remind me to spit of the grave of von Ranke when I'll have the chance. Sadistic bastard.
Edit:
I hate this paper.
I am Aims.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh. Oh oh oh.
I think I found the hidden oral testimony in the 120 pages of texts I had to read.
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 80% sure, and that will do for now: it is an oral testimony, and I can base my point on it. Screw von Ranke, screw that redundant class and paper.

Oh, good, Cash. I hope things continue to go well for your sister.
Screw von Ranke in the ear! [runs off to google von Ranke] Huh. Apparently Leopold von Ranke was Robert Graves uncle. [link]
Eh, screw him anyway.

Hec just started laughing and clapping his hands and squeeing for no apparent reason.
I chopped my hair. It's all pixied in the back and a messy assymetrical pointed cheekbone length layered crop in the front.
As soon as I can get my bf to take photos, I'll post 'em on FB.
It was a complete impulse and I'm a little in shock, but mostly I love it. I feel about 5 years younger.
