She's sad, however, that they haven't turned her eyes brown. Which is freakish, because the woman has insanely green eyes.

I am a green-eyed person who covets the brown, also. Although I sorta learned a life lesson as a teenager, when I noticed that my beautiful, brown-eyed cousin Amy was wearing green contacts.

Stephanie, I'm pretty sure that your girl will be just fine. I'm not an expert on these things, but you have good reason to believe she is over the bug. You are just having working-mom guilt and nerves.

It's a matter of holding it with the filler port upright, taking the can of butane and pushing it down into the port and it fills like a car tire valve.

Hmmmmm. This sound pretty doable. Thanks!

Does Bon-bon know she's a regulation fire type? (And an awesome one, I'm sure.)

My mother's lashes got pretty thick with the glaucoma meds. She's sad, however, that they haven't turned her eyes brown. Which is freakish, because the woman has insanely green eyes.

That's it exactly - that's the medication that they isolated the ingredient that makes lashes grow and marketed it as Latisse. And I'm glad to know it didn't your mom's green eyes brown, because I like my eyes green.

Though I do prefer removing it in the shower because the tubes look weird in my sink.

You know, I think that's actually what turned me off of it. The stuff looked like little spider legs.

creme brulee

Now I want creme brulee. I will marry a guy who can cook. I'll fix the cars, man, you just cook.

I also want a little bitty torch to make jewelry with. Not that I have ever made jewelry. Possibly I just want a handy little torch I could keep in my purse.

"Seriously? You just happen to have one on you?"

Hee. Hot.

How about a Star Trek toy phaser that's been modified to fire a real laser that's strong enough to pop balloons and blind people?

Phaser-to-laser mod puts out 465mW

I have refillable clicky sticks but woeful refilling skills. I manage it, sure, but the escaped fumes/fluid makes me fear for my surroundings. Not to mention the volume that gets on my skin.

I'll have to go back and read the discussion on eye color, but...I started out with dark brown eyes and now have light green eyes. Didn't even notice the change until my thirties. (Then again, I had blond hair as a wee one and am dark brown now, so maybe it's an inverse thing.)

Carmel brown eyes...mmmm. So pretty.

That Star Trek laser is crazy. I want one.

Thank you for explaining that! I've been wondering how that research came to be and assumed it was some sort of penicillin-type accident.
