David, thanks for finding the G014 post! I can't believe how far down the list I was! That's when me and Laura were posting twins. I always thought I was blabbier.

Cash, I LOVED Will in the World. I mean, love it fully. I do think that Mrs. Shakespeare is given very short shrift, but I also think it's possible that it is done because of what marriages were in the Early Modern period. Another book I've rally enjoyed is Michael Wood's Shakespeare.

Right now I'm teaching Chaucer which is a pleasure on its own, from sheer fun. I'll go back to Shakespere soonish to teach Hamlet. It's funny to my students how EASY Shakespeare feels after Chaucer.

Oh, msbelle. I'm so sorry. I know how wearying those kinds of battles can be (thanks to Jake). Hang in there, lady.

So hard. I remember a friend's sister who decided to stop going to school in like 5th or 6th grade, and what could her parents do? She was too big for them to physically make her.

Man, that list of post counts really hit home how many folks have drifted off.

I'm not going to re-read bureaublahblah, as I seem to recall most of the times I was posting heavily in there I was treading in guacamole.

Evan Lysacek is on the Ellen show, and the world of figure skating kind of cracks me up, because it's not like he's overly butch in real life.

Ah, the days when I wasn't actually the #1 poster in a given thread. And then the days when I was. Then I wasn't anymore.

Yeah, I was totally on Rafmun's list.

Lucky number 13, representing!

Yeah, I have a feeling I was on that list as well.

I think the Rafmun stuff would crack me up. I am pretty sure I was trying to make him actually say I was mean.

The Chat Roulette segment on TDS last night nearly killed me.

It's at 8:30 or the second segment.

I just threadsucked most of talkymeat 1 and saved it as a pdf so that I can read it at work.
