I wish we had some more counterspace, Sue. But I am hugely happy that I have a window (with a sill! I have a plant that I have kept alive for 7 WHOLE MONTHS on it, close to a water source) over the sink.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, I am not sure I am comfortable calling another poster unevolved.
I was talking about all humans, not a specific poster.

Language is fascinating. I wish I could go back and retake my History of the English Language course again, as I am no longer 19, and consistently semi-stoned.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
OTOH, we do things like pay complete strangers nice compliments. There's no reason for doing that, but to make someone feel nice.
And sometimes we see an Indian dude walking out of a bank and say "Namaste," probably to make him feel nice, but instead we totally make him feel weird and Other-tastic. There is no winning!
I've also got the first-generation, no grandparents born here thing going for me. Or against.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

All I can ever think of when I hear/read "namaste" is "namaste, motherfucker!" And I can't remember who here coined that.
Anyone?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
At the greatest point I am fourth generation, from peasant stock. So I always think I want to take to my bed like a Victorian Maiden, but n realty, my ancestors were busy being servants, and could not afford that luxury!
Oops, meant fourth, not third. None of my great grandparents were from the US.

I wish we had some more counterspace, Sue.
This picture shows all the counter and cupboard space in my kitchen. [link] It would make the baby Jeebus cry. I have a freestanding wooden island that I bought and use for food prep, but I need more storage space.
My kitchen is long and narrow, so I'd like to turn the kitchen around and put cupboards along the long wall, maybe even do an L. I wish I was handy and could do it myself...I'd like to do it sooner than later.
ETA picture.

In Kathmandu, it's a constant chorus of "namaste." You make eye contact, accidental or not, and you must exchange it. It wasn't until the last few days that "motherfucker" didn't echo in my head. t /bad
eta: totally a crosspost!
ION, 6 clementines and pink lady are 2 clementines too many for my guts. Oops.
