It sounds radical, but it seems to work for some people...
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It was called "Lost in Austen" and it starred Jemima Rooper; if anyone watched Hex, she played Thelma. I loved her character in that show, and she is just as charming in this. It was, IMHO, pretty charming and clever. Light and fun. I quite enjoyed it.
That was a lot of fun and I am not an Austen person. Don't shun me?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Liese, I think you've responded to my Facebook comments on that show, right? It's a revelation.
Yup, I think so. I like how they depict all these different scenarios, and they show them struggling with their decisions, but they let it play out.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I think the dialogue sounds real, too; especially the very funny interactions between the sisters and sisters-in-law.

Woohoo Corwood! Please pass some of that house-selling luck Bob-ward if you don't mind.
Anything in the form of an experience (tickets, dinner, game) he would be into?
Yes? I'm sure there is. He likes to do stuff. But I am totally blanking. We are going hiking tomorrow. To be hiking but also in pursuit of Maryland morels.

“Not dead yet!”
Urk. Just cut myself across three fingers while working in the kitchen. Nothing too horrible, only one cut was anything more than superficial and even that wasn't too bad, but I'm feeling stupid. First time in something like thirty years of cooking that I've done anything like that. (Knife slipped cutting sweet potatoes.)
Luckily, all the cuts are on my left hand, so even if they stiffen up, not such a big deal.
Worse was the fact that even though I'm doing better with the iron levels, even minimal blood loss can bring on wooziness, bright lights swimming in front of the eyes, and a lovely case of tinnitis.
But I will have Good Dinner, dammit.

Heh -- today I stood by and listened as a native Amharic speaker read the Census questions to a native Chinese speaker. Not a whole lot of pronunciations in common there, but they managed.

A nice restaurant that does something exciting with morels??

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Amharic! awesome. I wish I lived near some Habesha so mac could have a chance to organically form relationships with them.
