OH, I was looking at a WHOLE OTHER "Johnny and June" song! Hah. (ETA: I thought you were saying the SONG was "Johnny and June", not the song was BY Johnny and June)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yahoo answers seems to have a decent answer to this one: [link] They say it means he's going to roll through Jackson like a snowball gathering speed rolling down a hill. Also found one site that says it's not a drug reference, but doesn't clarify what it is.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That makes sense. I am pretty sure he did not mean [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

AFAIK, to snowball someone is to bamboozle them, fool them into doing something for you. Though now that I think about it, I can't recall where I heard it used that way.

Because books.

I think that's just plain snowing, Zen. The only place I can remember "snowballing" used was in that Julia Roberts movie Stepmom, but they never explained what it meant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My knowledge of snowballing is Sophia's.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did more packing of boxes to mail, met someone from the hood who bought two board games from me, and started transferring things in the fridge out of real dishes. I can't believe I did not think to do that before. In the fridge were/are: 2 medium pyrex casserole dishes, 2 small pyrex refrigerator dishes, a glass pitcher, a plastic pitcher, MY COFFEE POT!, a butter dish, and a tupperware lettuce keeper.

Now I am going to take a warm bath and go to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

The very best tool I've found for cleaning out details is a nutpick, sarameg. I've bought more than one set of cheap nutpicks and a nutcracker. The bonus is that type of nutcracker is excellent for opening stubborn metal cans of varnish thinner and the like.

Oh yeah, I was thinking about asking for some used dental tools from my dentist. 2-3 teeny stair steps in those insets on the column. At least this is the worst post. The other 2 have flat surfaces. I've got steel wool, which will be the last go-over.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Somewhere or other, I just saw a review of some new falafel chips made of chickpeas, as well as some other chips made out of beans, but I can't remember where.
