At the antique store, I got a copy of "The Art of Serving and Cooking" from 1932. There are separate chapters about how to properly serve meals for hostesses who have servants and hostesses who don't.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I made an ill-advised attempt to get something above my head at Home Depot, causing something else to fall on my head.

not your mom's socks.
Congratulations on what looks like a fantastic new school Matilda, JZ & Hec!
I am back, in surprisingly little pain (achy jaw, but seriously? this dentist is made of magic beans), and have to go back in two weeks. boo. but - this dentist? I will go back to. My first non-sadistic dentist. what a freaking difference.
Going back to sleep now.
ETA: Matilda is not Emeline. The beans made me do it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That's one thing Gavin got right, and the locals backed him. It's something that provides a huge material benefit for all the parents in the city.
Actually, to be a fucking socialist for a moment, the PFA initiative benefits everyone in the city. Parents have more flexibility in their pocketbook and in their timebank, and future generations are getting more education, which is always a net good.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Heh, I have been remarkably injury-free lately, but get a little sleep in me...
In the last 24 hours, I stepped on a tack cleaning my closet (it bled a LOT!), sliced my palm getting the recycled broken glass in the car, and got a small cut on my finger bringing in groceries.
Being responsible is dangerous, y'all!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Juliana--don't know if you saw my posts, but we just got back form a 1400 mile motorcycle trip through Northern California. So many great motorcycle roads around your neck of the woods and I thought of you when we were driving through Big Sur.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry Ginger and Erin. [pushes bubblewrap toward each of them through the interpipes]

“Not dead yet!”
I'm nowhere near Erin & Ginger, but I did have my feet go out from under me on a wet ramp this morning.
Luckily, my posterior is currently well padded.
