Rats! I hate dynamic links. I'm not sure how to get permalinks to the pages within Annie's site.

Actually, I'm having trouble getting through to their site right now while other sites are working for me.

I just reread Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It ended differently from the way I remember, as if the epilogue had magically rewritten itself.

Every time I read it (and I can't find my copy anywhere right now), I truly do forget until the end that Low-Key the cellmate is Loki. Durrrrrrrr.

I guess now I won't forget. Until the next time I pick up the book. Maybe the cover of the book causes my brain to erase that tiny tidbit of info.

I'm not glad Sox lost a temporary crown, but the information is useful because (I swear this happened) The Boy had a crown break tonight (I think he was eating lasagna or something equally not-crunchy). Not a temp crown, though; a permanent one. He inspected it, rinsed it off, wrapped it in a paper towel and said, "Go put this in your purse, will you?"

Me: "God, we are PURE CLASS."

So I come home and see that Sox lost a temp crown, and after reading the advice about denture adhesive, I'm wondering if that would work for him, too, even though it's a permanent crown, not a temp one.

I love that reveal so much. It's especially funny because I was e-mailing and texting a friend of mine while reading the book, and partway through the book, I commented that I was just waiting for Loki to show up.

Beverly, I'll definitely try the sock thing. I have washable (soft) wrist braces, but if I didn't, the brace liner is a grand idea too. Any more useful household tips I should know about, Bitches? You appear to have the best ideas.

The house looks fab, Erin!

I've never actually read any Gaiman. I know this is something I should rectify. Being dyslexic, books take me forever even though I'm a big fan of reading. Still haven't read all of Pratchett's. Really must.

Had to share.

Can't books on tapes help with that?

Ditto wrt Pratchett.

Ooh. Those are lovely plants, Spidra. It's always interesting to me to see what people grow in other parts of the country--most of those are flowers I rarely if ever see around here (USDA zone 6-7, with vicious summers and winters). I saw that a lot of those plants are CA natives, yes? One thing I love about the garden center near my house is that they work with the local botanical garden and encourage people to use as many native plants as possible when landscaping.

It's very early, and my mind immediately went to a Monty Pythonish place of "But most of our native plants are carnivorous!" "Well, we won't deal with the invasive species if we get all namby-pamby about it, will we!"
