Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From ita's link:

In 2002 she gave birth to a son named Evan. In 2006 she started promoting Evan as being a “Crystal Child” and herself as being an “Indigo Mom”.

Is the Crystal Child/Indigo Mom trend over now? I wanna google those phrases and get graphs of their usage over time....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was totally confusing Erroll Flynn with Douglas Fairbanks. I'm not sure if that changes my decision.

I don't find Zappos particularly speedy

Bzuh? I've been amazed at the speed of Zappos delivery: they often outrace Amazon, in fact. Like, order after 4 PM on Wednesday, shoes are delivered Thursday. Astonishing.

Maybe the UPS trucks get lost in SF? *grins*

ita, I just saw that bodycount site too. YIKES. But it's consistent with what my brother (an infectious disease specialist) says: and it's not just the unvaccinated children who die, but as they age those kids will be at risk all their lives until they do get vaccinated. It's an ongoing public health issue, and it shocks me how it can be linked so directly to one fraudulent physician.

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

Jenny McCarthy scares me. She has that much crazy. And that much influence. Anti-vax is something I have a huge problem wrapping my head around, and I can wrap my head around a lot of stuff I virulently disagree with.

Conspiracy theories are weird. Once someone believes one, they reject all contrary evidence as being part of the conspiracy.

I think all kids should be taught how to think. Or how not to think wrong. (i.e. how to avoid common types of irrationality.)

Less Wrong is an interesting blog that deals with this....

I've only ordered from Zappos twice I think. My budget doesn't really allow for much in the way of new clothes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I've been amazed at the speed of Zappos delivery: they often outrace Amazon, in fact. Like, order after 4 PM on Wednesday, shoes are delivered Thursday. Astonishing.

Amazon actually bought Zappos a year and a half ago or so - since then, the delivery time has varied from old-Zappos to Amazon-regular.

That said, Zappos, Amazon, and Target are my main shippers, which is a lot these days. (We got our Christmas tree through Target.com! It was awesome.) My UPS guy just sighs every time he sees me.

Skimmed, but I will just F and then C all of Perkin's choices, Paul Gross arms for JZ, offer sympathy for msbelle,and ~ma for WindSparrow.

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

Found a coat. $10 at a charity Thrift Store, so win win win. Also at that store, like an entire wardrobe of my size stuff from Talbots. I did not buy it all, but did get some. Holy Majoly. I may have to do a picspam fashion show later.

Because books.

Damn it, I knew I forgot something. I don't think the coat is here, msbelle, so yay on the thrift store buy!

I feel like all seven dwarves today: Drippy, Sneezy, Scratchy, Barky, Sleepy ...
