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

Dear Wise People in the Box - I am in need of a supplementary fireplace spark screen thingie. Fireplace is 42 inches wide, just under a foot of hearth and 36 - 42 inches high (just 30 inches high would be fine).

Technically I am not supposed to use prefab firelogs but it turns out real wood spits like a demon sucking salt and what it spits is, you know, ON FIRE. Clearly I need a secondary screen to supplement the hangy mesh thing.

Shop for me? Because I am finding random things that seem crazy expensive and I am trying so very hard to be pyroresponsible.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

They gave us Memphis's barbecue, I gather. Dry stuff on ribs? And then spelled it with a "q" in it, to add insult. Pfaugh.

I thought that's what it was. What the hell? It's not like pulled pork is some secret.

But sometimes magic...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But sometimes magic...

It is prone to disappearing.

sumi, agreed. And that was a dirty trick John played on Chicky.

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

I loved the trick he played, but I wasn't thinking of it as on Chickie.

I really liked this week's ep.

Why is Fox giving me Raising Hope (rerun) when TiVo thinks it's Human Target?

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

It looks like Panaceae has some reasonably priced fire screens: [link] or maybe something like [link]

Define crazy expensive? Give me a price range to search in?

ION, I should not be finding Aliens as soothing as I do right now.

Thank you, -t!!!!!

Man, I was finding things in the $500 range and they weren't actually stunningly pretty or anything.

That is so much what I am looking for. Thank you.

If it's more than $100, it better have some places for me to hang tea lights when I can't burn a real fire...
