Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Don't make us get our hate on, billytea.
Cost-wise, termites would seem to beat my "you need a $500 crown" in the ever-exciting "Mondays SUCK! Sweepstakes" I am, however, amused at the plans for a possible "I know from bugs" career.
{ETA: That should be "beat my" not "be my"!}

I am also pleased to report that I will be attending both the women's and men's singles finals at the Australian Open this weekend. Wish me Rafa!
Wow, those cakes are great!
Apparently I have the wrong kind of cough for the Delsym. Booo.
I am in awe that I know someone who can do shit like that! One of the cakes in the shape of a bottle of Jack is actually flavored with Jack Daniels. I wish I'd known her back when Jon and I got married, because I love her wedding cakes.
Those are some fine, fine looking cakes.
If you really want to tilt at the windmill that is my filth-resistant brain, ita, by all means go to. I would never deny you any harmless pleasure. I might be baffled, but I wouldn't deny.
ION, I came in to work today sneezing and snuffly and admitted that I'd had a really savage allergy attack over the weekend. The nurse practitioner immediately said, "What are you allergic to? Do you sneeze more when you're here? Is there anything we can do to make it better? I know, I should call Housekeeping and make sure they come in here and vacuum more often; the rugs can't be good for you. Would that help?"
There was no berating, no shaming, no accusation that I was trying to blow her eardrums out or sicken her or make her lose her appetite or force her to murder me. It's like I'm living in some crazy nonsensical land where no conversation ever goes the way I expect it to. I don't get it.
JZ, worse, what if you get used to working around others who, like you, are loving caring human beings? How demented would that be?
Maybe you're living in crazy melty land....
The Princess Industrial Complex
Whatev. Little girls like princesses? Srsly who cares? Yeah, some girls like princesses, and some grow out of it and some don't. Big woo.
For some reason this is hitting my Substanceless Cultural War Topics button, maybe it's that it's coming so hard and fast on the heels of that Chinese Mom book.
Maybe you're living in crazy melty land....
Our cafeteria has shrimp ceviche today, so we can rule out the World Without Shrimp.
TB, it's just... weird, with the "Please" and the "Thank you" and the "Good job" and stuff. What's their angle here?
