Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Not to mention that whole husband thing.

Oh, him? I'll see him again this summer, when teachings done.

And I'm kinda not joking. Le sigh. We spend the most "together" time every day inches away from each other...and unconscious.

Speaking of, it's that time. Night, all. Bitch well, and bitch on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Those comments about SF don't bother me. I always think, "Okay, well, more burritos for me and I'll take GG Park and the World Champion San Francisco Giants while I'm at it."

Our wings are not tired.

Well I'm speaking more generally about useless comments on "news" sites. And of course the SF comments don't bother you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I suspect comments are part of their business model generating click-throughs and blah blah.

Yeah, sadly, that's likely true.

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

I suspect comments are part of their business model generating click-throughs and blah blah.

For newspapers? Heck yes. People don't pay for as many subscriptions as they did ten and twenty and thirty years ago and still want to read the news. Papers have to pay the bills, pay the reporters and generate the content.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, they do. It's a shame that endlessly hateful and unhelpful comments are the byproduct.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I was so happy last week when we unpacked another box and I found my oatmeal bowl and my ice cream cup. The bowl is a Buffalo China thick white diner bowl. Perfect size, perfect shape. The ice cream cup is a vintage coffee cup--back when your everyday china had cups and saucers. This one is bowl-shaped, with a handle, and again, thick white ironstone. It's the capacity of a custard cup, so perfect for ice cream.

We've never actually unpacked the everyday dinner plates. We have the luncheon plates and soup plates, and they do us just fine for our sized portions, plus pasta or entres with sauces. We have other bowls for other purposes, but my Alice bowl is for chili, beans, cereal, and soups. It's the sort of bowl Alice would have, deep and round and curved. This one is Alice blue, watercolor washy inside and out, rimmed in yellow and handpainted with yellow flowers. We have two, and I love them. Salads, when I actually compose a salad instead of grabbing a fistful of romaine and eating it out of hand, goes in a ginormo pasta bowl, because my salad is a meal, and it's huge. And fun to build and destruct.
