They're really fun because there are all sorts of little fiddley bits - hidden doorways, and things that open and move.
Damn it. I'm usually quite resistant to neat toys that I don't actually need, but I may have met my match.

Thrive to spite them
Growing up my Mom's rule for birthdays was to only invite guests equal to my age plus 1. I don't think there was a big - invite everyone from the class push and she didn't do the invites during class (I don't know I'm vague on it all). But it worked for me because I didn't like big crowds.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
For the fizzy water people, are you using bottled water or tap water? Our tap water is pretty hard, and I'm wondering how that would affect the process.
I use tap water, and ours is exceptionally hard, and it hasn't been a problem at all.

Oh, good news, Gar! I'm so glad for you.
I went running this morning and now I'm going climbing but I got chilled and all I really want to do is huddle under a blanket. Bah.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, Steph, I wanted to ask you -- someone I know has just been prescribed Cymbalta (active ingredient: duloxetine) for intermittent bouts of depression. I've been doing a bit of research into it, try and work out if it's a good choice of AD and what they should look out for. Do you know anything about it?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What is in tonic that makes a diet version necessary? I don't do fizzy (soft) drinks, so I am unfamiliar with this stuff.
So... yesterday I bought a car and teched a show.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What kind of car? What show?

Because books.
A car! Awesome.
This is wild. Although the second person to draw the line sort of threw the whole thing.
