Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

But she's probably not serious.

She appears to think she is serious, but I don't think it will happen. First they need to deal with the fact that she is going to college and working 2 jobs because she married a man who was hear on a student visa from England, and he can't work because he has no green card.

She seems very confident that they can learn Norwegian easily.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

Yikes. Norwegian itself isn't a particularly difficult language, but actually learning Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, or Finnish (which *is* a particularly difficult language) ends up being a tremendous task because basically everyone in Scandinavia speaks English. So unless you address someone in incredibly competent Norwegian, they are just going to reply in English.

My friends and I used to joke that if we ever moved to Norway or Sweden we'd have to pretend to be from some incredibly obscure country (or just make one up entirely) and to not speak English. It was hard enough a lot of the time getting Chinese people to speak to us in Chinese while we were in China, and usually my Chinese was significantly better than their English.

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

Why are they balking? If you have a prescription, they need to fill it. I don't get why they give you such a hard time.

Too soon since the last time. But, hey! I really want to go into work this week. And that's what it's going to take,

But it's finally been called in! I just need to grab it before my next meeting. Which requires outside pants, sadly.

There is a fairly amazing number of people who hear "socialist" and think "Nazis."

The Nazis really ruined socialism for everyone (and a lot more than that, of course.)

Always Anti-fascist!

The newsbabe's name is Megyn Kelly, and I'm surprised she's not in the Attic right now...for the record, her name looks like a condition, spelled like that.

To paraphrase Don Draper, "I don't think anybody wants to think about cancer in their cookies."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Breast Cancer Cookies. . . hmmm, it might have been better had they called them "Breast Cancer Awareness Cookies."

It's sort of like the long-running, highly successful "Walk for Hunger" here. Uh, maybe walk against hunger??
