Well, now I know. Dole has a helpful video [link]
Also, there is latex, bagging, and deflowering involved in harvesting bananas, which my inner child finds giggle-worthy.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bananas don't grow on trees, BTW.
I was waiting for you to chime in on that!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Best of luck, Maria!!
But Decadence and New Orleans are next week! I have my fingers crossed, though high expectations are hard to fulfill.
I know ONE lesbian here, who I haven't met yet (but might tomorrow at a burlesque thing) and knowing this town chances are good that she would be the one you would hook up with. She is going to the fetish party...

Em never had any AG dolls. She has a gaggle of Dear America books, but come to think of it there's no relationship between the two, uh... never mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am still jealous of kids with American Girl dolls, even though I was already too old for them when they came out.
I also think they are a marker of being rich, since I'm sure my parents would never have bought me one. (See also: Cabbage Patch dolls.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't have to cover the whole plant to kill it by flooding.

Verners is also a soda.

Because books.
I'm not sure Sara wants one. She stopped playing with the Bitty Baby a while ago. She's not really a doll kid, except for her Monster High girls and some Barbies.

I think Jilli needs to see this.
OMG, I love The Bloggess so much. Have you read about her encounter with Neil Gaiman?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I have been told I am either too qqualified/not qualified enough to sell make-up part-time at Macy's.
Um. I was a make-up artist at Lancome, and worked at Victoria's Secret and Starbucks.
Dudes, yeah I have a MA. I still have freaking fingers. Seriously -- I just need a PT job. I'm not going to infect anyone with my academic cooties.
I hope the Tooth Fairy gig comes through. They wanted an ex-teacher, so they shouldn't be surprised that I have *gasp* graduate degrees.
Maria, I am so jazzed by you almost-ex company's decision. I hope this is a game-changer for you.
I am writing on the deck of my folks' proch, and damn, there's a glare.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wait, floods took out a banana crop? How does that happen, short of actually killing the trees (which I assume would make the next several years banana-free ones as well)?
The floods did in fact destroy, by the estimates I've seen, 90% of Australia's banana plantations. It takes about nine months for a new banana plant to start producing fruit, IIRC.
