"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I covet magnetic induction stoves like whoa. But I love my gas stove (and seriously, woodstove) in the meanwhile. I've got the kettle on the boil on the woodstove right now and it's fucking great.

All of my recent (expensive!) pots & pans purchases have been with the intent of being able to use them if we're eventually able to go to induction. Which has led to some sitcom level comedy wherein I march into discount kitchen stores with a magnet and open boxes. But seriously, man, that's a lot of money. I want them to work forevah.

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

Words with Friends wouldn't let me play "slut." I'm a bit offended.

Also, Typo, I would err to the higher title, so I'd probably say Dr.

Not to dis Pete, but your DAD just set a pretty high bar for adorable.

Oh, not a dis on Pete at all. My Dad is pretty much the gold standard for wacky & adorable. And he raised me to be his revenge upon the world!

If Dr. Steiglitz is American, go with Dr. If he's not, it's more complicated.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This is what I have. It's neat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is a reasonable rule of thumb. In America anyone can open a university and declare a whole new group of folks "professors," so the academic qualification is more important than the job title. In many European countries the number of Professors is fixed by law, and you have to have a long successful career to obtain a position with that title. In that case the position is more presigious than the academic qualification.

In Jamaica, Marcia is pronounced mar-see-ya, and if you want to be called mar-sha, you should spell your name Marsha. I'm still not over that assumption.

OMG, I am never going to understand this project.

The first Marcia I ever met (she and her husband were friends of my parents) was Jamaican, and it screwed me up for the Americanized version.
