Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh. OH. Duh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh.

Yay for good dentists. Mine offered me $50 if I write him a good review on Yelp, because there are some bad ones up there, but I haven't had a problem....

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

If I reviewed my dentist on Yelp, I'd need an editor and sanity check. Because I get all anxiety ridden and have my mouth topically numbed for the cleaning and have my iPod playing soothing music (Danger Days!) and then a pretty, pretty man fixed my problem with only minimal freaky noises and no pain.

Given that Dr. G already smoking hot, I am kinda duckling imprinted on him right now and I think my eyes are just throbbing hearts. Or that's the allergies talking.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You are braver than I. I can see no good way to combine sharp implements in my mouth with the degree of bouncing around that is reliably prompted by "Planetary (GO!)".

Thrive to spite them

re: names of Mariah Carey's kids.

I read somewhere that Monroe is for Marilyn Monroe and Moroccan is for some architectural detail where Nick proposed to her.

I honestly skipped Planetary. Cause it's all bouncy and you have to bounce and that'd be ... bad.

But Sing is amazing when you are quelling fear. I went back to Sing for the bits that included grinding and polishing . Sing made me strong. Or made me not cry. Which translates to strong enough today.

Dr. Death Defying is also pretty soothing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Jilli, if it's not a ginormous PITA you may want to look at eBay for selling rare books. I've sold about a dozen rare books on there, and I got nearly as much for each individual book as I did for an entire box of similar rare books that I'd sold to a local bookstore about a year earlier.

It took ages - I photographed the hell out of every one, including the dents and warts, and researched fair market value and checked Amazon and ABEbooks.com and blah blah blah, probably 2-3 hours' work for each title - but the results were much, much better.

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

Tipping question:

Meal delivery tips: %age, or flat fee + degree of difficulty?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Another secondspin question: does the disk surface have to be absolutely pristine?

Not pristine, but you probably don't want to push it too far. They'll send back stuff if it doesn't meet their standards.
