not your mom's socks.

Burell, much ~ma to your MiL and to you and your family. Kate, much ~ma to M's grandmother and to your family.

I love the pants infographic.

While ita's in the jury pen, we should think of things for her to draw.

Also, I want an infographic for the following: Is _____ a secret Buffista? because I have my suspicions about a person I just met. Hiya, we just met, if you're out there.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Burrell and Kate, so much ~ma for your respective family members. Good thoughts are headed your way.

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

Ease to you, Burrell and Kate.

At least half this jury panel is in entertainment. I was the only one in IT. Man, LA.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm so sorry to hear that, Kate. Much strength and ~ma to you and your DH & family. I'm glad that you can get to see her. No flooding ~ma for the road trip.

My MiL seems so checked out right now, but I hear tell last night when she awoke, she looked up and saw C and broke into a huge smile. Makes me glad he was with her.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ease~ma for Kate and family as well.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Back in '90 or so, I saw the Madison, WI band Camel Toe perform. I didn't find out what the term meant until several years later.

I wonder if they stole that from Serial Mom (where L7 in very tight pants and, er, some enhancements, played a band called Camel Toe). Was it an all-woman band?

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

Was it an all-woman band?

No. All guys.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am reading vintage school sewing books.

Is this description (an exercise readying students for the thimble) basically flipping someone the bird?

3. Train a child to call that part of a thimble that rests on the back of
the finger the back of the thimble.

Practice in preparing the right hand for the use of the thimble :
Raise the right hand, hold the thumb and first finger in a horizontal position, while the second or thimble finger is held vertically ; then lay the first finger over the third and fourth, holding the three down to the palm with the thumb. This is a difficult exercise for untrained muscles, and the child should rest after four or five trials.
