Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

Danica McKellar is in the elite group of child stars who grew up good

Statistically speaking, I bet most of them grew up pretty well, just not in the biz any more. Just because you aren't making headlines anymore doesn't mean you aren't good.

I see your jury waiting room and raise you an ER waiting room.

I vote with ita ! It's not much of a contest, though, because my county has redone its jury waiting room to be full of comfy chairs and books from the county library.

re: mountain lion.

That's a Maine Coon, they don't think they're little. I'm sure Zeus figured it would be a fair fight.

A Maine Coon cat certainly try to take down a mountain lion. That's why my Maine Coon cost me more in vet bills than any other pet.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I catsat a Maine Coon once for a co-worker. That cat was the a real armful, which I was reminded of repeatedly. Once she emerged from her hiding spot in my closet after staying there for four days, she realized I was a soft touch for petting and would stay curled up in my arm for hours on end while I scratched her head and neck until my arm went numb. She would just drool and drool, and purr and purr, and then when I would finally put her down because my arm was so stiff, she'd want back up immediately.

Lattice Multiplication

I've never heard of that. Now I will go check it out, because I bookmarked both of the mathy site links.

Black sequined (big, clear ones, so not super sparkly) mini with black tights, black heeled boots, black turtle neck, and a red box purse. Huh. It doesn't look bad, but I'm not sure I would have gone for black sequined skirt during the day. I'm people watching (or judging, I guess. Tsk, tsk) in Starbucks.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ok, Jess, I'll try it like that. Do you use warm water?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ok, Jess, I'll try it like that. Do you use warm water?

I wash clothes on warm, towels/diapers on hot. I get 3-4 loads out of each bag of nuts.

Because books.

Warm water reminded me -- I know a lot of people here use neti pots, but I've never gotten the hang of them. Has anyone used a sinus rinse (in a bottle)? A woman in Denver told me about them, and said they're great. Thoughts?

Someone just brought up Seth Green on the conference call. Of course, this is the same guy who said "You said 'touch' and 'but' in the same sentence." so I'm not sure it's a vote for anything good.

On another project they switched out the overall business analyst, which is a good thing, since he was useless, but he completely didn't tell me. He kept discussing the project with me like he was still on it, or something, when in reality he'd been off it for at least a couple of days. In reality, I think he looks worse now, with the pretending to still be attached.
