'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Uh, I'm pretty sure it's Christmas that falls during Hanukkah, technically. What with the 8 nights and all.
D and I are atheist/agnostic family! I get cred for ANY holiday decos, much TWO religious holidays I have no spiritual connection to!

Oh wow. Trench Bridge, A Pedestrian Bridge Below Water Level
The Trench Bridge by Dutch architecture firm RO&AD is a pedestrian bridge that is almost entirely below water level. The bridge allows visitors to access Fort de Roovere, a 17th century Dutch fortification surrounded by a water-filled moat.
Good lord. I just commented to a co-worker on his weight loss. As I said it, I realised that should be off-limits, so I followed up by saying "Oh my god, you're not dying of anything awful, are you?"
Because that fixes things.
At which point I said "I mean, is it on purpose and a good thing?" to which he said "Yes, I'm working very hard at it." So it was alright. But, jesus. Way to not speak in public.
not for mandatory salary reimbursement for time lost due to jury service.
Oh, right. I can see that being done on a state by state basis (MA demands the first three days if it goes on that long; afterwards the court reimburses in some capacity).

Phew! I hate it when I become the person who says those things. When I rant about "What kind of person would SAY those things?!?!?!?!?!?!??!"

Exactly! And then you're three words into the sentence, and... shit. There's no way out.
I'm kind of pissed off. Andrew Sullivan just printed a letter I wrote (in part) and then wrote that I (with the others he printed) was going to lengths to excuse the witness in the Sandusky case.
Which I clearly was not. Unless he's just referring to the letter below mine, in which case, I'm confused.
Oo Allyson, that kind of thing happened to me before. As in, had a letter printed in Andrew Sullivan's blog in which he clearly sets up the letter by misreading or misunderstanding my intention. And then when you write to clarify his mistake? That letter he doesn't post.

I think Andrew does that a lot--where he prints several letters and then responds to the last one.
eta: Oops, I just read his last comment. Yeah, he's talking about all the writers.
