Yeah, mine required title insurance even though the building was only 7 years old (I suppose it maybe also covers the land back farther?) which seemed awfully expensive. But dang...

My sense is that title insurance may protect the loaning bank more than it protects the buyer, a la mortgage insurance. But I don't really know.

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

This doesn't bear mentioning anywhere other than this board, but when I said "Well, why don't you use some of your time off going to Haiti with Misha Collins?" I hadn't fully processed that this would make me self-immolate due to jealousy multiple times. How could I have not predicted that and protected myself appropriately?

Because books.

Seriously? You didn't think there was an outside chance...?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just made myself a total Dagwood of a sandwich with about nine ingredients and multiple condiments and it was soooooo good.

And then I realized that neither of my children would know what "Dagwood" referred to or why I would think of it in relation to a big sandwich.

"Blondie" is *still* running. I would suggest introducing your children to it, except that it is possibly the dullest comic still in commercial production. The history of "Blondie" on the other hand has a certain amount of interest. Did you know it started as a soap opera type comic, without much intentional humor, and was drawn in a more realistic (Rex Morgan M.D., Mary Worth) style?

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

Is The Lockhorns still being produced?

Family Circle is no longer?

You didn't think there was an outside chance...?

I thought a) he'd ignore me or b) I'd feel like I'd done something good for kids in Haiti and a couple slices of fandom.

I tried donating to the charity in question, and it didn't take away the sting. Maybe if I give again...

I'm a bad daughter, because I have no idea what "we" got my mother for her birthday, but the medical community and Lady Luck conspired to give her cancer-free CAT scans and blood tests, so I'm going have to say...I don't feel bad. BECAUSE I'M BUSY FEELING RELIEVED. I know I'll never relax about my mother and cancer again, but this is by far the best way I can feel about it. Let this clean blood test overflow and spill on to as many people as need it.

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

Let this clean blood test overflow and spill on to as many people as need it.

Wrod and amen.
