I think many people work their asses off. However, a women with a couple of Cadillacs and an indeterminate number of horses doesn't have to.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think of her as around 40
Yeah, I getcha (although I think of GA as, I dunno, 28. Cursed X-files, burning yourselves into my visual memory!!)
I definitely have a mental Hollywood-Havisham who's about 80, which doesn't come from the text at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait, Gillian Anderson is old enough to play Miss Havisham?
She does have white hair in the role, which makes her hard to pin down, age-wise.
But, depending on how old she was when she was engaged and how long after she was...disappointed she decided to adopt Estella, she could be late thirties/early forties at the start of the story pretty easily, I think.
But also this. Spinsters were young! And also old, obviously.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
However, a women with a couple of Cadillacs and an indeterminate number of horses doesn't have to.
I wasn't talking about Anne Romney, and I guess I should have made that clearer, though I did assume most people wouldn't think I was rushing to her defense.
I meant the average SAHM, the one without a staff at her disposal, works her ass off. And the average mother who works outside the home also works her ass off.
It seems like stating that one of those groups works harder than the other could have a divide-and-conquer effect, which seems like political gamesmanship.

Ok, Gillian Anderson has small sons named Oscar and Felix. It's like The Odd Couple in her house, except with 5 and 3 year olds! (Seriously?!)

I do wish we could focus on the class warfare....

Yeah, Jessica's line about Ann Romney not knowing how many horses she owns is pretty killer.
Oh, wait, you mean how the GOP is engaged in class warfare? Yeah, that too. Erm.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I know someone who named her first child - a son - Calvin. And then when her second child -a daughter - was born he husband had to talk her out of naming her Hobbes. Seriously!
