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

I have had good luck with Overstock, but it's hit or miss so it takes a few visits.

My last jewellery purchase from Overstock involved me sending back one earring, demanding a full refund, and getting it (I'd still rather have the earring--they were cute--don't seem to still be for sale though--nice spare, almost abstract representation).

I have never before had a French hook earring work itself out and somehow get so much air that I can't find where it went, even though I could feel it leave my ear. Also, the dragonfly pendants both came off the hook itself.

I'm a little grumpy at them, but pleased with the customer service.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Luckily, both Gary and I are baseball fans. (Even if he jokes that we're in a mixed marriage- he's an Orioles fan and I'm a Yankees fan. We both cheer for the Nationals, though, so things are happy here. :))

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Amazon's another spot for jewelry-- and maybe figuring out keywords.

And then for some actual rules he doesn't believe me.

The infield fly rule and the pitcher's balk?

Ahahaha, yes! Also, he thinks the consequences for HBP should be more than just taking first base. Like, the batter should get to punch the pitcher, so that they're both in pain.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I had no idea that the half-blood prince had anything to do with baseball. The game is clearly more complex than I realised.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I prefer baseball to football, because I can understand it better, but these rules are confusing to me. Still, probably less confusing than downs.

I don't know if anyone is watching The New Normal, but I decided to give it a try because one of the stars was on Terry Gross, and I liked him. Still not sure if I like it, but the little girl's Little Edie imitation is ADORABLE and spot-on.

I have an image in my head of the kind of thing I want,but don't know how that would relate to actual words.

Practice your search terms here, then.

Well, sometimes the pitcher for the batter's team inflicts the pain and sometimes there's a bench-clearing brawl.
