You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Ah, I was trung to figure that out, but Susan W's husband makes sense! I forget she's in Seattle since I don't ever see her in person.

Go Hil! (I admit, I felt like a Google genius when I got ita's quote as the top hit in my first attempt at a search.)

I got a call to come in for a second interview with the library director next Monday, for the job I interviewed for yesterday. So, that's good. Does it change anything about my thank-you notes, which were going to go out tomorrow? (Last time I had an interview they offered me the job the next day, so I never sent a note.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Whoa. This is totally bizarre. Ancestry.com just posted the 1915 New York state census, and I was looking to find my great-grandfather's brother, because I've got a weird gap in records for his family between 1910 and 1925. Well, I found them, with the name transcribed only a little wrong. They were living in a house with two other families. One of those other families is also related to me, but not to them. The two people who would marry, linking the two families, wouldn't be born for another five years, and I've heard their "how we met" story, and it's not "Her parents and his uncle used to share a house."

Yay flea! I would say that you could send thank-you notes to anyone you met with yesterday, and if you think you'll see them next week, mention that you look forward to doing so.

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

What were your search terms! I had tried about five searches before I got here, and none of them had sources or were actually that one. Just mishmash.

OMFG. The final battle in Angel was not a fatal one! None of them died onscreen! Even if you want to ignore the comics as being canon, THEY DIDN'T DIE IN THE SHOW (Wes having died earlier, Fred moreso).

It can't be the whole point of the show that they die if Joss says they didn't, can it? Or, I mean, if it is the whole point, you accept that it's your whole point, and everyone else is as welcome to their own points as you are.

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

though her shock at diluted bleach baths is a bit weird. I mean, diluted, not straight-up, it's been recommended lately by mainstream doctors to treat eczema. But thats external, not internal!!

If the treatment they're talking about is MMS, it's not diluted nearly enough to be safe. People who work with it in industrial settings wear protective gloves and gas masks. (I suppose you could dilute it enough to make a relatively safe bath, but the treatments being advocated at the Autism One conference are not that.)

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

Good lawd, I thought I'd heard all the cool names in this year's baseball draft (Styker Trahan, Skye Bolt, Damien Magnifico) but now that we're getting into the lower rounds I'm discovering names like Goose Kallunki, Brock Dykxhoorn (which somebody noted sounds like a Dutch porn star), and Zebulon Sneed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Zebulon Sneed

Sounds like a Roald Dahl villain.
