In continuing crappy news today, I just read that Alyson Hannigan has been receiving death threats.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Gavin de Becker would say all famous people have somebody like that. Like it's more like "Which one?" But I'm sorry she's scared and hope she has someone like de Becker on her side.(and not only because he's practically a Larry Stu and incredible gun-control advocate)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Do I continue to wait for Fedex to deliver the "surprise" Valentine's Day present from DH, or do I go home and hope it wasn't perishable and that I'll get it tomorrow?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Heading to Boston for Boskone tomorrow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I grew up in the boonies, and a good coonhound was a sign of a "wealthy" man. And they ARE pricey. And were often treated better than many neighbors' wife and/or kids.
And used for...raccoon hunting. So I don't even hear the racial slur in there; I grew up on coon chili. Again, made from raccoon.

Trust my rage
Jessica, how sad will he be that you didn't wait? Personally, I hate waiting and would be much happier the next day.

Was it that or was it the redbone part that was in question?
ETA: either case, I think it's fine. But there are a couple of potentially problematic terms in there, if you didn't know the context.

Well shit. My mom was trying to call me tonight so my sisters had to tell her I was in Ireland. Now she wants to call me...but my phone isn't working and it's after 11 here, so I can't really have her call the B&B.
I pobably shoudl have told her before I left, but I was hoping to save her the worry. I was about to send her an email saying I was gone for a long weekend. I just hope getting home isn't the hassle that getting her was or she will lose it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Sue. Can you email her now and say you'll talk to her tomorrow?
Was it that or was it the redbone part that was in question?
Both parts! I can totally imagine myself saying, "He's a....racoon hunting breed." because I'm like that sometimes.

Our wings are not tired.
I am sorry, Sue. I mean, delighted that you finally got to Ireland after all the flight issues, but sorry that your fears about your mother calling are realized. I hope your sisters are able to assure her of your safe travels.
Heading to Boston for Boskone tomorrow.
I had to Google, but that really sounds like fun, as do many of your adventures!
