Thrive to spite them

I'd try some saltines first and see how you do and if you can keep them down try a little bit of a banana.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I read that as VAGINA REEL and was all, uhh...for a moment. I mean, I hated PE classes, but that was mostly just because I never mastered trashtalking.

Because books.

The Vagina Reel is AP-level.

For me it was because I never mastered not getting hit in the face with the ball.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I liked the Virginia Reel! And watching Downton Abbey made me want to go line dancing or square dancing or whatever.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I also never mastered no getting hit in the face with the ball. I still haven't, although I have recently (like at 35) mastered catching something rather than ducking!

I had a secret love for the Virginia Reel and all square dancing. The only problem was the whole picking people, getting picked, etc-- that was awful. But once that was over, and especially if it was with friends, I had a ball! In fact, in high school a group of friends and I went square dancing regularly and it was SO MUCH FUN

Try contra dancing! Lots of fun and not too hard.

I have no bananas or saltines in the house. Was planning a whole "eat healthy with spinach and oranges and fish" thing (um, not all at the same time) Though after not eating other than brunch yesterday, I weighed myself this morning and the second number on the scale changed. Which was cool, if unsustainable.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I took tap dance as PE through high school. Except for 9th grade. I only remember basketball in 9th grade, but we probably did other things. In middle school I went to a tiny private school. We did handball, basketball, gymnastics, and fencing.

I didn't mind the square dancing -- I mean, it was better than getting beaned during bombardment -- but it's not exactly a *useful* skill. Knot-tying and climbing are practical!

Do you have any applesauce, meara? Even just plain toast might work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just did a reference call for one of my previous students for a faculty position. It was the shortest reference call I have ever done and the questions were terribly written. I don't know what this says about the institution, but I am mildly anxious.

Oh yeah, contra dancing. I'm afraid it would be yet another activity where I like the activity way more than the other people who do it, which is already true of all of my hobbies!

Do you have broth, meara? Or an egg? I feel like bland protein is good for what ails you. (Whatever ails you.)
