He needs a webbing belt. Or a rope belt. Any of these would suffice: [link]

His shorts could be Nantucket red WITH Hil's suggestion of embroidered whales. But then it is a very fine line between preppy and Chuck Bass dandy.

His shorts could be PATCHWORK PLAID. (My dad has a pair.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Man, I used up all my productivity buying pet food and helping my dad get a new phone and set it up. I don't think I can make myself do laundry tonight. I think I can get through tomorrow okay with the clean clothes I have?

I hope things are calming down in your office, le n, yikes!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I did lots and lots of laundry but as usual, the putting away part defeated me, so now I am in the hammock watching one dove bullying all the other birds that want to use my feeders

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

Guys, I'm staying in a hotel and I have an app that controls the TV from my ipad! I'm never going home again.

Really? The doves in my yard never go up to the feeders, they just eat on the ground.

One of the many things I have to do to make my backyard an oasis of relaxation (this is a big goal of mine, if I haven't mentioned it) is figure out some way to get some shade onto my hammock. I can only stay out there for short periods of time with it in full sun, and there is not a lot of shade anywhere in my yard. Well, nowhere that is presently accessible, anyway. It's possible that beating back the blackberry bushes will help with the shade issue.

Eta: Nice one, bon!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

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

Do you guys who do laundry outside of your immediate home (e.g. laundrette or laundry room) fold before you put them in your basket or whatever else you're moving them in? Do you find this affects how soon you put them up?

I ask, looking at a carrier full of folded clothes in my living room.
