Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I am in a mall right now. Otherwise known as Hades. I still have yet to hear LDB. Does it count if you get past Xmas and hear it?

Owen's teacher got him an illustrated, kid-friendly graphic novel of Hamlet. She cleared it with me ahead of time and said he was the only one she'd give something like that to. He cracked it open as soon as he got home.

I'll be in the corner beaming. Forever.

Cash, if he likes history, Eve is adoring a series called Nathan Hale's Dangerous Tales. (There are so many good graphic novels for kids out there now; I have become a real evangelist of them at the kids' school. We have a graphic novel of Moby Dick!)

Oh, flea that is awesome! Owen asked for my copy of Moby Dick and started flipping through it. A good graphic version is what I've been looking for!!

This is the version we have - we got it at the whaling museum in New Bedford this summer. [link]

DAMMIT! I had an Etsy transaction go astray. I mailed the original package to their Etsy address. She contacted me two weeks later saying it hadn't arrived. I shipped another package immediately. It says it was delivered but the buyer says she didn't get it. If her Etsy address is not correct what obligation do I have? I'm already out a second item. I'll be damned if I'm mailing a third.

Refund her money, maybe, Cash?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

No refund if they were both delivered! She might be trying to scam you....did you have tracking on the shipments?

eta: and it's really HER responsibility to make sure her shipping address is correct.
