Late first-footing?
(Is the lead guy a brunet?)
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was taking the meara approach and treating today like the holiday it is - staying in my pajamas, giving myself a facial while watching Farscape, that sort of thing - but I decided I'd better go ahead and get this application ready to mail before I lose the transcripts that have to go with it. It's an application to take an exam to qualify for a job with the state that currently doesn't have openings near me but I hope might some day.
OMG it took me hours to get through it all and make sure I had the dates formatted correctly and didn't answer questions I wasn't supposed answer. Even getting the app and (sealed in their own envelopes, of course) transcripts stuffed into an envelope that I bought especially because it was supposed to be the right size was a chore and a half. So I am done, no more productivity today. More Farscape and maybe a cocktail.
Um, less all about me, I also love Burt&Virginia on Raising Hope.

GUESS WHO JUST CALLED ME??!!! MISS LOUISE!
She's alive, had just changed phones a year ago. She's doing well, still in the senior apartments downtown and loving it (she has a view of the harbor.) She's got a new great-grandbaby who she adores.
I am SO RELIEVED to hear from her! Told her I'm going to be calling now that I have her number.
Yay 2013!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is a great start to the year, sarameg! So great to hear! Life of Riley--great grandchildren! Totes amazing.
Browser question-- do ¹ and ⊃ look different to you? Browser/OS check with versions, plz. None of you are first-timers. You know the drill.
Bonus question: what do ¹ and &sup look like?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup". Firefox 17.0.1, Mac OS 10.6.8.

Different. iOS version of Safari, I suppose I can look up more detail if you need it.
Bonus question: first one looks like a footnote or exponent, second one doesn't appear to do anything.
