I mean, I have read about the 10,000 hours Malcolm Gladwell thing, but he doesn't really tell you when the clock starts, either. If it starts when I was five, or eight, when I started to make stuff up, I'm covered, but maybe not if we think about writing *professionally*. I just don't want to be the woman who got published in one famous magazine and never got over it, either.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm pretty sure my lungs hate Pennsylvania. After a week in Hawaii, where I was coughing some but definitely coughing less, I'm back to the gagging wheeze/cough now that I'm back in PA. So, back to the doctor tomorrow.
Now that I think about it, the places where I've had the least trouble breathing have all been desert-y places next to an ocean. Though I haven't spent much time in desert-y places not next to oceans, so I can't really say if the ocean is part of the breathing. The ocean is certainly nice, though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Vortex, they do charge a discounted rate, but I am used to my other hospital charging nothing when you have a plate.
I've been up all night with terrible stomach ick, probably from all of the antibiotics I've been on. My stomach seems to be finally settling down, but I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight.

Hil, for me the ocean definitely helps with both my lungs and with my allergies. I was feeling much better by the ocean last weekend than I do now that I'm home.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have not read this, but the description cracks me up: An erotic novel about Clippy
Christie Aackerlund doesn’t need help with anything. So when the world’s biggest technology company offers to fly her to a remote location and investigate an alien artifact, all by herself, she’s all like “I’ll do it!”
But the artifact isn’t what it seems, and soon an overly helpful giant living paperclip is getting her all bent out of shape.

Ha!
I'm a little better this morning, and I managed about 6 hours sleep, which was more than I was expecting to get.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So, you have to read the Tetris blocks one first, cause Conquered by Clippy is story two in a series.

Man, my porn habits killed the thread.
