Why is an old woman giving you a thong gift???
meara, that is exactly my question! I mean, she usually gives me magazines, which I appreciate and love. But a thong?! Plus, I have been swimming and lockering with her every week day and many Saturdays since July. I have never worn a thong in that time!
Also, I had to help her dispense mousse today because the new canister she had was too hard to use.
There's something completely lovely and haunting about the frailty of my Y friends, who are all 30 years older than I am.
I have never worn a thong in that time!
I think that might be your clue right there.
Maybe she has really strong feels about VPLs?
I've gotten sexy bras from the mom and sister, because bras I wear are pricey, and I will say "I want X bra in Y size and Z color for Xmas."
Only good girlfriends attended my bachelorette, so I got pretty underwear and a salad bowl.
Heh.
I love my M-W-F aqua aerobics ladies. I'm finishing about when they start, but they always heckle me and if I finish early enough, we catch up before their class starts. They've been known to make the guards keep a lane until I'm done (normally goes down from 3 to 2) if it is crowded. (They have no compunction about invoking circle swim once I pop out, I've noticed.)
I know all about all their surgeries and kids and grandkids...
IO9 ran a "fanfic friday" for a while in which one of their regular commenters ripped a random fanfic to shreds. There was a weak disclaimer saying he likes some fanfics, this is just a bad one.
I remember that one. Annalee really didn't want to stop that feature but when she did I felt obliged to send her a supportive note. It was a quandry for her.
McAuliffe wins in Virginia. Take that, Tea Party!
Here is why I weight gender in voting: Generally, the candidates for City Council seemed fine, with varying emphases on issues I care more or less about, but none of the ones I knew anything about seemed crazy or bad. As it turned out, one woman got voted off the council after two more didn't run for re-election, and four men got added, leaving just one woman on the City Council. That is not right!
It's funny, though, I bet at least one of the incumbent was voted out by accident, with the preferential voting. It certainly happened to me, where I ended up ranking one of them much lower than I meant to, but didn't care enough to re-do the whole ballot.
Woke up vaguely hearing sirens, but they sounded distant, so I was pretty surprised to find an ambulance and a fire truck in my cul-de-sac when I got to the front door. Not enough activity to tell which house they were at much less what was going on. I hope everyone down at that end of the street is okay.
I think I have met my excitement quota.
