If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

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

Exciting!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ahahahaha - I was almost afraid to open this thread because there were so many new messages this morning, I was afraid we'd gotten into some kind of horrible Nelson Mandela flame war. But no, just a Sound of Music watch-n-snark.

Speaking of which, this made me think of us.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hulu has the musical numbers from Sound of Music, so I'm getting to see the ones I missed. The orchestra is way too loud.

Fuck cancer with a crowbar. My ARP co-chair has thyroid cancer and is having her thyroid removed next month. She has told a total of 3 people, including me. I just....crap.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Go Gracie! I hope her stamina builds fast. She's such an amazing kid.

Went to big party at the president of the uni's house yesterday. It was pretty fun. Good meal anyway.

I'm booking work trips to NYC and Expedia keeps giving me a car rental offer. I'm going to Manhattan, Expedia. I have a MetroCard in my wallet.

My lunch was so tasty, I have to brag about it, even though it wasn't very complicated. Scrambled eggs with sliced turkey, onions, and mushrooms (and a little bacon salt), with whole-grain toast and apricot jam.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My ARP co-chair has thyroid cancer and is having her thyroid removed next month.

Oh, geez, Suzi, I'm sorry. FWIW, one of my co-workers had her thyroid removed a few years ago, and she is doing fine. I hope your co-worker does as well.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The first person I thought of when I heard about Nelson Mandela was ita. I hope she's doing OK today. I'm pretty sad.

I may have shared this here before, but when I was living in Cape Town in 2002, some friends and I went to hear Chinua Achebe speak on campus (University of Cape Town) one night. It was a big but not huge hall, tickets were free to students, and the place was pretty packed. We were in our seats and waiting for the event to start when we became aware of something happening up at the front of the hall and a ripple going through the crowd. Nelson Mandela had entered the hall and was taking a seat in the front row, and people in the hall just went crazy. Clapping, crying, shouting, gasping, standing on chairs, stomping -- everyone in that place just loved him and admired him so much. It was an amazing moment, to be in the presence of greatness and to be caught up in the emotion of all the people there. He meant so much to so many.
