Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well I would say that any nice folk from over there should be linked up to us for a place to snark and carry on, but THAT MIGHT MEAN NEW PEOPLE and I get askeered.

Because books.

Ugh, I'm so sorry, Jessica.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sorry, Jessica. I hope he gets picked up by NBC/Universal somewhere soon.

I'm sorry, Jessica.

Oh no, Jessica.

I have a 90-minute class to teach at 1:30 to Master's students in Arts Administration about grants. Which would be fine, except I have developed a head cold and right now my nose is running so much it will be really embarrassing to be in front of them. And my brain is really fuzzy because of all the snot taking over my head. I need to feel at least a little better VERY SOON.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

My gastritis seems to be easing up noticeably -- I had a good talk with the substitute doctor where I expressed some skepticism that they were sending me to an OTC remedy for something that seemed so serious, but she pointed out that the stuff only came off prescription recently.

And then she further explained (which is what I really needed to know) that what they were doing is "diagnosis by treatment" -- that, given that the blood and other tests they've done have eliminated a ton of nasty stuff, if the Prilosec works, they know what it was and we're spared a bunch of even more expensive tests....

Oh crap -- the TWOP shutdown is hitting too close to home!

Allyson, I didn't ever go to the Hoarders discussion over there, as I didn't even know about it. Damn....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, they're closing down TWOP.

Wow -- sorry to Jess's DH and Cindy! I wonder what kind of hiring Previously.tv (the new site from the MBTV founders) could do.

Interesting.

msbelle, I love that dress.
