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.

Hi vw! Yes, I find coloring soothing too. It is very helpful to have the abundance of loving family companionship. I understand where your FIL was coming from. People that love you and Lloyd want to do something, anything, to feel useful.

eta: why does your so often end up you?

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

I'm glad you have supportive people, vw.

I am so furious with Comcast right now that I'm about ready to sign usup for DSL. Or I would, if I had a working phone or internet.

Tales of the public library: My coworker just fielded the following question at the desk: "Do you have any books on how to open a strip club?" (We do not. But we have a lot of books on starting a business in general, as well as classes.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

"Do you have any books on how to open a strip club?" (We do not.

I don't even know WHY I have a library card!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Second trip to the kosher supermarket yielded the things I couldn't find on the first trip. (Also helps, that it wasn't insanely crowded like it was on Sunday.)

Popularity of last letter in boys’ names.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Huh. Out of spouse, stepson, brothers, BIL, father, uncles, cousins and nephews (a pretty large crowd when you add them all up), I have exactly two male relations with that last letter.

I married one and have a son with the same name, so contributing to the popularity apparently. As did my father and brother.

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

My nephew is, I think, my only male relative with that last letter.

I just used set theory at work! Didn't call it that, but in my head I knew.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have two brothers, two cousins, two nephews and one son whose name ends in n. Though only one of them seems to fit the trend described (there's a nephew Aiden, the others all have names that peaked at least 30 years ago).
