Timelies all!
Congrats Maria!
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

I love the tone of the last line of this craigslist posting. Just awesome.

There have been actual cases of siblings-separated-at-birth getting together unknowingly, even getting married and having kids before finding out, but as the emotional process of siblinghood never took place, it's not a relationship that comes out of dysfunction. And if the siblings come from a favorable genetic background (ie no bad recessive genes) it won't hurt one generation's worth of offspring.

Oh, ita, I'm so sorry. St. John's is probably closer than Cedars. We've always had good experiences at Cedars PICU but the transport there is a bear.
Maria, congratulations! Exuberance is definitely in order.
I have gone swimming twice today and my skin and hair are definitely feeling it. Any suggestions other than Ultra Swim on managing this?
Also, random question, how do voices change when we age? Is it a slakening of vocal cords?

Discussing potential dates for a possible commissioned holiday workshop, and find out that they want the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Um, going to out of town for travel to my parents?!?
Coworker gave me grief about not having my vacation dates on the work calendar yet. Oh so sorry that, with the lack of DoH, I haven't made any official plans for November and would like to do the polite thing and coordinate days off with new colleague.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, le nubian, that was great. "No offense to you personally"
You guys, I can't stop pickling. Even though I have a store-bought jar of pickled jalapenos in the fridge already, I traded for more peppers at the CSA pickup tonight, so could PICKLE THEM.

Jesse,
don't you think the person who wrote that is around 21? Like I'm really hearing a 21-year-old say that shit. Maybe younger.

How do you pickle peppers? I am on a pickling frenzy, but have just done zuccini and beets. Is this regular green peppers, or do they have to be little peppers?

That shit is going to give me nightmares.
I have just started following Awkward Years Project on tumblr [link] which is oddly lovely.
