Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter  

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

Ann, that's a ferret.

Nice to know cheesy 70s horror thriller stuff still has an impact.

If you ever run across it, check out When Michael Calls. Not quite as cheesy (unless you count the '70s decor and fashions -- remember looooooong stocking hats?), and you'll probably figure everything out before it's half over, but definitely an impact. Especially at the climax.

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

I am sitting in the parking garage at my office because I drove an hour in the fog to get here then realized I left my computer at home.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Meeting people angry. Just got reminder of dentist appt today, which gets me out of another angry meeting. Woohoo?

When dental appointments are preferable to work you may have a suboptimal work environment.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What I am not saying Elsewhere: Seriously people, if Set A includes Subsets B, C, and, E, complaints about lack of access to Subset B because access to Subset B seems important are no slap in the face to those who have labored to create Subsets C and E. Also, if a reader mistakes complaints about lack of Subset B as somehow indicative that subset E is nonexistant, the flaw in the argument is not that of the author but of the reader.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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

BTDT, Sophia.

Although I'm now picturing you stir frying (to I Go To Work. Because) and the inside-outness is like a statement.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Ginger, an antique dealer I know once was upset because someone wanted to buy an antique low dresser and cut a hole in the top to make it into a bathroom vanity with a sink.

And my mother once impulsively bought a desk because the dealer was planning to do a painting (I forget what kind, specifically, but it would have involved flowers and leaves) on the slant top.

People ...

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

And now I'm home. That was a lovely waste of time, gas, and tolls. At least I get to work from home today, due to my immense stupidity.

A big part of the reason we bought this house is the excellent shed with built in work table out back. Even as full of boxes as it is right now it's a pretty good workspace.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm finally caught up on Natter. I was just super-depressed for the last 10 or so days, which I think was related to ita. But I'm actually in a good mood at the moment, I think because of a simple conversation on FB with my Minneapolis friends--I saw some of them at a wedding party a few weeks ago, which was the first time I had seen them in years, and had been really cheered up to see them then too.

So maybe I need to get out more, and communicate more with folks.
