but maybe with a tailored belt--no sash bow

The sash bow is putting me off, I agree.

Edit: Oh, wait! It's removable! Crap. Back in the game, dress...

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

One of the crazy people is posting on the cancer list. I won't point out how remarkably fact free the article [link] she linked to is. I won't point out....

A sample:

Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide (which our bodies continually create ), air pollution (ozone), tobacco smoke, most chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy and alcohol are among the more common and noteworthy free radicals in nature. Chemo and radiation are free radicals that work, hopefully, by killing more cancer cells than healthy cells. We are constantly “rusting” from within, just like a nail rusts outside. We can slow down this rusting with antioxidants, such as vitamin C and lipoic acid, but we cannot stop it completely.

I don't know about her, but I am not rusting from within.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

...we are all rusting from within.

No wait, that's Wall-ee, isn't it?

Well, I'm sold. I'm going to drink some WD-40 right now!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any URL containing the words "thetruthabout" must be in want of the facts.

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

I'm totally rusting from within. Tarnished in multiple ways. I don't buy that better to burn out than rust idea, btw. It's all oxidation.

Those dresses are really cute. I dig the flowers and the birds.

I'm totally neurotic about people that aren't me cleaning my house, I would have to not be there for it if it were ever to happen.

Genius, Jess.

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

Well, sure, oxidation happens inside cells continuously, and oxidation is what makes iron rust, but I wouldn't say we're rusting. When a cut apple turns brown, that's oxidization, but we don't call that rusting, either.

Besides, some oxidation is necessary; that chemical reaction is one way cells communicate and transfer chemicals across their membranes. You really wouldn't want to take enough antioxidants to stop all oxidation.

disclaimer: I am not a biochemist. Pretty sure I'm right about this, though.
