Tara ,'Empty Places'
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.
I guess it's like the Hortense or whatever of Haiti -- not just an old lady name, but an unattractive old lady name!
Hah! Oh, that's pretty funny (but kind of sad. but mostly funny!)
I feel like slippers are a slightly weird (warm) gift in August, but I may have to get one of those Dr. Who things for my old roommate, whose birthday is in a couple weeks...
Thanks, guys. I'm apparently scheduled for another interview on Friday for a company I don't remember applying for, and and I'm trying to subtly find out more about it--no dice.
Oh funny.
My god today is dragging. I've got another 4 hours to go. Blah.

That happened to me a bunch of times, ita. Including, I think, my current company.

Huh, I'm almost always barefoot (SoCal), so I only associate them with emotional warmth. But you probably have a point. Well, I'm just throwing out suggestions (because I'm a Helper, not Avoiding Work. Nope, that's not it at all.)

Difference between ita and me? She makes this look good.
Turns out Xyla is a Greek name meaning "Of the wooded land".
Of course, I learned this via someone correcting her father who said he believed it was a made up name. Hilarious.

My nephew has a daughter named Azlyn (but doesn't play scrabble that I'm aware of). He said he knew a girl in HS with the name, but they changed the spelling, so I'm pretty sure it's a corruption of the Irish name Aisling.
I'm pretty sure in this case it just means it was the mom's pick.
Are they pronouncing it Hi-la? I need my Greek speaking uncle here to help me a bit, but the X at the beginning should sound like an H, I think.
Then again, we mispronounce my K's Greek name on purpose, so don't listen to me.
Oh, where's Sox: speaking of our Greek speaking uncle. When K saw him this time she said, "He looks like Grandpa but he talks a lot more."
