Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

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

If anyone is in my house, I'll know it because my cats will be hiding instead of coming to greet me. This is the extent of their usefulness as home protectors.

I also use the cats as ghost radar. When I get freaked out by a movie or my own imagination, I look at the cats, and if they're calm, there are no ghosts in the area. Very effective.

Ah, new thread. But I still say Chuck Norris only wishes he was Werner Herzog.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

If someone were in my house, I'd go back outside. But sans that option, there happens to be a pickaxe right inside the door this week, because the basement flooded, and we've got weird stuff all over the house right now.

Normally, I guess, I'd step out the door and load a couple of loose bricks inside a purse hanging off the coathooks. Right now, I have a purse Fay gave me as a Secret Santa present, so it'd be a Bloody Buffista Bludgeoning! Or I would throw shoes and the metal bookase serving as a shoe rack at him/her.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just remembered that I have my tool bag under the phone table in the entry. There are a couple of wrenches and a pretty wicked looking rope knife in there. [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

TNG may be a weenie, but she's a GSD and she barks at everyone.

They have big, big woofs. Even when actually weenies.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

When did we start calling robberies home invasions?

My understanding is like Consuela's, home invasions are when there is someone in the house while it is being robbed. Creepy.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm grateful that Zoe went so berserk and noisy when someone did try the door. Good to know. A coworker of mine woke one morning to find that her purse and wedding rings were stolen from the nightstand right next to her head while she slept. Her dog never made a sound. Someone had slit the screen door from the patio right outside her bedroom and come in her unlocked sliding glass doors. Ick. She and her husband were more than a little freaked out.

Timelies, or Timelines all. May Tuesday be a whole lot nicer than Monday.

Grace has follow up surgery today and I have a board meeting where they are going to announce Teacher of Year stuff. There is also a union action at the school district headquarters and performance of student musicians. So there will be no parking. And I have to be dressed up. ugh.

Ah, another calm, relaxing, and routine day. My you be on the other side of it before you notice.

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

Good luck, Kat.
