It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All good thoughts for your sister, beth.
And for your mom, and for you, Anne.
I've been internet-less since Sunday, so, catching up everywhere.

DH and I used Airbnb when we went to London for his brother's wedding - it was a lot cheaper than a hotel, in a great neighborhood with a 24-hour Tesco and a tube stop down at the end of the block, and the kids had their own room to sleep in. Wins all around!

I've done VRBO with minimal problems. Some of the AirBnB I've heard about is pretty sketch, like the woman in Italy who it turns out didn't get a room of her own, and the owner of the flat expected her to sleep with him. But I think that's pretty rare, and down at the low low end of the scale.

I have Edwardian Farm on DVD! I'm watching it as I clean the living room! I've just ordered pizza and am looking forward to eating it in a cleaner living room as I watch.

(which David might not believe, since he moved our luggage from the rental apartment to his place our last day)
Well, I appreciate that your husband has special wardrobe needs on his honeymoon.
but most people can still tell when I'm flinching away from one.
I've gotten both the JesseFlinch and the JesseHug, though mostly I remember the look of absolute New Yorker Alarm when I ran up to you on the street as we converged on our way to msbelle's.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, OK, not actually a stranger, but STILL.
The other week, I ran into a friend and his daughter outside the supermarket, and it was hilarious watching him try not to look at the stranger approaching them inappropriately until he finally had to see it was me.

It was a total breach of NYC etiquette. Lucky I didn't get pepper sprayed.

Anne, I'm glad your mom has you.
I'm way too excited that my resentmentcation means I'll likely be home when my new sidewalk is wet so I can 'personalize' it. Discreetly. You know there's gonna be a cat. I might also be picking up some sparkly sand, just for a wee space. Or maybe a string or two of glass tiles to embed...
I've got a todo list. Will make up a schedule this weekend. I'm hoping to get some projects done, but also boxes out of the house. And added to. I'm doing some culling. I hope.
