Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

I confess -- I am applying for that assistant job.

AND THE LURKERS SUPPORT ME IN EMAIL!

Actually, I am taking the sample edit tests for a line editor position with Samhain publishing, so wish me lurk. I'm venturing back into the freelancing fray -- slowly. I'm nervy about it, since I totally froze from depression shell-shock last time.

Was wondering why finger felt so hot for the past few hours. Bruised as fuck. I'm sure I did it in today's adventures, but I'm amazed I didn't notice until now. I'm way too good at this... (And really, how common is bruising the soft tissue between differing joints? I do it often.)

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

Re: sending nail polish through USPS (as discussed in Press briefly) --

As per USPS guidelines:

Examples of items that may be mailable but have specific restrictions…

Nail polish is on the list.

451.3

A2. Packaging and Marking: Screw caps with a minimum of one and one–half turns, soldering clips, or other effective means must be used to ensure a secure closure.

A3. Glass and other breakable containers more than 4 fluid ounces and any containers over 32 fluid ounces must be cushioned within a sealed, waterproof container such as a can or a plastic bag, and must be packed within a strong and securely sealed outer packaging.

So it looks like nail polish CAN be mailed, as long as appropriate precautions are taken.

FYI.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just lied flat out and said no when the postal employee asked me if I was mailing anything liquid, flammable, etc.

IIRC, when I got The Box, nothing had leaked, and everything was done up in Zip-loc bags and bubble-wrap anyway.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

So THAT's where all the bubble wrap went! dammit, no wonder we're always bruised!

Oh yeah, the packing was very well-done!

Oh, ffs, looks like I'll be on my fourth? Fifth? French press this year. I don't know what changed this year, but I'm breaking them with alarming frequency. Time to go stainless, I guess.

Plaster is dry! Will start sanding! As soon as I finish my coffee.

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

Lexan is also an option. I have a couple of plastic french presses, they're fine. (I just took a look at our Bonjour french presses and the only all stainless steel is $80! I'm sure I didn't pay anything like that much for the one I have)

It's raining!
