Scrappy - I live in Portland and would be happy to answer questions or find information for you - my profile addy is good (and I picked up and moved here from Texas about six years ago so I encourage the impulse!)

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 have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think Kaine just accused Trump of being in Hydra.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have such a viscerally negative stress response when people talk over each other. It's like my blood pressure goes up by the second.
Pence's hair is quite remarkable.

Me to, smonster. I can't stand it. Also, I am amused that my phone knows that smonster is a name and wants to capitalize it rather than trying to change it to another word.

I don't want the context, I don't want the actual quote; I'm just taking this as given, and it's AWESOME.

Didn't watch the debate and am fine with that choice.
The husband of a high school friend has posted in response to what I have said about Trump on FB. He always announces that he is posting as himself, but it's from her account (I find this strange). I wanted to be really nasty but dude, some facts for you. 1. I don't know you. 2. There's no way you are going to change my mind. 3. There's no reason to post shit on my wall because of 1 and 2.

Our wings are not tired.
This concludes the debate was my favorite part. Just bickering to my ears.

Man, I don't understand people who do that. Or people who share an email account.

My parents share an email account and it drives me crazy. I don't know which one e-mailed me.

Found out that one of the stresses my daughter has is that she is not feeling intelligent enough because of her brother. The problem is that this year, for the first time since lower elementary school, they are in the same school. So now she hears about him being so smart from her peers. We're going to have to work on that among other things. She's quite smart, it's just her brother is a genius who sort of leaves all of us in the dust. Reminds me of the scene in Firefly where Simon explains about his sister.
