No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Happy, a little belated, birthday, Strix!

Much ~ma for Zoe.

My cheap car without a ton of miles alert went off on this morning. (We're not really looking for one anymore, but I haven't canceled the alert yet). If Em was actually planning to start driving now that she's 16, I'd be all over this one.

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

Hey, I have a query and a problem. I need to know what is appropriate to wear to my kiddos bar mitzvah, in the synagogue. Are capped sleeve acceptable or should they be at least elbow length sleeves? I understand that my skirt length should probably be about knee length? And do I have to wear a hat or scarf?

I'm trying to get everything in a row before October when we have the bar mitzvah in Pennsylvania.

Strix, it depends on the synogogue w/r/t sleeves. There's no requirement for women to cover their heads.

Monday. I hate you and all of your works.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Monday. I hate you and all of your works.

Yes.

This morning I've been all "Blah blah blah Monday blah blah stock market plummets blah blah..."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That would be a hilarious car to buy for a 16 year old!

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

This morning I've been all "Blah blah blah Monday blah blah stock market plummets blah blah..."

I sold almost all my individual stocks last week. Muwahahaha!

I can't even get into T. Rowe Price's website this morning. There must be a million people all freaking out at once.

Thanks, Sparky. I think I'll play it safe with sleeves, or wear a shrug or a cardigan. It'll be October, anyway.

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

Strix dress code depends on the synagogue - do you know whether its reform, conservative, orthodox, or what? That'll narrow down what the requirements probably are. If the synagogue has a website they'll probably list any dress code requirements there. I wouldn't worry too much - guests are usually cut some slack.

I was thinking I just needed more sleep but today I feel like maybe I'm actually coming down with something. Maybe I will go home and eat Jell-o on the couch.
