Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Birb is a cute cuddly, important and smart bird. A bird is ordinary, anybird. Birb is a friend, cheerleader, mentor, playmate, entertainer, and cuddle birb.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That almost makes me want to go back on Twitter.

I'm not really on Twitter, but I do read certain threads!

Thrive to spite them

Go msbelle I hope you have good luck.

I keep getting messaged by guys that either habe they want kids in their profile or talk about it after messaging me. I have it indicated 2x. Once where you could pick that and also in my profile.

I'm open to someone with kids but I'm not having kids.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I don't know if it' WORSE than writing an online dating profile, but self-evaluations at work are up there.

That's what I'm supposed to be doing now. That or other people's evaluations. Guess what I am not doing!!

On the upside, I got a nice compliment on an email I drafted for someone, and then he wrote back to correct "Jess" to "Jesse"! Which is probably because he has an oddly-spelled name himself, but I appreciated it.

OK, this is a minor issue, but I'd appreciate input from the hivemind. I rarely use a hair dryer - my hair is short and I usually let it air dry. However, sometimes I do need to use one. The one I had for years (and years) was a small Sunbeam - I think it may have been designed for travel, since it had a little button that you could use to switch voltages. Well, the little button popped off, the handle tended to separate and the last time I used it, I saw sparking inside through where the button had been. Not wanting to electrocute myself or short out the electricity, I dumped the dryer.

Now I need a new one. I've looked but I run into the fact that every new dryer I look at has one of those big plugs (can't remember what they're called) - they have a test/reset feature. I know it's a safety feature, but I live in an old building and the outlet in my bathroom (where I prefer to dry my hair) is in the light fixture over the mirror. It's close to the wall and I can't plug one of those big ones in there - the space between the wall and the light cover (the outlet is right between them) is too small.

Has anyone seen a hair dryer that has a plain, old two-prong plug?

I think in that situation, I've just used an extension cord.

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

My Curlmaster 1875 has a two-prong grounded plug (one plug is slightly larger than the other, but no reset button etc)

I love your dating profile, msbelle! I hope somebody fun and nice finds it.
