I know I've seen Sandi Toskvig, and even so I still have very little idea of who she is.

You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's back!
I've decided to sell my mineral rights. I did research into natural gas futures, and there is currently a glut in the market. The current leaseholders can't pay royalties till they start to drill, and they haven't even applied for a permit to drill, and that takes nearly a year to finalize. I suspect they're delaying till the market turns in their favor, however long that may be. My sister, who holds the other half of my branch of the family's share, is holding out for royalties, probably in hopes of decent future income. I haven't the heart to tell her that the stories I've found show that the companies pay as little as they can manage, citing the costs of production and market vagaries. I have hinted about uncertainties, but she brushes them off. She's as smart as I am, and I don't know her financial status. She may be able to absorb the uncertainties.
Me, I want to pay off my credit cards, put a chunk of money into an account that will actually pay interest, and have a largish cushion in case my car decides to have another major part fail (I'm going to need new shock absorbers soon). If it was a declared, fixed amount that I could expect in royalties, I'd keep the rights, but the mineral rights game is way too murky for my comfort.

Uhg, install day. 10 hours and no swim because no lanes from 6:30 until 8:30 and I got home at 6. And I don't want to swim that late.
I'm just tired. Dyeing my hair, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Connie, that sounds like a very reasonable decision.
The new GBBO ought to be interesting. Suddenly I feel like watching British quiz shows all night.

The one Iranian restaurant I tried was awful, but I assume it was that specific restaurant since all the other Middle Eastern food I've eaten was delicious. How do you make lamb shishkabobs taste bad?

I ate at a Persian restaurant in San Diego once that was terrible. The only thing I could eat was the cucumber dill yogurt dish, which, granted, was delicious. But yeah - how do you mess up lamb shishkabobs?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Complete change of topic, but, people who buy dresses, where are the good places to look at for dresses?
If someone were to be, you know, looking for a dress...for Reasons...and is perfectly capable of making her own lace and very long dresses do not go well with beach weddings...I mean...yeah...so not necessarily the places all the people go look.

Happy Reasons! You can make lace? What kind?

Someone who might want a beach wedding dress (for instance) might want to look at eShakti. Are you looking for white, or another color/pattern?
