I miss you too quester!

I just read a bunch, but a long time ago I decided that I too can pee anywhere. I wear skirts, so I am covered when squatting. I don't actually pee anywhere, but on a hike or something, or in a bathroom, as long as no one is really staring at me, I'm good. As a costume person, I am possibly more comfortable than normal with seeing naked people.

Cindy, I am glad your son is home. I used to do theatre with a woman who had these issues and she had had to go home and live in her 20s, but in her 30s she was much better, although she never ate before a show.

I really want a conversation about Pose, so I am cross posting from Facebook

I am watching Pose, which I like and recommend, although it has all the pitfalls of a Ryan Murphy product, in that the moments and the concept are great, but the glue is a little confusing and not well executed

However, I ran into a really job specific thing that made me stop watching the first time- you can't just steal historical costumes and wear them! They won't fit. They will fall apart. They will look terrible, because clothes from Elizabethan times are not in great condition! I wanted so hard to believe they were stealing reproductions, but it was pretty clear they weren't. Also, to treat historical clothing by throwing it in garbage bags seems terrible! But you can hardly use 50s and 60s clothing for costumes because of these reasons, and also because they were designed to be worn with specific undergarments.

Hi quester! One of my friends just did RAGBRAI!

Today is much less eventful than yesterday's crazy float trip. Had book club (but there were only four of us and we talked about the book for all of 10 minutes, we didn't like it much), wanted to buy all the things at the farmer's market (but didn't, since I'm leaving on a trip Tuesday), and have to bake a friend a cake here in a few minutes (she just had surgery). Need to head to the store and buy the ingredients though!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had to look up RAGBRAI - wow.

I, too, thinking spending more time here than the other places of social media might be the best for me. Of course I have just spend the last 4 hours scrolling through FB and twitter, so I am not so great with follow through.

Hey guys.

I could use some spare health-ma for my Aged Mother if you've got any. She's in hospital with a stubborn infection in her leg.

Much health~ma to your mother, chrismg.

Work might have some challenges tomorrow. On the other hand, it gave me incentive to send out five job applications in the past week. And I do want to move back up north. So, new job~ma would be great, please.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

health~ma to your mother, chrismg.

We're home now. That...was a weekend. Mr. S was in full not-listening mode, running away from us, spitting at people, etc.
