'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And YIKES billytea! I'm glad it was no worse that that, since it sounds like it could have resulted in deaths instead.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And YIKES billytea! I'm glad it was no worse that that, since it sounds like it could have resulted in deaths instead.

Very easily. I was fine at the scene, but once I'd got home and was telling Biyi what happened, I was a bit of a mess about it. (It was just that, thinking about how much worse it could've been.)

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear, billytea. That kind of near miss will stay with you. School pickup really is a fraught situation. I'm grateful all will recover.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

billytea, glad it wasn't worse.

In re bread - I used to bake a lot and I remember making what was called Swedish rye bread - it had oranges and, I think, raisins and I believe it included molasses. It was yum.

If I make bread again I'll likely use the bread maker for the kneading and hold times, then bake it in the oven. I don't like the size and shape of the bread maker results. I want it in a normal loaf pan, or laid out on a stone. Right now I don't make it because the aroma convinces me that a loaf is clearly a single serving.

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

Yikes, billytea! Very glad it wasn't worse.

And, in news from Australia, why did the koala cross the road ... or at least try to.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yikes, billytea! I join the chorus of "glad it wasn't worse."

thank goodness for seatbelts and airbags

Hear, hear!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, billytea, that sounds awful for everyone. I'm so glad it wasn't worse, but still. That's plenty bad enough.

Dealing-with-all-the-yikes~ma to msbelle, in abundance.

Things I am jealous of: Epic's trivia night full of HP and Friends instead of completely obscure STEM questions (which the lab assistants did okay on, but even they weren't great; these were like a US history trivia night focusing exclusively on John Jay's childhood tutors), and shrift's rye bread.

Ha! Yeah.

billytea, I'm glad it was no worse, but that's understandably upsetting.

It's going to 50 whole Fahrenheit degrees here today. Practically spring!
