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.

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

Timelies all!

Took the day off because Mr. S is on spring break and the nanny had appointments for her kids in the morning. I originally asked for today as a telework day, but was told I couldn't do that because another person in the lab asked for telework that day.(Taking annual leave was ok. Don't ask me why.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Laura, in regard to trying to find a boat your DH can stand up in, there's a BBC show called Escape to the Country - people living in (more or less ) urban areas go looking for a home - usually an older/historic one - in a more rural area. On one show, the husband of the couple is tall (not DH tall, but taller than average) and they were looking for a place in the country where he could reliably stand up and walk without hitting his head. They were having problems with that.

Our wings are not tired.

Todd, there are lots of times that Brendon can't stand in parts of people's homes, including the house I lived in when we were first married. He says when you are his height you get used to it. I don't think I would get used to the ceiling brushing against my hair on a regular basis, but I'll take his word for it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am thinking of the toilet at the theatre where I worked that was WAY TOO TALL for me. So weird to not touch your feet to the floor while peeing!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My mom fell and had to be taken to the hospital. She's OK, but she has a cracked rib.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Hil! Your family is not having a good holiday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, Hil, how miserable on top of everything.

What is even happening?

Oh my goodness, Hil.

I know that she was planning to go to Boston for my aunt's funeral (probably driving up tomorrow, to attend the funeral on Wednesday), but I'm not sure if she can travel like that with a cracked rib.
