Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

'War Stories'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

There is also a tradition of displaying a broom: [link]

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

Is that more war as a sport or sports being like war, I wonder

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

Timelies all!

Sigh...a local folk-rock band we like was playing an outdoors concert in downtown Bethesda, so we decided to go there and get dinner near the concert site. Alas, Mr. S was totally disregulated, culminating with him running away from us in the parking garage. Seems like he's forgotten how to behave when out to eat.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, I'm sorry Sheryl. I hope you are able to have a good holiday weekend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just at a friend's house (!!) for what was supposed to be game night, but we never played any games, but what we did do was tell someone that Naomi Novik is astolat, so a good time was had by all.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

so a good time was had by all.
Often hysterical.

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

Happy Birthday sj!

And I’ve missed so many other birthdays. Happy Belateds!!

Dogs not sleeping in is bumming me out. I may actually take a nap today. Generally naps are a no for me.

I have people coming over tomorrow so I need to clean and go shop for some food.

I guess I should get up and get going. Farmer’s market, hardware store, and pool are waiting.

Naomi Novik is an asshat? I had not heard this, though I don’t follow book world gossip. Why?

I am still lying in bed but trying to convince myself to go to the fancy bakery and stand in line for fancy treats.
