'Shells'
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.
I support you getting through this however works. If you need an alibi, I am here. With you. And we were totally doing a thing.
I fear you risk the "I am Spartacus" of alibis.
THEY CAN'T PROSECUTE US ALL
I know my father and his siblings got one another's kids tinker toys when they were feeling spiteful. Not noisy, but pernicious. Do they still exist? What color is the living room rug? 400 Legos in that color could make a lovely gift.
Cashmere, I am so sorry for your loss.
I wasn’t aware of the downess of FB & it’s minions until late in the day when I complained to a friend that I was trying to contact Comcast & they couldn’t find my record. She wondered if they were somehow using FB tools for that sort of thing. The coincidence does seem suspicious.
Meanwhile I am reading a memoir called The Arbornaut and somewhat amused that as recently as the late 70s in Australia intellectual women were called “bluestockings”. How very 19th century of them.
Interesting, sumi. And reminded me that I have been wondering for a while if there were actual blue hosiery involved in the origin of the term so I googled and:
The term probably originated when one of the ladies, Mrs. Vesey, invited the learned Benjamin Stillingfleet to one of her parties; he declined because he lacked appropriate dress, whereupon she told him to come “in his blue stockings”—the ordinary worsted stockings he was wearing at the time.
Which is really far from anything I imagined.
Bourbon, alibis, and vuvuzelas sounds like the title of a Buffista memoir.
It does!
Since we're heading towards Halloween and Christmas isn't far behind, I came across this Nightmare Before Christmas Advent Calendar. It seems to be something some Buffistas would like.
FWIW, I really like this company - they have old books - remaindered hardcovers, some paperbacks - DVDs, BluRays, audiobooks at reduced prices. And, if you use their paper order form and pay by check, everything you order is shipped at $4; if you order online, they'll charge the $4 for each item. I've gotten some good stuff from them; the only issue I've had is that they'll sometimes run out of something I want before my order comes in.

Title of your sex tape
Oh wow, I haven't thought of Hamilton Books in years! Do they still send the newspaper-sized print catalog? Someone light the Atropa Signal . . . .
Trudy, I was also thinking Legos would be a lovely gift - I wonder if they offer custom colors?
Title of your sex tape
hahahahahahaha
Title of your sex tape
We watched the final episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine last night, and *that* ("title of your sex movie...did I do that right?") was the thing that made me get teary.
Hey ND! How are you and Pix enjoying the trip?
Apart from the bed in our Air BnB combined with our backs and general "having the olds" regarding substandard beds, it's a lovely trip.
