I'm sure we could trump up other stuff that Deb would cop to.
Oh, definitely. But not for Kristin's bug, because I didn't have one for her to catch.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Kristin, I love yer schmoop. Schmoop away!
P-C, thank you so much for all the stories!
Now, I'm craving Tim Tams and I've never even had them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Aww, shucks. Thanks to all who took days off from work and rearranged schedules to host our Nilly-girl.
Thanks to all contributed so I could spend time with a friend (and get a bit more over my fear of having people over to my embarassingly teeny apartment).
When I talked to Nilly yesterday, she was very, very certain that she would come back again, one day. She loved us, and loved America so very much.
She said about New York: It never. stops. moving. Everything is alive! You stand still on the sidewalk and can feel the subway rushing underneath. Everything always moving. Except the traffic near the convention.
So in the competition between who was gonna show Nilly the best time ever, The City of New York kicked all our asses.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The Australian Catalog has Tim Tams, including limited run fudgy ones.
Yes, but not Tia Maria ones. Getting ordinary Tams is easy. (You can get the liqueur bikkies shipped from Australia, but the cost is higher, of course.)

What is even happening?

Yes, but askye gave me a link, where you just made me drool more for Tim Tams.

Thrive to spite them
At one point I was getting catalogs like crazy and the Australian Catalog was one of them. Every time I got it I would sit and drool and then not end up getting anything.
Ohhh! They have a Billy Tea mug.

She preferred New York?
Huh. I had all my money on her falling madly in love with Boston, above all the other cities. She has a deep love of antiquity in her cities, and of all the ones she visited, Boston wears its history most visibly.
Huh. (Scratching head)

Could have something to do with the fact that she was here midweek and didn't get a chance to see all that much. Her only real chance to see Boston's "history" sections was the walk in the Public Gardens, I think.
Well, or the fact that Boston goes out of its way to make itself as inaccessible as possible.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think NY wears its history much more visibly than Boston. Boston has plenty of historical sections, but also plenty of very modern sections. NY, in my view, has much more history mixed into the places that people ordinarily go in the course of a day. One thing that Nilly commented on to me was that, in most of the other cities, each neighborhood and each block had a specific look, while in NY, you never knew what the next building you saw might be. (Nilly, sorry if I'm incorrectly paraphrasing.)
