Thank you. I miss him like burning, but he wouldn’t thank me for just quitting. Some days there’s a whole lot of WTF (55 Bradford Exchange collectible plates? Really?), and some days I find little things that he left behind that seem to speak directly to me, like a little bit of poetry, or a set of arrows in my

I met a guy when I was in the Army who had been trained as a Chinese linguist. He would order Chinese food not only because it was delicious, but for a chance to practice his speaking skills. It’s such a perishable skill, especially in the wilds of New Jersey, that he took what opportunities presented themselves.

Lots of pictures and Facebook posts — it kept me honest and motivated. :-) And thanks!

I lost my husband seven years ago, let my house and my health go to shit, and I’m fighting my way out of it now with a combination of hard work and martial arts, planning things I want to make, and reorganizing my house to be a home instead of a rubbish tip for my stuff. I’ve thrown out something along the lines of

I was in a marching band too... except it was a military marching band, and we only marched in block formation. The one time they asked us to do a fancy formation it was a complete clusterfuck, and it wasn’t even that fancy. (Didn’t help me that I’d only ever played concert band before. This walking and playing at the

That’s the name of that position in the military. It’s the intermediate position between “attention” and “rest”. The kid isn’t technically at parade rest, though; if he were, his hands would be right on top of left, thumbs overlapped, in the small of his back, not clasped loosely over his butt.

I had a fantastic brie and apple omelet at Trident. If they’d peeled the apple it would have been perfect.

Not me. They’re too long on me. Apparently I look up to human corgis.

I hope you get the option. They ripped mine out last year, and I was perfectly happy wih my service. Now I’m paying more for a much reduced phone service, just so I can afford the Internet connection, which would cost double if I didn’t bundle in some sort of phone. I gave up and unplugged the landline phone

One of my karate students found out that I’d gotten laid off from my day job, and asked “Why don’t you just work from home?” He didn’t quite grasp that there must be a job to work at, even if you stay at home and do it. It was adorable.

Except that furries do refer to themselves as furries.

My hairdresser used to put Sweet n Low in my hair color to tone down the burning if my scalp looked like it was going to be sensitive. I actually would try to schedule my appointments around my period.

Red is the flaky boyfriend of any kind of color. Try washing a red t-shirt you’ve owned for years with your whites, just once, and enjoy your new pink wardrobe...

Will your mom know that you threw away the contents of the care package? If not, toss them. They are now your things, to do with as you will.

That’s not what was said at all. “Worth upwards of $20 million” and “has 25 scripts sitting on her desk” is not the same thing as “has 25 scripts sitting on her desk for consideration, each of which will pay her upwards of $20 million.”

Yes, thank you, I realize that you think that sidesaddle is dangerous; I got that from your first comment. WHY do you think so?

At least she’s sitting *on* the horse, instead of beside it.

Yeah, and I think that they’re teasing a return of the TV show “V” on Facebook as well.

Honestly, the high points for me have been Hayley and Alexis. They need their own PI spinoff, with Javi, Ryan, and Lanie doing guest appearances.

Baccarin is now on Gotham. I don’t think they’ve written her off completely yet, though she did just have a baby.
