Thank you!

I did not know that. Thanks!

Soooo many reasons to visit Amsterdam.

Is anyone else having comments disappear? A couple of mine are gone, including one I really want to edit (wrote "internet" instead of "internist" in a migraine discussion), along with the ones I was replying to.

Also fun is reading the play the characters want to perform in Mansfield Park

Most of it was because I was working a temp job in a building the size of a football field.

If you want to try some Jane Austen, start with Northanger Abbey. It's the shortest of her six major novels, and it has the most belly laughs.

I've read P&P probably 20 times. If you re-read it, you will discover things you missed. It is packed with jokes.

No, but a lot of the sinks were a really cool early effort at getting people to turn the water off. They had a foot pedal, and the water would only run while you were pressing it.

I've lost 30 pounds since February!

Has your doctor considered Topamax? Your internet may try to give you heavy-duty pain meds. Not recommended, as they can lead to rebound headaches that can be worse than the original headache.

I don't mean to minimize discrimination issues, but I became a single-issue voter about 10 years ago, and that issue is reproductive rights. I'm no longer using mine, but I have a niece who's almost the age to use hers, and I want hers to be intact when she needs them.

In most of the bathrooms, the walls between the stalls went from floor to ceiling, and the doors went to about 6" from the floor and enough that only people over 7' could see in. There were no urinals.

Fuck psoriasis that's so bad I can't leave my apartment, and can't sleep because of the itching.

My family went to Amsterdam in 1971. There were gender-neutral bathrooms in most of the places we went. Americans are good at getting hysterical about things that don't warrant it.

Don't feel too bad. My 40th was the year Agammemnon was born.

We gotta guitar selves outta here.

How about "square"?
