Fingers crossed for you! I hope things work out.

I just added this to my queue this week. I've read a copy of the books and really enjoyed them. I'm so much more excited about watching it now! Yay sluts!

Thank you! I love that book.

I agree that it is crazy. The assumption is that tips will make up the difference between the base wage and minimum wage. I don't know if that always happens or not as I have worked many minimum wage jobs, but never ones as a server. I would rather have reasonable wages rolled into the cost of my meal, but until that…

Touche, my friend. I had forgotten about the awesomeness that is WA (a place I grew up and miss immensely).

Waiters are paid less than minimum wage on the assumption that they will get tips during their shifts.

The pixie cut she had before was just a wig.

I know! As a federal worker, I am so annoyed that they just pushed this a few months down the road.

Oh, hon, I feel you. I have no SO, so my household just lost 100% of its income. Stupid, fucking Congress. I hope for both our sakes that this doesn't last too long.

Ughh. I'm so sorry. That sucks.

Huh, now I want to know this too! I would imagine it isn't that common since film sets are super unsexy, but it must happen sometimes, right?

Y'all I'm having terrible heartburn. I'm on Prilosec now, and it's getting better, but OMG I MISS ALL THE FOOD. I still am extremely, extremely limited as to what I can eat.

Yay, my hometown did something awesome! I love it, and I'm so happy for her.

Any San Diego Jezzies? I'm in Philly right now, but just put in a request to transfer there. My family lives out there, and after being hospitalized this month for cognitive problems, I really want to be closer to them just in case something else happens. My issues have thankfully cleared up, but it was really scary…

Umm, no. As a 5'2" woman, I have stopped making eye contact anymore when I walk around and it had absolutely nothing to do with worrying about offending anyone. I stopped doing it because in the area I work too many people (almost all men) took eye contact as an invitation to ask me for money, hit on me, or make rude…

One of my dreams is to adapt Rilla of Ingleside into a movie. I adore the Anne series but I think Rilla would legitimately stand well on its own as a film about the home front during WWI.

I love Windy Poplars! Really I love all of the Anne books, even the "boring" wife ones. But I legitimately have always had a special place in my heart for Windy Poplars. I was so happy to see your comment and realize I was not alone.

My absolute favorite cookbook that I own is the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook - the 1969 edition (I think this is the right year). Somewhat oddly, I'm not a huge fan of the current version of the cookbook, because I think it skimps too much on the general cooking knowledge in favor of trendy recipes. The older…

I never meant to imply that! I just meant in the sense that Sal would intentionally sneak things into his illustrations knowing what they looked liked and being amused by it.

Drat, now I'm going to spend all night trying to figure out what the gay equivalent of this game is. Arousing Cock, perhaps? The person in the middle has to crow like a rooster . . .
