The blue makes it not-white, I think you’re good. Totally appropriate unless you’re a royal.

We got the best computers and coffee and smack.

I kind of thought it was a reference to the French Revolution.

Absolutely true!

The silicone sheets work wonders, I used to work in a bakery and got several horrible big burns on my arms when I first started. None of them are visible any longer. They also help a lot with the itching as burns heal.

I’m six years old and have a stuffed tiger, “Tigger” although he’s not a copy of the Pooh character (mid sixties and I don’t think Pooh had been Disneyfied yet).

Two days in sweltering August Michigan in the same clothes taught me that lesson, which was good because my…

AND Anne is too pretty and not a natural redhead, which is a big part of the original plot.

Exactly, please do not describe Bellevue as “Seattle”, Seattle may be losing its soul but at least it had one to begin with.

Something waterproof.
