Does it make recommendations based on the weather?

We need to add that to shit we need to take to the patent office. Does Hec have a file?

I'm sending an APB out for Strega. If you see her in some thread, being contrary, please send her my way.

What if she's being agreeable?

You know, Clooney was a lot less attractive in 1989 than he is now (IMO). Damn him - who has the right to be better looking at 45 than at 30?

You know what, though? Clooney has the same thing going on that Robert Redford does and that (I think) Brad Pitt does. When they were younger, they were just sort of generically pretty -- DAMN pretty, but in a sort of unstamped-coin kind of way. Shiny, but generic.

After some years, though, they're no longer generic. Their coin of attractiveness has been stamped.

I always felt that Princess Di was like this, too.

Yep. See also Grant, Cary and Gable, Clark.

ABC Family is rerunnign Gilmore Girls from the first season, and Flatmate calls me into the room whenever Dean (now Sam on Supernatural) in on the screen, so I can witness how ungainly and odd he is (at something like age 17).

Really? I'm surprised because Jensen Ackles was a beautiful child on Days of Our Lives. He was beautiful the way (very young Elijah Wood was beautiful, although, I think Elijah's beauty, except for his eyes, has mostly faded, where Ackles has gotten even more striking).

Sorry, Plei. I meant Not!Dean. I confuse myself.

Oh crap, I'm so confused.

One of the student instructors yesterday asked me if I was going to fight them in their test.

"Yes." I said. "I'll be there for you."

And then it was horrible, like the words were being yanked out of my mouth on a rope--I mean, I was scoring a test at the time and trying to focus on that.

"These five words I swear to you...when you breathe I wanna be the air for you..."

Oh man, ita. This needs to be COMMed, but I'm already an over-COMMer and I just put up Cashmere's apples/oranges quip.

What I don't understand about smoking is why the first person did it. We have an Indian with a tobacco plant. He tried eating the leaves, but it made him sick, tobacco being quite poisonous. He then said, "I can't eat this, so I think I'll dry it and inhale the smoke."

I read recently that Native Americans smoked tobacco medicinally, because a small amount actually helped relieve uncomfortable respiratory problems, and that it was the Europeans who took it to extremes (and who got so easily addicted, because they hadn't had generations to get used to tobacco use -- sort of a reverse of the situation with the high rate of alcoholism among Native Americans).

If we're gonna do a patent, I want the Mood Coffee Machine. Instead of recommendations based on the weather, you put your finger on a pad and it dispenses a beverage based on your mood.

You're very anxious today! Have some green tea.

You'd have to be able to individually program it. For me, it would be:

You're very anxious today! I'm making you a triple expresso. Try not to kill anyone.

For god's sake! Your BCC (Blood Caffeine Content) is 100%! Try drinking some freakin' water!

One of my many bosses gets all aggravated whenever I personally address an envelope instead of printing it.

I think it's nicer to get a hand addressed letter. He thinks it's too casual. WHATEV.

::cough::Jessehasmeblocked::cough::

Do not! That's what I get for skimming. Or, I was distracted by the stuff about kissing.

I have that same issue at times, Allyson, and I'm on your side. "Personal!" "Unprofessional!" WhatEV.

Your handwriting is prettier.

In reality, I'd vary depending on the type of correspondence. If I was trying to establish or reinforce a personal business relationship, I'd do handwriting (if mine didn't suck.) Seems more like you made an effort for that person, instead of hitting print from your address book. Random official boring formish letter? Print it.

Nonwork? Whatever the hell works. My friends aren't reading anything into the envelope.

---

I like getting letters with handwritten addresses on the evelopes. It's a lot harder to mistake for junkmail. It doesn't matter how pretty the handwriting is--just as long as the post office can make it out, I'm good.

Lee for validation, I got them for my then-14 y.o and then-9 y.o last year and they were a big hit with both genders (plus my 40-something brother loved his set too!)

Thanks Dawn!

Lee, that's a dangerous site. So many tempting things: the Seven Deadly Sins Wristbands, "What Would a Pirate Do?" Spin Folder, Jane Austen action figures...

Seriously.

If we're gonna do a patent, I want the Mood Coffee Machine. Instead of recommendations based on the weather, you put your finger on a pad and it dispenses a beverage based on your mood.

Can it have a setting for "do I have to choke a bitch"?
