mearaing since Friday:
Many thanks for the lovely birthday wishes. beth b, birthday twin. I hope you had as lovely a day as I did! Beverly, I love all your birthday greetings and am honored to have one of my own. Thanks Juliana and YES, JZ...Bartleby is the best gift I've ever received in my entire life. Seriously, his special day is well more important to me than my own birthday, to be sure.
The day was very, very nice and the dinner at a fantastic Indian place downtown (Rasika, for the localistas) was nearly a religious experience. Every mouthful was divine.
Last night's seder at a friend's house was also lovely. I made haroset for the first time and really enjoyed it.
I thought of the tivo gift conversation as I walked the pooch past a Tivo on the street today, complete with cable box, remote, and all the documentation…too bad it was rainpocalypse today, which surely rendered the lot inoperable. Somebody would have really enjoyed that!
Brenda, I'm so sorry to hear about your doggy's discomfort. I'm hesitant to go with prescription food. It's SO expensive and far too readily suggested when other options might do. I'm especially suspicious of the 'dental food' craze. Lordy, seems like every vet pushes it.
I hope whatever comes to pass for your little friend is easy and cheap.
In final MEME news, the ceiling in one corner of my kitchen has come down. The rainpacalypse has finally claimed a feeble patch in the roof made around an ancient chimney. Fortunately, it's being contained by a load of old towels and one of my floral buckets. As these things go, it could not really be better.
Best ~ma for my usually useless landlord's quick and competent action in repair (and repainting my kitchen) would be greatly appreciated.
You just had snow, erin? We flurried earlier. The microclimate-like things here are amazing sometimes.
Cass, sounds like another race has begun.
It's the last event. Of the whole weekend. Should be wrapped up in about ten minutes, actually. Then it's just getting the rigs loaded and headed ... wherever and tearing down the track. Sigh... Race weekend is over.
eh, the grandstands stay up for a few days, and the barriers a good month or so.
So, how do they do bra fittings exactly? Do you have to be topless? It it weird?

If it would help put you at ease, I'm sure if you asked nicely the fitters would agree to be topless too.
Bra fittings depend on where you get them done. Sometimes they take a bunch of measurements, sometimes they just look at you and check the sized of the bra that you're currently wearing and figure it out. If you're embarrassed to be topless in front of the fitter, they'll understand and step out of the room while you try it on, then come back in once you have the bra on to see how it fits. (That's how they did pretty much all of my bra fittings until I was 18 and got over the embarrassment. They're used to it.)
There is nudity involved, yes.
Yeah, when I had a fitting, the woman offered to step out of the room.

That's been my experience. The nice fitting ladies have to see you in the bras to check that they fit properly.
There was momentary nudity after the measurement when she brought the first bra in. She would have stepped out of the room, but I didn't care all that much, honestly.

Should Probably Be Less Casual about Nudity
