Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do periodically crave salt and vinegar chips, and I love bacon, but they could be less salty. And most things could stand to be less sweet. I like to think I have a dessert tooth, not a sweet tooth. I certainly don't like the two together.

Jeez, msbelle. I think my city started out dark, but that's scary. clings to job and waves awards

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is terrifying. Yikes.
Unemployment in MA apparently went down last month, but I always wonder if that's because of people leaving the work force, not getting jobs.

I'm trying to remember the percentage you're supposed to add to figure actual unemployment. Drawing a blank. Hey, it was almost 20 years ago I learned it.

That map is amazing..... darker and darker.
Did anyone else hear about the people being killed for body fat for cosmetics in Peru? [link] I'm sure if you wanted body fat, there must be an easier way to find it.

Saw that, Kat. Freakish.

I would not believe that if it weren't a BBC story. I imagine plastic surgeons can't do anything with the waste from lipo?

Because books.
