Xander ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thank Hermes for the internet.
I second that. I can't even imagine shopping in brick-and-mortar stores for more than the occasional outing anymore. Too many people, too much walking, too hard to find specific things.
I'm thinking I should peruse etsy. And ooh, the little folding-leaf table my sister gave me will be perfect for setting up my little bitty fiber-optic-lights tree. Gotta find it.
She's asking me what kind of patties I want her to bring. When I left Jamaica they only had beef.
MMMMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMM! Beef patties!
Thanks! That's the one I've been most recently using and it's mostly fine, but my memory keeps insisting that things I have to run through multiple times would have gotten clean the first time with the eco-unfriendly stuff. I will have to run a test load to be sure.
Ooh, I like that pendant a lot. The compass pendants I've seen have been bulkier.
Go, Calli!
I'm writing letters of rec for students today. It's hard for me to say something about one, A. She's nice. She does her work. She's average. I'd tell her to go to someone else, but I worry that I am the teacher who knows her the best.
I have two paragraphs on her so far. This sucks.
Oh, that's lovely, the compass pendant.
I like the pendant a lot, ita. I'm glad the arrow is spinnable.
I usually try to at least get my immediate family Christmas presents, but I think I'm gonna give it a pass this year. Don't have the money or energy. I do need to get my sister something for her birthday at the end of the month, though.
I like that pendant a lot too, ita.
I've been using TJ's environmentally sound dishwasher detergent, and I like it okay, especially the price.
MMMMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMM! Beef patties!
Kat took the words right out of my mouth. Sadly, no patty in it.
I hate writing those letters, Kat, the "how do I say 'average' nicely?" ones. For those students, I tend to focus on the student's progress since I can't necessarily praise the writing itself.
That's a beautiful pendant.
And, oh, ouch, Kat. I've been on the receiving end of a kind dismissal, and, as much as it stung me, I didn't stop to consider that it probably sucked for the professor too.
ICompletelyON, here's Matilda's first recognizably human figure drawing, from her visit to the pediatrician on Monday.
