Cash, I'd be freaked out entirely. But I'm like that.

Our wings are not tired.

It's easy to get freaked out and grossed out...just never forget that most abuse is by people your kid already knows, not a stranger down the street.

I'd like to strike my previous comment because although it might be true, it's not comforting!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Someone should totally buy this coat. It's LA. I don't need any more coats.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I know we have talked about company swag here. I have a few things amassed over the 19 years I have been at this job but they are all things that live in my office. A project I started to work on recently just hit it's one year mark and the PM is actually letting us pick a shirt or sweatshirt from our company mall. I picked a black zip up that is more like a fleece jacket than a sweatshirt. That will also live at work for those days when it is brrrr cold.

While I was trolling around the company mall site, I found a section for service awards - 5, 10, 15+ years with the company. Since I hit 20 next May, I figured I'd take a look. I started in the jewelry section (yes, very stereotypical). In addition to a nice collection of watches, there were some .5 caret diamond earrings set in white gold. Made me go hmmmm. Then as I cruised the other sections I found a 14 piece pot and pan set and my hmmmmm got replaced by a YES.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That is an AMAZING coat. Do want.

Now tagless for your comfort.

java, it is true. But it helps to keep fear in context. Being aware of people is the best defense against sexual predators.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That's some pretty remarkable stuff at that Vintage Martini site. It's really surprising me to see some colors and combos I didn't expect were around in that period. Like the lime green and fuchsia Edwardian evening dress. Or the chartreuse and brown '40s dude ranch outfit.

Kat, now you have me considering getting into bootlegging kombucha! I'll be a hundredaire!

Just joined a site beta that was a little disappointing when I got inside (the structure is pretty much what's available elsewhere at the moment). Hoping it doesn't turn out to feel like another splintering of my online time and instead ends up helping me make creative connections as promised...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'd say find out what the charges are before worrying too much. the guy we caught at the library - very mild charges. The bigger problem for me - he was in violation of his prole. ( Actually , the big problem for me -- we got a report from a 8/10 yr old girl about him saying things that made her uncomfortable -- my manager did not want us to call the police. about a week later the list came out - and we found him on it. If I had been directly involved I would have called no matter what my boss said. )
