There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I'm the wierdo that doesn't like tea. Although I have found that most people apparently burn tea with too hot water, and I don't like the burned taste.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I've got to get myself weaned off of Diet Coke, and am thinking about using iced tea as a substitute, which is what my sister drinks. (No carbonation allowed after the surgery!) I've got an iced tea maker on my Amazon wish list that I'll probably order this weekend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sorry about your dad, Plei. I hope they can get it next time, without too much more pain and effort.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My parents and sister got fancy electric kettles you can set to proper tea-making temperature (depending on the type of tea), and green and white teas, especially, do seem to taste better when made to spec. When I want most want tea, though, I am more wanting to breath the steam than caring about the taste. Or so it seems today when my sinuses are draining.

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

I bought a couple of adirondak chairs on Sunday and wanted to get a good waterproofer on them before the weather hit. Wasn't fast enough, but I have them mostly painted now. Tonight I need to flip them and get the parts I couldn't reach. Should be some interesting body contortions.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I just ordered a Christmas-themed cross-stitch kit to work on as soon as I finish my current piece (a few more weeks of backstitch, and it'll be ready for framing, after only working on it for over a year--I got away from it this year after starting school).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Plei, I echo what Perkins said.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Armistice Day Quiz

Today is Veterans Day, which gives us all a good opportunity to thank the troops who have served our country. The holiday was formerly known as Armistice Day, though, and it celebrated the armistice that ended the fighting in World War I. How much do you know about that armistice and the holiday it inspired? Let's find out.

I got 70%, but I guessed on a lot.
