'Serenity'
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.
I won at the knowing sister sort of thing because I hit two notes, independent of gift-giving:
I scored a hug for those two. If I'd switched Windows 64 to Spanish, I don't even know how she'd have reacted. However, I'd have driven myself insane.
Dana, my condolenses. My father died 13 months after my mother. That was 6 months longer than I thought he would last. He wasn't in ill health, he just slowly gave up.
If you believe in an afterlife, then they are together.
They think the funeral will be Wednesday or Thursday. I'm considering scheduling my travel so that I can be at home to watch the Saints playoff game on Saturday night.
Thanks, everyone. My grandmother literally started going downhill the day after my grandfather's funeral -- okay, not literally, as there are really no hills in New Orleans. But she fell and fractured her pelvis and has had multiple problems since.
They were married for 67 years.
Oh, the pelvis fracture seems so terrible -- my grandmother had that this year. OW.
Oh, man, Dana. Poor woman.
Speaking of the not bling, I keep looking at this necklace and thinking it's just too shiny. Even for silver. But I love the design.
Does anyone else hear the "Law and Order" bah- bamp noice after this e-book description:
No woman could resist the pleasures he offered....
They are the Merricks, two brothers and a sister, restless, daring, proud. English by birth, they came to Scotland with their father to occupy McClairen lands. And there each would find a love as wild and glorious as the Highland isle they claimed as their own.
Fia, the only daughter, is the ravishing one. Raine, the second son, is the reckless one. Ashton is the eldest son. This is his story. . . .
Oh Dana, I am so sorry.
In funny and weird news: I had just stepped out of the shower this evening and I heard someone knock on the door. I peered out of the bathroom and thought it best to ignore it.
Then the person on the other side of the door tried the door handle. MEEP. I rushed to the bedroom to get dressed in the dark when my car keys came shooting through the mail slot. My friend C was dropping off keys earlier than anticipated. DOH.
[link] Creepy alogrithim that figured out who I was thinking about in less than 20 questions. Try it!
Man, it correctly guessed Boutros Boutros-Ghali in 21 questions.
Gotta try again.
t edit And Nikola Tesla in 20 questions. Creepy.
And Peyton Manning in 21 questions (I don't know enough about him so there were lots of "I don't know").
But Nikola Tesla is impressive!
