I had chicken pox and mumps and whooping cough. I remember the polio vaccine sugar cubes, and I've got two TB scars on my left arm. A while ago a younger friend suddenly looked puzzled and looked at the left arms of several of us (warmer weather, you could see our arms). "Why do you all have round scars on your arms??"

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was of the chickenpox only generation. When I got the chicken pox it was very mild, but for some reason adults in my family had never had it. I gave it to my mom, my uncle and my 16 year old cousin, who were all very ill, especially my mother.

Happy Birthday Anne!

I had chicken pox when I was 19. One of my friends dropped off horror movies (Evil Dead!) and chocolate for me, and I spent a lot of time mildly hallucinating that the people on my posters were talking to me.

Jilli, I don't know if this means steampunk has gone hopelessly mainstream but today's post on the Beading Daily mailing list is how to make steampunk jewelry. Next thing I expect is to see the local scrapbooking store stocking steampunk themed supplies.

Oh, there are already steampunk-themed supplies at Michael's Crafts, Jo-Ann Fabrics, and Hobby Lobby. Plus Forever 21 keeps making vaguely-steampunk garments. I keep telling the steampeeps to embrace this fact, and stock up while they can.

Three places I try not to go in to, especially right after pay day. I *don't* need any more beads! No, really, I don't!

Kat, indeed, that is how I know her. Pretty damned cool review, no?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not entirely sure why the dev->QA->prod question is such a huge question. It's standard environment architecture. No one external is pressuring us to do this. It's best practice. We're not being extorted by anyone.
This conversation is going around and around and I don't get a single convincing solid argument other than price. And price doesn't make it more less stable.
