It was SO GOOD, meara. If anyone stops through KC, I will take you there. It;s our favorite. I'd like to try the fancy Michael Smih restaurant next door -- Extra Virgin is the more cas tapas Smith restaurant -- but it's pricier.

They share a wine cellar so I blanch just looking at the wine list.

I can report that walking to Costco is the most ridiculous thing ever. You can only buy like three items, and everyone thinks you're a crackpot.

Ha! My in-laws live across the street from a Costco and they totally do this. They basically treat Costco like I do the bodega on the corner.

Also, shit, I didn't get a chance to move my car today. That's gonna make me late for work in the morning.

The way I (finally) remember the rule is that it's whoever'd reach the place where you'd crash first has the right of way if you both arrive simultaneously.

Well there's my problem right there. Heh, I'm trying to think if what I mean is what's correct, but I am unclear.

I'm about thisclose to saying you're morally obligated to.

Cool

I worked in Bethlehem one summer, and it was a really nice walkable town. (Or, at least, the things I needed were all in walking distance of each other. College, bookstore, restaurants, vegan bakery, and fun historical sites to wander. I don't know where the grocery store was, since I was living on the college campus and eating in the cafeteria.)

I flew to Philly.

hmph. except I was at the Dr.s, and have been sucktastic about seeing anyone lately.

Jesus, Lee. Your mother astounds me.

We have a lot of weird stops here -- two-way, three-way, four-way -- because there are a lot of one-way streets, and then streets that change to two-way without a lot of warning. Most people assume everyone else will stop, which means most intersections are dicey.

hmph. except I was at the Dr.s, and have been sucktastic about seeing anyone lately.

Well, my friend met me at the airport and we immediately drove to Allentown for a whirlwind of visiting and whatnot, so no time for others. Sorry!

but she guess it's the one "who, like you, does not have the protection offered by child bearing", am I allowed to tell her to STFU?

Absolutely. Do it for me. Do it for every woman who didn't think, "I'd better have a child before 30 to prevent breast cancer."

Besides, you'd think she'd understand that it's a small increased risk. At age 45, a woman who had a child before 30 has about a 9% chance of breast cancer by 90. If she hadn't had that child, her risk would be about 11%.

You are too nice a person to mention to her that the single greatest risk for breast cancer is getting older.
