Ack, msbelle. I know you guys continue to work it out.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am such a baby sometimes. I have been putting off reaching out to a VP here, because I don't really know her and figured the answer to my question would be no. I finally emailed her, and (a) she wrote right back, and (b) the answer was probably yes! Sweet!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, msbelle. Sorry you had such a rough night.
Oof. My deltoid muscles felt like rocks last night. Today they're really tender. I haven't pushed the knee yet. We'll see how it does with spending the day climbing up and down a ladder.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, msbelle, I am so sorry. What a rough thing. Poor you, poor Mac.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Ack, msbelle, that's so hard. I'm sorry. Yes, definitely treat yourself at lunch today.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh msbelle, sending you love. Ice cream sounds like a good plan.
I have a bunch of work items to take care of, all of which fall under the "onerosity-mild" category, like rec letters to write and job offers to send out, plus lots of laundry, also mildly onerous. feh. If I get done in time, I'll go to BevMo and take advantage of the 5 cent sale.

I'm sorry, msbelle. I wish he could take out all that anger on a punching bag.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes, that fellow is a vagabond — a criminal of some sort — but what kind? There is a taxonomy, for not all rogues are alike. In 1566, English writer Thomas Harman created one, and eleven years later, William Harrison published a complete list. Here are the male vagabonds:
The several disorders and degrees amongst our idle vagabonds:
1. Rufflers (thieving beggars, apprentice uprightment)
2. Uprightmen (leaders of robber bands)
3. Hookers or anglers (thieves who steal through windows with hooks)
4. Rogues (rank-and-file vagabonds)
5. Wild rogues (those born of rogues)
6. Priggers of prancers (horse thieves)
7. Palliards (male and female beggars, traveling in pairs)
8. Fraters (sham proctors, pretending to beg for hospitals, etc.)
9. Abrams (feined lunatics)
10. Fresh-water mariners or whipjacks (beggars pretending shipwreck)
11. Dummerers (sham deaf-mutes)
12. Drunken tinkers (thieves using the trade as a cover)
13. Swadders or peddlers (thieves pretending to be peddlers)
14. Jarkmen (forgers of licenses) or patricoes (hedge priests)
I wonder if the modern definition of 'hooker' evolved from #3....
