    This is wonderful. Sparse, and strangely lyrical.

    Completely off topic, but I thought you would appreciate this: http://i.imgur.com/ZwLtozI.gif As you squee with pleasure, just try to remember me when my query eventually gets to you.

    Donna (and anyone else wondering), been down with the galloping crud for a while. Doing the on-fire, must-do stuff only. Back soon! Thanks for noticing!

    Nasty, that galloping crud. But thanks for letting us know. Checked every day and was starting to worry.

    Ms Reid,

    *sigh of relief*

    There's a lot of curative properties in wood cured alcohols.

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one checking in and wondering/worrying. I hope you feel better soon, Janet!

    I'd send cupcakes, but saw on Twitter that even chocolate doesn't sound good right now. Feel better soon!

    PS: In my off time between your posts, I've been rearranging the books at a local flea market.

    I've been checking every single day and hoping Janet was not going to pull a Jessica or a Betsy on us.

    Donna, so glad you mentioned something. I was going to to but frankly, as I have told Janet before, she scares the shit out of me.
    Feel better soon, we miss your bubbling salt water mouth full of very sharp teeth self.

    This is so interesting. Now I want to go play with all my books. :)

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
