Re: Trees, Christmas
I'm a real tree person. One year (2004 to be exact), when I was doing the standard hospital stay after childbirth thing, my then-husband decided he'd take care of the tree since it was into the second week of December. He went and bought a fake one. This was after nine Christmases of real trees. I w...

Re: Swamp RimWorld Challenge 2016
Ha. We're all scared to pick Moreta. I ain't skeered. Plus, if we're going with horror movie tropes, the man hater isn't likely to last long. She will also die a particularly grisly death and perhaps be eaten by a capybara. I'm really touched to be included. Does this mean I have to read the plot p...

Re: Early Voting
No early voting in Michigan. I'll likely be voting after 7pm on Election Day, since I'm stuck at work from 7am-7pm.
If I'm lucky, we'll have enough staffing for me to duck out and vote earlier in the day.

No one I know in her age cohort drives a stick. I learned when...
