(JLM, you can still call me, though <i><a href="http://www.cbs.com/shows/elementary/" rel="nofollow">elementary</a></i> is execrable.) also, they're regulars at my art store and plastic-animal emporium, and that's just awkward.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429404210444847213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-58621162269677345972014-01-11T08:04:29.364-08:002014-01-11T08:04:29.364-08:00oh! i hadn't thought about donating them...i t...oh! i hadn't thought about donating them...i think that would've been somewhat honorable. still, those feelings of "revenge" rarely stay with me for long (though i'll confess to a new breed of "road rage" born from watching someone take the parking spot closest to the apartment as i'm approaching to park my car--there's a bit of a blind corner and i never see them coming). furiousmusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108336299743282480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-50160306828336313082014-01-11T00:55:01.122-08:002014-01-11T00:55:01.122-08:00MDF said...

Full disclosure - D gave me a vintage fur trimmed carpet coat as a gift when we were 15 (we both thought it was fake fur, largely based on the very low price of the gorgeous coat but it turns out it wasn't) and I can't bear to throw it out. So I feel I'm on slippery moral ground here. (ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?!)<br /><br />02. Depends. Was it a party with other dogs? I think that would be more effective in that situation.<br /><br />03. I guess the fact that I'm blanking means I'm not a coffee expert. Best tea was from the Indian Embassy in London, during a vaguely educational outing from which I remember nothing except for the tea. <br /><br />04. No. No. <br /><br />05. Open to it.
