Yes, blowfish, please come to the PLUSA Holiday Gathering, plans for which are just getting under way. And, blowfish, can I just say that your name lends itself so well to being abbreviated on the OT (which, if you’ve lurked at all, I’m guessing you already know).
[Cobble, another welcome kit, please! bxgrl, another tiara, please! I gotta get a manual for blow!]
Well, not to change the subject from the conviviality, but here’s some fun news from Louisiana:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091016/ap_on_re_us/us_interracial_rebuff
An excerpt:
“NEW ORLEANS – A white Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.
Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.
“I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way,” Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. “I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.”
HE’S NOT A RACIST – HE LETS BLACK PEOPLE USE HIS BATHROOM!
Biffy – Let’s call the new blog Hadavist – it’s a Scandinavian term for “I wish I’d known that!”
Blowfish, I’m like you when it comes to my last home purchase.
We should start a blog called Buyersremorser.

I am female, I am shy-ish, and I will definitely go next time if i can get a sitter or if my husband stays home. he’s not as addicted to this site as i am. but i am addicted in the most unhealthy way– i check it regularly to torture myself over my uneducated first home purchase in 2007
“no HOMO thing” that is
“I started the whole “no homo” thing. I’m glad to see it’s caught on well.”
I thought Adam started the whole “no home” thing with Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Hmmmm…what’s for lunch today?
