The back of Alysa's red dress reminds me of Ilia's vampire costume. Looking forward to seeing her programs this season!

When I went looking for a wig to use through chemo, I couldn't wrap my mind around the ones made from real human hair. They creeper me out too much to even try on. It was like wearing someone else's skin. Just couldn't do it.

I've been cleaning out my bookshelves as part of our downsizing effort and came across two books from about 1992-93. The first one is called Galileo's Revenge, Junk Science in the Courtroom (by Peter W. Huber) and the second is called Inventing Reality, The Politics of News Media (by Michael...

I'm not a skater, but it would be my dream to simply have a nice-looking glide by stroking on strong edges. When I was skiing, I remember the day that everything clicked and I could turn sharply on my ski's edges without fearing that I would fall - that's the feeling I'm talking about getting on...

I told DH that if convicted, he will be pardoned like so many others. Right or wrong, for that reason I'm not investing time into this case.

I keep envisioning Alysa in a VW bus commercial. "Are you having any fun???"

As someone who is struggling a lot through cancer treatments right now, I would find it inspiring to see the Shibs on the ice again. Doesn't have to be the Olympics, or even a podium finish at smaller competitions. Just need hope that there will be some healthier days ahead, and I'll take that...

I think Jason found his new skates. Hope he breaks in a backup pair for next year.

A lot of wildlife is mating this time of year. We get skunks around our yard every mating season.

This is the million dollar restriction that I was referring to. Sorry that I didn't quote it and wasn't clear.

Is the million dollar per year for any single year or an average over 20 years? Just wondering.

I agree, the classic layback spin is beautiful. However, when I think of myself spinning in that position, I think I'd get nauseous. (I'm not a skater, just envisioning how it might be.) The combination of spinning and being bent backwards like that to the point where I don't think I could...

I got a pneumonia vaccine the other day, so I'm caught up. Two people I know, including an older close friend and DS (age 34) both got pneumonia in the last 2 months.

Look at the first post in this thread. Under Event Details, you can see the address for the arena in Washington DC.
