Me too, but I still cringe at paying shipping costs.

See...where I am, I'm better off ordering on-line and paying shipping charges. Like I said, we don't have big chains...which means no competition, and though to an extent I try to support my local stores (local mostly meaning NH...), there is no WAY I'm going to pay $18 for a CD that costs $12 on-line - even with shipping I come out ahead. Guitar strings...I can get those online for $5 a set, tops. Here they cost $10. Etc., etc., etc. It's crazy.

Don't start talking crap about your story again today.

I second that. I really like your story, Rosie. The tension is building nicely, and the mystery is very intriguing and believable. You've got potential, girl...

We had to do that twice. Once we ordered catfish. It was smothered in a cajun hot sauce that burned the roof of of our mouths. And some romaine lettuce was as limp as...well, it was limp. But they issued a credit promptly, no questions asked, and even apologized, so we are happy.

Thanks! (Though you may take that back when I post todays drivel...I'm trying to avoid soap opera moments, but I don't think I've completely succeeded...)

You're bad!

Hey...maybe your next work could be Elf-Bashing for Dummies?

Coming along...I'm about to post yesterday's and todays. I'm still about 500 words shy of my quota, but I didn't write more than 500 yesterday, so I've actually written quite a BIT of crap. :-)

Just finishing one of the more crucial chapters. Hopefully I don't come to regret my handling of it later on!

Constipated?

I'm trying to right a bit more crap so I'll have a nice, crappy place to start tomorrow.

Well, it probably comes more naturally to some than to others. Some people could certainly use some tips, eh?

But Hair and Jen are both here, and I want to keep my on-the-fence position on this issue, so I'll stop now...

Good move, Rosie. Elves never forget. Who would you rather have angry with you, an Elf or a mortal?

I'm just hoping no one is proofreading my posts today. You'd think all the extra writing I've been doing would have improved my ability to type without major typos, but I'm doing worse than ever...

Good move, Rosie. Elves never forget.

But when that milk of magnesia kicks in, they'll be occupied for quite a while.

OK, finishing details. (I've only been saying that for what, an hour?)

What's a meal that would be incomplete without one particular ingredient that would be added towards the end of perparation?
