i do. i'll call sun night or mon morn 21796. iiibbb - 5/13/2007 2:14:27 PM Still working on the word... came up with placative, but I still don't think that has quite the right contextural meaning. It works, but just barely. 21797. iiibbb - 5/13/2007 2:17:45 PM placative implies the audience would have some animosity toward the protagonist. I'm thinking of a neutral audience that doesn't have many, if any, preconcieved ideas. 21798. Magoseph - 5/13/2007 3:31:48 PM 
Hooray, this card means money to buy books!

at one pm today?
patsy 21801. wabbit - 5/13/2007 11:44:48 PM I hadn't heard about Standing Women. At 1pm, I was standing at the kitchen counter making Eggs Benedict for my mother, siblings and nieces. We'll try for next year.
Meanwhile, I hope all the mother's had a happy mother's day! 21802. wabbit - 5/13/2007 11:47:01 PM Also, congratulations to Ohio and the Malarky women! 21803. arkymalarky - 5/14/2007 12:08:10 AM Thanks Wabbit!
I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! 21804. arkymalarky - 5/14/2007 4:22:34 AM Hey! Posting from my blackberry. Not going to be a regular thing, but it does work! 21805. thoughtful - 5/14/2007 1:44:47 PM Congrats to the arkans on graduating and happy mother's day to all moms.
21806. arkymalarky - 5/14/2007 9:33:20 PM Thanks, Thoughtful!
21807. arkymalarky - 5/14/2007 9:40:15 PM Mom and I had an absolutely delightful visit with Al and Evie! They are such a warm, neat couple, and it was like sitting down with people we've known forever. I'm so glad we were able to meet up. I wish Mose could have come, but she was working today.
We ended up in Lucky's, where the infamous Karaoke evening took place last summer, and it was a good atmosphere for a quiet visit, since we were practically the only ones there. It amazed me that hardly any place in downtown Hot Springs was open for lunch. 21808. alistairConnor - 5/14/2007 9:59:31 PM Well, I had planned to meet a woman for lunch today, at a restaurant on a barge tied up on the Rhone in Lyon -- her choice.
I had a meeting at a client's site this morning -- thought I was meeting only two people but there were seven in all, and I had to drive it. It was supposed to finish at 12, but at 12.20 I realised we were still there and spent the next ten minutes trying to wind it up... in the end I just basically walked out on them.
I was late to the restaurant, of course. By then she had called to say that it was closed, in spite of their advertising. Did I mention that it was pouring with rain? Really really wet stuff. She was soaking when I caught up with her. It's supposed to be lucky for weddings, perhaps it is for first meetings too? 21809. wonkers2 - 5/15/2007 12:10:16 AM Hagiography? 21810. arkymalarky - 5/15/2007 3:36:00 AM Alistair, I thought of The Princess and the Pea. She came to the door soaking wet claiming to be a princess, but it took a night in bed to figure out if she was telling the truth. 21811. alistairConnor - 5/15/2007 11:00:51 PM The moral of that story is that a girl should be careful about sleeping around, because she might get her peas. 21812. arkymalarky - 5/15/2007 11:06:45 PM *GROAN!* 21813. betty - 5/16/2007 2:08:33 AM congrats arky.
my graduation is on sunday. spent a couple hours at the Mall today trying to find a dress (we don't do cap and gown). when I was uber-fat I could find a dress that fit me, now, I can find a dress that fits me or a dress that fits my boobs, but not both. If I dress to fit the boobs I look dowdy and matronly with the rest of the dress hanging like a curtain. If I dress the rest of me I look like a slut (I might be one but I don't want to LOOK like one).
I wish I knew how to sew.
