@starbreaker hey how's the patient feeling?

@shivvi you got it! Time to move to the cave in a mountain somewhere

@pzmyers there's something I find really odd about an online community of people who don't believe in deities. Now, the Secular Society, in the UK is a campaigning organisation fighting organised religious bigotry. That I do understand. I think my life is too short to spend much time agreeing with other Atheists (over and over again!). Heh.

@ardgedee blue-en?

@logista weirdo! Apparently the leaves are nice to eat. Not the flowers or stalks. They're appalling.

@rikke big love. Depression is so misunderstood. It's so important to say it out loud when you're suffering x

@shivvi they're just the guys that got caught. This analysis of apparently private data is standard stuff.

Pretty good, as it goes. Dodgy cgi in the first section, mind you. But they really did pull it off. Dramatic, exciting, engaging.

Just finished. I really thought Malcolm would die at the end. Glad he didn't, I loved how solid, think but practical he was. Alice was amazing. The story was so intense, he's a damn fine writer.
I particularly like the joke about the canoe name being painted over by a naughty friend. Anyway, glad I waited and glad it was worth the wait.

@starbreaker It sounds like Catherine is surrounded by goodness. I am glad xx

Having a Ben Folds bingerama whilst cooking a Greekish/Lebanese-ish nettle & feta pie, looking forward to seeing him soon on one of his admittedly not very rare trips to London.
But it means I am going out!

Facebook is in the position now of charging protection money. If you pay a monthly fee, we won't give your data to companies. Aren't we nice!

I bothered to watch the 'Pynk' video and fell in love with it, Janelle, the whole gang thing, it was *fantastic*. And a very cutesy, girl-friends-together fun song too.
I am so happy with young feminists. That was amazing.

Sandy Hook parents taking Alex, Jones to court. All my respect and good vibes to them.

@Mainebot hey how's it going? (not a pick up line, obviously)

My son is hypermobile so he's a tiny bit clumsy. He is 12 and growing taller, so a bigger bit clumsy. He's also a gymnast, so boings around constantly. *Every* bump and scratch is a major disaster - every bruise and scratch gets tears and yelping with pain... has he broken his toe or just bashed it and got a bruise? Who knows? Has he bumped his head or do we need to call an ambulance?
Get some sense of proportion, kid! Cry appropriately! Argh!

@SunCat wow. Wow! Well, good for them.

For the first time in about a decade, I went past a blossom tree and I could hear it humming with life. Looked up and it wasn't quite as thick with bees as say, the 1990's but it was definitely better than it has been.
Anyone else see any improvement?

@Starling admit it, you're pro-global warming! ;)

@Neff grapes in France are called 'raisin', and plums in France are called 'prune' so I think there's your root - guessing they're Roman/Latin, and the English words were second?
