LadyB, I'm going to have to get back to you with my giggles, because - I can't. I just can not, right now ...
Yeah, sorry y'all.

The pre-modern world was willing to attribute charisma to women well before it was willing to attribute sustained rationality to them.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

[quote=""MLE (Emily Cotton)""]Oops! I can sympathize with bloopers, though. I prepared a book of my mother's old pictures for her 90th b-day, and on the front, a labeled photo of her grammar 'scool'. That thing is in the hands of every relative with my name as the author. [/quote]
I know that feeling, I read over my Masters dissertation so many times before handing it in, and looking back now, the content is fine. But then I put the wrong year on the front cover!

Re: The Most Amusing Thing Today....
This is one that could go in the Annoying thread, but I have to laugh instead. Within 15 minutes of saying to someone, "Oh thank goodness - today has been so busy I forgot about that headache I've been fighting for two days" - the storm front lurched forward, and damn if I didn't have a throbbing sinus headache all the way home. And since.
I was SICK with this headache yesterday, though. So today I am choosing just to be amused, eat a good supper, have a good ale, and go to bed soon.
