Oooh, or a Civic.  Civic is a nice reliable car.


If you care about fuel economy, I'd go for a civic hybrid, but I think they're a little more expensive.

Well, I personally liked living with all the green, but it takes some time to get used to the rain and the overcast weather, so if you're one of those people who get depressed if it's not sunny enough, I would not suggest it. But if you like mild weather (not too cold or hot) and green nature along with a lot of lakes and the Sound, it's a great place to live. Just depends on taste. I think overall I like it better than Utah's weather, especially since you can really grow things there. I *LOVE* berries and they grow wild there. If you want to grow them (as long as you have a place to do so) it's not hard, unlike here!

Wow, there are some pretty big names there. It's so weird that Kingdom Hearts is a combination of Final Fantasy and Disney. Weird.

Well, technically Ruthie is part of TWG and her husband by proxy, so he counts.

Well, if you didn't already, look at the "Hey Ms. Fish" thread on the same page and look at the Wizard's link. Three postings for editor jobs there.

Most likely cheaper than the Washington DC area, but I haven't lived there for a long time, so I could be wrong about that. I wish I could apply for this, but I can't move right now. Oh, well.

And Ms. Fish, it just says 6 months of paid experience preferred. Any experience helps. So if you have other experience you could count (whether professional or not), that would help.

I am SOOOO Happy because I just finished editing a 650-page manual for work. It was driving me nuts. I'm so glad it's done!

I have to say that that is weird that you don't like them separately, but put them together in a fry sauce and you're good. I personally love ketchup so I'm deeply and personally offended that you do not because every one must like what I like, after all.

My mother-in-law sent us money to go out to dinner for Valentine's Day as well. Yea! She also sent fun socks with hearts on them. How sweet.

Oh, my. That is just way too fun. I can see how you could spend so much time there. Congrats on the time wasting.

Are those the kind that are done in Young Women's and Relief Society when we're making quilts for the poor and we need to make a lot? If so, I've made one of those before, but I think the patch-work quilts are so beautiful and I'm so inspired by yours and Fishy's that I really want to learn how to do it myself. I've always loved quilts, I've just never made my own. I want to learn, though. One issue I have is that blankets never seem to be big enough for the bed. Sure they fit when no one is under them, but once my husband and I get under them, it seems like there is not enough blanket for both of us. We got a king-sized quilt for our queen bed, and that helps, but when we have a king, I'd like a *really* over-sized extra big king quilt to go on top. I'd also like to make beautiful quilts for my kids.

Thanks for the advice, Nessa. Your quilts look just amazing. That's a really good idea, though, to start with a baby quilt. Do they have baby-sized versions of those types of quilts in quilting books? And have you hand-sewn all those quilts? If so, I hope it looks just as good with a machine because I don't think I could hand-sew a quilt. Amazing!

Well, this is a thread for proofreading, isn't it? Sorry if it bores you. I was just trying to contribute to the discussion.
