Festive occasions

[flemmings]

I don't know which is happier-making, money in the mail or a sudden loss of a kilo plus when you step on the scale in the morning. As it's Sunday, you can figure for yourselves which constitutes today's happiness. As an object lesson, I lugged a 10-kilo bag of road salt home yesterday (22 pounds for the imperialists) and even factoring in the unwieldiness of road salt, like the worst kind of squashy parcel baby, the idea that I'm carrying two of those about my person now is a great impetus to virtue. The realization that I've lost half a bag of road salt since the summer is extremely satisfying. My knees certainly have ceased to grumble as much as they did.

Meanwhile, if the book is correct, it's shiny_monkey's birthday. Happy birthday, shiny_monkey!

I'm almost awake again now. ^^;

Oh, the lamented suds bunny. But he's moved along to other Bun-berg Variations now.

2. The answer, it is seeemple! See, you strip everything in ms. file down to flush right and code it (just like in html). The design specifications tell the typesetter which paragraphs are indented.

5. I'm number three: brother, sister, me, brother. Year apart for all (the evidence of parental insanity right there).

7. Must. watch. TV. T_T

2. But here am I, dorky Professor J, writing an incomprehensible paper. I indent to tell me where a paragraph starts a) because I have to *see* it indented to know it is and b) because I've never heard of codes. Therefore I tab. Editor U doesn't want tabs. What is Prof.J supposed to do?

7. Yappari. At least it's not a book?
