LOL- my inner world suffered today as Mr. X had finally had enough of my shrine to the inner woman. I was forced to clear away the mountains of newspapers, bubble wrap and cardboard boxes and stuff- which surround me at the computer (imagine a fort made of packing materials). I feel very exposed now- but Mr. X says most normal people are able to walk through their living rooms. I am not sure I belive this. But who wants to be normal anyway? Vive la difference.

Perhaps The Fat Ladies were taken off the air here exactly for the reason you cite, Penni--there are no new programs and they cook the same thing every night. I do hope they are busy cruising the British Isles countryside in their extended motor scooter as we speak, being filmed cooking new and exciting fattening dishes. On the other hand, they did not seem to be in overly excellent health, especially the one who could not walk very far, smoked incessantly, and had that air-conditioning slit all the way up the back of her blouse, so that her bra was clearly visible. Aggressively noncareful (you know this is poetic license, dear poetess, as the word does not pass spellcheck) in our surroundings? Yes, and what a beautiful Virginia Woolf quote, as well. I am happy to be in that club with you and X, although I do suspect she is rather more careful in her kitchen than we are, remembering her attention to antibacterials in past posts. In fact, this is a trait I learned at my mother's knee, since she insisted that exposure to all the little creatures we cannot actually see in the home environment was essential for a healthy immune system. Everyone knows that there are absolutely no germs around computers, so who cares if they are littered with packing materials, stacks of magazines and books, and embedded food crumbs? After all, the food is all dried up, which dessicates lurking pathogens as effectively as it eventually causes husbandly distress, particularly if the woman in the family has taken to living among the clutter so that she can compute even more often, sort of like children live at time in forts under the dining room table.
