A misc number of things = post
G+, quite apart from the nym gym aspect (paging Shirley Ellis, is really rather suboptimum given the snottiness about older browsers. Not all of us (as it might be, accessing via work computers) have the option to take that helpful hint to upgrade. I can't even sneak in to read my 'stream' by backdoor means anymore.
Also, what is this that this is with people who, as far as I know, I don't know, and some who may not even be FOFs, 'circling' me? If I do know you, but possibly not under that name, it might be civil to let me know Who You Are.
Also weird on the grounds that I do not post much, given the feeling that the whole thing may die the death as far as the people with whom I would hang out with go: just the odd interesting linky thing.

OMG I managed to book DINNER for my birthday celebration next month!!!! This involved logging in to the booking system as soon as it opened for next month's bookings at 9 am, negotiating the captchas, and watching the whole thing hang saying 'in progress' for over 15 minutes, deciding that even if it eventually got through to another screen this would say 'Hah! foiled!', went back to the beginning, negotiated captchas once more, and managed to make a booking, not, to be sure, for the time I'd originally asked for, but only slightly earlier.

Pre-birthday present to self: or possibly, 'poor dear, I'm working so hard on this Textbook revision I need a treat'.

Deborah Orr deviates into sense over that erotic capital book, though feel there are more incisive things that could be said in a couple of paras.
Has occurred to me (re Hakim's all women desire to be idle housewives suggestion) that women who start out with a great deal of erotic capital don't necessarily put all their eggs in the one basket of monogamous marriage, or, indeed, in marriage at all.
The image that springs to my mind here is Marilyn Monroe as Lorelei Lee singing 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend' - when in rl she could, presumably, buy her own diamonds.
