.... Morgana giggled, too. It felt good to laugh, all of a sudden. She nestled closer to her, stroking fronds of hair out of her eyes. “I love you, Gwen,” she said it tenderly, without pretence or fear – a soft, humble statement of fact.

... his way to the glass door. Pulling his hoodie lower to hide his eyes, he enters the store. “Welcome!” the cashier greets in a falsely cheery voice. He doesn’t look her in the eye for fear of being recognized but nods slightly instead, making his way to the shelf for a packet of instant jjajangmyeon. Gain freezes. What should I do, what should I do? Will he remember and recognise me? With ...

The Review

...have enough support to stand. Lynn lost his job and had to begin the hunt for a new one. The wedding planning continued and I got my dress and shoes in the mail on the same day. I did find fear lurking because of the job situation and wondering how things were going to end up but there wasn't much we could do about it other than keep moving forward.

Reflections on 2009, the Year of the Bonfire

... supposedly enjoy very much was a forced march because, gee whiz, if I made it the theme for the whole year, guess I better make good on it! Now at the end of the year, I have a bit of fear as to whether this good trend will dissipate once no longer in the spotlight. It's been such fun and so gratifying, I hope I can keep the momentum. 2.

"Work knows no holidays, and fear is a powerful motivator." "So are cookies." "Whatever." Rodney manages to sound pretty blasé for someone who ate roughly a dozen of them not ten minutes earlier. They reach his door, it whooshes open...

Mason jar lids

I use mason jars for storing food in the fridge and transporting things like soup and smoothies to work. I've been hesitant to put the rubberized inner lids in the dishwasher for fear of messing up their seal, since I know heat seals them for one-time canning-level seals in a canner. Do you think that I could wash these in the dishwasher without messing them up for my non-canning purposes where ...

... something that I've never seen before, and it is an acronym for "fear:" False Evidence Appearing Real That's interesting to think about, because I've never considered fear described that way. But it makes sense I guess because I'm sure we've all heard the saying "people fear what they don't understand." Anyway, enough of that nonsense, onto other ...
