Poor thang. Don’t take it so hard.

Well, K is on her own while I am AWOL, but I know she can stand her ground. Fortitude, thy name is **Kn\*ckers**.

See you in 2 days and 2 nights…

With massive injections of testosterone.  
How do I get that horrible discoloration out of my shower grout while still being environmentaly friendly? Suggestions?

When cleanig up my kitchen, I save any lemon, lime, or orange peels til the very last, then i send them down the in-sink-erator (disposal). This leaves a very pleasant odor that lingers in the whole kitchen.

Potpourri can be refreshed with essential oils. I purchase mine at _Michaels_.

Hijack:

Evolutionary psychologists would argue that the reason a flat stomach is considered sexually attractive on a woman is because it is a visual indicator that the woman is probably not pregnant. Thus, those men that found themselves attracted to flat-stomached women would have better chances of reproductive success than those men who were attracted to round-stomached women; and if there is any genetic component to flat-stomach-attraction at all, it would be passed on to those men’s offspring.

That’s all well and good but my genes had to give me massive amounts of geekery, shyness, and general apathy in addition to a fondness for those sexy sleek stomachs.

Who says Nature doesn’t have a sense of humor?

_The Devil In The Dark_, TOS. Spock and Kirk discuss the miner’s phasers being unable to damage the Horta:  
Spock:“The miners are armed with phaser I…we have Phaser II.”  
Kirk:“Yes, phaser cutting phasers.”

Actually I never saw that episode.  
I’ve just run into several situations where theres a big ass phaser blocking my path. I try as I might to cut it into bite sized pieces but alas, my salad clipping phaser is useless!

P.S- I actually have that old toy phaser from TNG. Its sitting around someplace. Oh yeah, a tricorder too.  
Your jealous.

I used to have a toy phaser and tricorder and they opened up to make little playlands for my miniature Trek figures. Had an Enterprise, Warbird, Bird of Prey, Cube, and Marauder too.

Getting back on topic a bit, I saw about forty minutes of this show (No more NCAA! Yay! But there was golf instead! Boo!) and, in a word, it was anticlimatic.

That ending with Reed came out of nowhere and I spent most every scene featuring T’Pol staring at her stomach. Damn you, **Viva**!

**I** still have my kid-sized toy phaser, toy communicator, and toy tricorder from the _ST:TOS_ toy line they put out in the early 1970s. The phaser still makes a clicking noise if you pull its trigger. Top **that!**

My phaser’s bigger than your phaser.
