1. We get more courage with with friends who have our backs (and certain beverages). With such courage, we get thicker skins. Just as it's easier for you to defend someone else than it is to defend yourself, it's easier for us to defend you. Solution: Don't go browsing without a buddy. Preferably a catty buddy.
2. Sir Sleeps-a-lot can be one of the cattiest person I know. I love hearing you kvetch, but I'm not so great at kvetching with you. Maybe I can work on that.
3. Can I dress up as Emperor Palpatine. Or maybe we have an idea for #6.
4. Put in Candy where you said Pickles, and I'd completely agree with you. Though I suppose diabetic kids have to get something for Halloween. Dammit, see I can't do catty.
5. I'll pass on a public response to this. Remind me in RL or in gchat, and I'll tell you then what I would have put here.
6. The business you suggested to me last week sounds awesome, and I'd love to not only help you get started in it, but work on it directly myself. The best part is that I think it stands a better chance at succeeding if it has an online component with someone who has an established internet presence supporting it. Failing that, I vote that you be a professional writer.
7. Father's daughter? She loves the Y-chromosome. I wonder if that'll translate in being able to teach her? Might be weird for potty training though. So maybe scratch the whole thing. Re sidewish: I'm bad about giving unsolicited advice too, just look at everything above. Still you seem to tolerate me anyways and for that I'm grateful.
8. See this just makes me feel like a failure as a friend. Still, I think understand where you're coming from.
9. In my house, you have 2 people interested in reading it right now and 1 willing buyer (it's a bit silly for us to keep 2 copies of the same book in our house, right?). I'm willing to wager that there are at least 10 other interested buyers reading your very post. But despite all that, if you finish it, you'll be done with it and it'll take a load off your mind. So if you don't want to finish it for your friends, finish it for yourself.
10. Cleaning party? Sorta like helping someone move, but cleaning instead. Does anyone do this with people's houses? If not, wanna be a trend setter?
