estela is the poster about whom I sometimes wonder 'would she have posted that?' after one of my more emotionally wrought or indulgent outpourings. she is the finest corrective ILX has had to offer

I feel sure that it would be an estela-approved sentiment to state that you should consider asking it beforehand anymore

Earliness is a form of unpunctuality. I hate early people, especially if they come to my house before a designated time. Also, if I'm late and they're being all indignant about waiting, a big part of the waiting time they're being indignant about is the period of time they were at the meeting place before they should have been.(I'm never mad if people are late, I always give them the benefit of the doubt.)-- estela (estelaisale...), May 1st, 2003 1:13 PM.

If I am ever on "Room 101" (which will never happen), I shall use this.
On the other hand, should I just send it to Ronan Keating, for when he gets his chance?

I know what future perfect tense is, I'm not sure how I was meant to infer her appearance from what you said tho. Perhaps I am dense. Anyway!

My favourite teacher at my primary school, Brownhill St Saviours C of E, ran a group called Crossbearers. Given that it involved not even the slightest religious overtones and much frolicking it wasn't until years later I realised it wasn't anything to do with bears at all. I know none of this is technically a pun. The teacher later turned out to be a paedophile.― matthew james (matthew james), Tuesday, November 22, 2005 2:19 PM (9 years ago)

kurt godel also a restricted diet
Gödel subsisted on a valetudinarian’s diet of butter, baby food, and laxatives.........He had an obsessive fear of being poisoned; he would eat only food that his wife, Adele, prepared for him. Late in 1977, she was hospitalized for six months and could no longer prepare her husband's food. In her absence, he refused to eat, eventually starving to death.[19] He weighed 65 pounds (approximately 30 kg) when he died.

i imagine his wife, adele, sometimes felt tempted to poison him herself as a lesson or a joke.

RIP Tom Petty
years ago in orlando i was driving down a long hot dreary road when i realised tom petty was the front seat passenger in the car behind me, looking very relaxed and cheerful. they were behind me for a few miles (quite slow miles because i was new to driving and a complete ilx-style duffer at it and i was petrified of making a mistake and harming tom petty.) but anyway i liked getting to see him not performing, just chatting in a car, and how the person appeared to match the persona. another time on that same road i saw a space shuttle going up which was a stupendous sight even from 50 miles away so to be fair it wasn’t really a dreary road at all.
