Link of interest & TW request

Fascinating discussion on tolerance - what does it mean, can there ever be too much, does fandom have too little - going on here in justacat's LJ. Have tossed in my $.02, but have little else to elaborate on here.

Mostly she's talking about fanfic standards in the spellcheck and plot sense rather than the content thereof or social issues, but the discussion is wandering.

Also, I am still requesting donations for the Team Wench MS walk. Please, I'm *so* close to $100. The link to donate to me is on my LJ to the right under "Team Wench." For a clickable here, I'm going to link you to the much more eloquent plea from our walk leader.

Resolution update

A little early (and I haven't so much finished the quilt as wrestled the contrary bugger to a standstill - but I will have it finished by the end of the weekend, so it counts) this month's resolution checklist:

( One Quarter Down! )

What's really scary? I'm already starting the ( 2006 Resolutions. )

Who painted the target on my car, damnit?!!

March 8. Go in for regular oil change. They find leak; valves replaced.

March 10. Alternator blows. Replaced, along with serpentine belt.

March 17. Engine running hot & coolant light blinking. Tell Mr. Tire people that they're lovely & all, but must get through a month without seeing them. They top off coolant for free. Engine happy. So am I, figuring that I can now stop dealing with car until I save up to replace suspension later.

March 29. Am leaving bank when a truck backs up into me, crushing hood.


ETA: I am okay, if you overlook the twitch. (I must have looked like death at at the scene, both the guy who hit me and the witness kept petting my arm reassuringly.) The car... moves. It needs a new hood and a new headlight mount and I'm not sure what else, but it's driveable.
