I've been wo...Interesting theory about Dumbledore. I've been wondering about him for ages, ever since Goblet of Fire. There's a line, when Harry returns with Cedric's body and says that Voldemort is back - paraphrasing, but roughly, Harry thought he saw a gleam of triumph in Dumbledore's eye when he told about Voldemort, but in the next instant it was gone. That line has perplexed me for years and it's made me think that maybe Dumbledore isn't the good guy that he purports to be. I realize this is stretching things and that not many people will agree with me, but why would she put that line in there? <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think I'm far too into the Harry Potter books.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in hearing about the Diva cup, too.

Thanks for pointing out that I may have done something nice for the little old lady--I hadn't looked at it that way, but now that you mention it I am especially glad that I patted her hand. I had been afraid I would seem patronizing, but now I'm pretty sure I didn't.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753481035768736548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1138648674680451492006-01-30T14:17:00.001-05:002006-01-30T14:17:00.001-05:00I'm psyched about the Diva Cup.

Years ago, before I finished nursing Teddy, one of the women's magazines had a coupon where you could send for a free sample of something similar, so I did. It was disposable, though, which was disappointing. It was a little awkward, but cool. And then I never saw them in stores . . . The diva thing is washable and reuasable, so won't make the ton of garbage that the other things do. I'm very excited to try it, and will post about it when I do. (Without being too graphic and gross.)<BR/><BR/>**<BR/><BR/>Yes, Val, all accredited law libraries have to be depository libraries. (Somehow I think there's a suppository-based lawyer joke in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to try and structure one.)<BR/><BR/>**<BR/><BR/>That little old lady both broke my heart and reminded me to count my blessings. Nothing like being thumped over the head with your own good fortune. Or something like that.<BR/><BR/>Here's something else about the Harry Potter book: You know how we've heard a million times that you can't apparate on Hogwarts grounds? Well Dobby does! So is it not apparating? What's that all about? And if Dumbledore can appear and disappear at will, as he tells Harry when they're hanging out in front of the Mirror of Erised, then doesn't that mean he can essentailly apparate inside of Hogwarts? Hmmm?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03753481035768736548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1138648624026908502006-01-30T14:17:00.000-05:002006-01-30T14:17:00.000-05:00Ditto on the diva cup.

You gave her a sympathetic ear and you patted her hand (I actually got a bit teary when I read that) and I would like to think that she felt you actually listened and HEARD her. And that's a small miracle in and of itself these days, Gina. You know? It's pretty clear what you got from her in that encounter. I got something, too, and I was only reading along.Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05418469059724674167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1138644682615781102006-01-30T13:11:00.000-05:002006-01-30T13:11:00.000-05:00i've been wanting to try one of those diva cups fo...i've been wanting to try one of those diva cups for ages. let me know howt is, ok? although i have many months before i have to worry about that sort of stuff...<BR/><BR/>that little old lady! ohmigod! how sad! i would not have known what to do either - sounds like i'd have done exactly what you did. <BR/><BR/>tests, schmests, we all know ted is brilliant.<BR/>takes after his mom.<BR/><BR/>was it you told me that all law libraries have to be federal depositories?<BR/><BR/>we have paid to watch john cusack eat his breakfast - remember in grosse pointe blank? egg white omelette?<BR/><BR/>read Motherless Brooklyn. it's really good.<BR/><BR/>and as far as shower soap stuff - i owe badger bigtime for turning me on to softsoap's milk and honey shower gel. it saoftens and moisturizes and smells wonderful, sorta like the clean beach.BabelBabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467487618830618571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1138644609619956522006-01-30T13:10:00.000-05:002006-01-30T13:10:00.000-05:00I agree with your theory about Dumbledore -- that'...I agree with your theory about Dumbledore -- that's why I think what happened in book 6 isn't the end of him.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066257241391122732noreply@blogger.com
