Often, I see entries there I wish to reply to. Angrily. I *could* just write an angry letter - but that would be petty.
Drat.
Perhaps it needs a sibling comm: Repliestoangryl. Because etters wouldn't fit.

Bit of a firefox problem....

I'm using my mom's laptop downstairs while I watch the kid. She's sleeping. I might as well be upstairs. But that's beside the point. On my own laptop, I have the "easygestures" extension installed. It's not perfect, but I like it, and I'm used to it. Among other things, when I right-click, I can close my current tab. I don't have to remember a keyboard command, and I don't have to head to the top of the page to do this. Naturally, I don't want to install bizarre extensions on my mother's laptop (and she'd consider this bizarre), but I don't think that adding "close current tab" to the right-click menu counts. I can't, however, find an extension that does this. However, since I can't be the only one with this problem, I figured I'd post and ask all youse guys for help. Please?
Oh, and my mom's assessment of Ana is that she might be ready for very simple "real books" by the time her sister gets here. I'm not sure if that's because Ana is brilliant or because my mom thinks Ana is brilliant, but I'm already starting a list! For, ahem, Ana. Definitely.

We can whine enough to keep them from banning open drinks on the subways, and we can rant enough to keep them from banning photographs...
But this one is apparently going through with no real problems. What gives? It's not going to stop anybody, and the only practical purpose of this whole thing will be to give sex shops a bit of an increase as everybody buys massively embarassing objects to carry around Just In Case.
This is my own fucking city, for crying out loud! My own city. I'm not a massively patriotic citizen, and, in truth, I don't especially care what nonsense goes on in the rest of the country I'm arbitrarily bound to... but this is my city.
It's my own city, and I almost want to leave.
