"...Switzerland is the legal home of euthanasia...Judging by the frequency of mentions, 50% of Britons are planning to die there." Well is anyone ready to invest in the Last Resort?

my favorite part of this post is the use of the word “lousy.”

I think it refers to forming lines, right? I’ve still had a hard time adjusting to that little New York norm of saying online for being ‘in line.’ Whenever people say it, I still have to shake off that they don’t mean going on the web. Ah well. Life is a constant adjustment culturally. I get back in Boston, for example, and immediately want to say Pahk the cah in the Hahvad YahD or some such thing.
Stella, you’re unfortunately just part of the culture of us (I identify as one of these people) who is between cultures. You have your past, and where you live now, but you’re somewhere in between somehow. I find myself most connected to other transplants really. I go home, and I’m a New Yorker, or at least East-Coaster. And, in New York, I’m so not from there. Where is home? Hasn’t someone written about this?

Got Milk? I loved your “do you have milk?”…

Queuing? What did you mean by that (I’m a little slow)?

I’m also disquieted by the cessation of queuing. But heartened by the word “wormery.”
