[she-of-emeralds.livejournal.com]

Hi folks, I have some coats and jackets to sell. Three are in excellent condition, the fourth is in good condition. I regret having to part with them, but none of them will ever fit me again.

They are all in women's sizes.

( brown leather jacket, size large, $60 )

( purple winter coat, size 1X, $60 )

( flannel coat of many colors, size 1X, $40 )

( black trenchcoat, removable lining, size 18, $30 )

same day glasses?

Hey, I broke my glasses frames yesterday, and am though my husband was able to repair them with superglue, I'm not confident in how long they will hold up.

I seem to recall that LensCrafters can make glasses on the same day you visit them (though I could be wrong), and am wondering a) if anybody can confirm this, and b) whether there are any local eyeglass places that provide the same service.

From the latest New Yorker:

"In late May of this year, a few weeks shy of her fiftieth birthday, my youngest sister, Tiffany, committed suicide. She was living in a room in a beat-up house on the hard side of Somerville, Massachusetts, and had been dead, the coroner guessed, for at least five days before her door was battered down."
