I wish there was a thing where you could put karma-in-waiting. That way, when you are no longer able to give karma, you can put some on hold for whatever post you want, and it will automatically go in when it's allowed. I can't remember to whom I wanted to give Karma and I think I might be able to again now!
You can give karma any time you want. You just can't give it again to the same person you did last time. You must spread the wealth by giving karma to someone else first.

Commas are not a problem. Semicolons are the ones in need of assistance.

That look does rather appeal, except I would possibly add a fitted waistcoat under the jacket (my main clothing weakness!)

Yep, but there's also a limit to how many people you can karmalize (haha) in a 24 hour period. I've hit that wall, and I can't give new people karma either.

I had to google the Marathon Stick, mainly because I couldn't figure out how a 20" stick could help me walk. I pictured myself bent WAY over trying to use it as a prop!

Of course, that's not how you use it at all. You roll it on your muscles, apparently. Link here:

the only reason I have half a clue as to their usage is having worked in law offices... they are VERY fond of the little buggers!

I just changed my avatar. It was looking big and bloated. I need to finish the book I'm reading, but I'm putting it off. That can't be a good sign.
