FRL has picked up a lot of subscribers in the last few weeks. This is another reminder that if you read FRL with a blog reader such as Bloglines, I recommend you subscribe to FRL’s RSS 2 feed. That way you’ll see comments on posts as they’re added, see posts when they’re updated (sometimes I exhume older posts and add to them), and be able to listen to sound recordings (which I don’t do too often, but hey, you never know).
How do you know what FRL feed you’re subscribed to? The RSS 2 feed ends in “xml.” (The RSS 1 feed, which I can’t quite bring myself to unplug, ends in rdf.)
I just created a second RSS 2 feed that is identical to the first one, index.xml, but has a much clearer name:
https://freerangelibrarian.com/preferredrss2feedforFRL.xml
Eventually I’ll point index.xml to this feed. Right now, and for some time to come, they’ll just exist in tandem.
Oh, and I invite you to visit the site itself once a week to see what books I’m reading or planning to read, take the occasional survey, and see what else is happening in the full-color world of the Web beyond the feed.
And now I must anon, because I’m wearing a dress and sandals tonight to a “do” at the church, and I haven’t shaved my legs since before Columbus Day… I plan to fill a dishpan with warm soapy water, fill a glass with wine, and do some serious “fur removal” while I listen to the first hour of Prairie Home Companion. I hope I have enough razors for this endeavor. I wonder if I could sell the hair, to fill pillows or make wigs?

I have emancipated my legs from the razor. They have been left in their natural state since August 1999. It’s too much bother to shave them, and since I rarely wear shorts, and never wear dresses/skirts, it’s not an issue. Maybe you should consider emancipating your legs from the razor. It might give you more time for reading, writing, or blogging. 😉
I didn’t shave anything from 1977 to 1993. It was a combo of politics and saving time, and saving money on razors, et al. I felt it was pretty clear I wasn’t a prepubescent girl or a Barbie (TM) doll. However, I eventually ended up in a position where I had to represent MPOW to the public. I wore pant suits, I wore very long skirts, I wore black tights. I got really tired of pant suits and long skirts and black tights and my boss was still unhappy. I neglected to mention this is a pretty buttoned-up section of the east coast. So I caved, clogging many drains, cutting myself much, HATING stubble, feeling…like it is all ridiculous. The family members who spent better than 15 years complaining about my furry limbs DIDN’T NOTICE when I started shaving. Am I a better or different representative of MPOW? I still haven’t figured that one out. It’s back to another discussion of library/ian marketing.
Oh dear. . . if I am in for a future in which I am forced to buy a razor, I may have to switch fields. So far, so good, though. I do wear skirts (of all lengths) to my current library job, though I do try to avoid wearing sleeveless garments. (I also try to avoid wearing clothing with holes or stains. . . really, I’m making an effort).
