In my case, it's friends having grandchildren that's weirding me out.

Heh. By then, I'll be everyone's Crazy Aunt Lilty, and still killing fish with reckless abandon.

My roomie had two our of classmates come to her parent/teacher conference. My first reaction was "I never did see Gary after that 8th grade dance. Good to know he's still trying."

You're due for some good luck, huh, butterbean?

I am so damned grateful to be able to ride the bus to work, with a one-block walk at either end.

DH rode the bus for a while here. The dropoff is right in front of his building downtown, but the walk to the stop is pretty far. I feel bad for pushing him to drive because it gets him home so much quicker. As it is now, his hours are too erratic now to keep with that line's schedule.

Maria, FWIW, I think a good portion of audits come back with them owing YOU money. Think how nice that would be!

The new guy my twin sister is dating has a twin bed! BWAHAHAHA! And...well...EEEWWWW.

So he's cheap and lonely....

FWIW? I planned to have a king sized bed five years ago, but really have been busy and mostly broke, what with the house payments and all.

Mentioning any future bedding plans may be seen as shameless flirting with Andi and I shall not deign to comment thereupon.

This guy owns a successful landscaping business. I'm thinking it's time for him to spring for a double, at least. However, I don't want to imagine my little sister in it. Nope. Can't think about that. Lalalalalala.

Eh. While I was pregnant with Frances, a woman I know who is two years my junior (and my brother's age) became a grandmother. We talked about it a lot--such different lives.

Speaking of the IRS, they wrote us and sent us a big fat check claiming that we had made a mistake on our taxes and they owed us. Of course, they gave us the option to disagree, but we decided to be neighborly and cash their check instead.

Hi all

Someone in another thread suggested here might be a good place to do a little intro to me.

Hello! I'm Bells. 32. Married. Aussie.

Just working my way through Series 7, which i had only ever seen the first four episodes of due to a clash with Six Feet Under two years ago. Had to make a choice. Is it a bad thing to admit here I chose SFU? Actually, truth is, a friend was taping Buffy Series 7 for us but we kinda fell out and it never happened. So we figured we'd just wait. Finally bought the whole damn show at ridiculously good prices in November. Spent most of our xmas/NY break devouring it all from the start. What a way to spend a few summer weeks!

Oh and we managed to avoid spoilers when the finale aired. Amazing, but I still don't quite know what happens to the Scoobies.

We just watched 'Conversations with Dead People' last night. Can't wait to get home and watch more - except my sister is coming for dinner. That's gonna put a dint in the Buffy viewing for a few hours...

Oh, and I was put onto this marvellous corner of the internet by someone you all know - BillyTea. How did I survive without it?

Oh, I'd give up shopping (for a month) if I could have that kind of issue with the IRS.

Maria, angela mia, if you had that kind of issue with the IRS, you wouldn't have to stop shopping for a month.
