Hubby saw a boy come in one day who said, "Oh, a fireplace! Darn, it's not lit." The staff said, "We can turn it on for for you, no problem." It's reassuring to see examples of humanity whose primary reaction isn't, "Why are you bothering me? You're just trying to make work for me."
Yeah, it is. When I went to Borders to see They Might Be Giants, there was a girl at the entrance greeting, and she asked me if I were there to see the show, and I said yeah. She asked if I had any questions, and I said, "...What kind of questions would I have?" She said, where it is, when it is. "It's up there," I said. Afterwards, I felt like I'd been rude, but I was just really confused by someone being, you know, helpful.
SJ! I'm glad to know you are doing better!
Thanks Lilty. I am so sick of not feeling well.
You know one time this weekend I had a big coughing spasm in the kitchen and fell to my hands and knees. Leif took that moment to climb onto my back so he could reach the donuts on the counter.

It's all about seizing the opportunity.
Bwah! How old are your kids now, Gud?
Leif is two and a half, and my daughter is five.
sj, I'm so glad you're feeling better.
Aimee, they'd be foolish not to cast you. And then they'd be zombies.
Thanks, everyone! It's nice to know I'm not alone in the struggle. (Freeeeeeeeeeee-dom!)
beej, I'm calling my rep's office right after lunch. erika put it best: "Tax problems suck."
