The bit about them not pulling the tube no matter what is also in this week's Newsweek article. Anna Quindlan's column says she understands Michael's refusal to divorce Terri and let her parents take over care. Quindlan says it would have been a "gutless betrayal" for him to walk away and ignore Terri's wishes. The article says the first nursing home got a restraining order against Michael because he was butting into her care too much, but the nurses are quoting as saying, "He's a bastard, but if I were sick like that, I'd like him for my husband."
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Tom comes in with the obscure knowledge! I am impressed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I would recommend avoiding being kicked/hit/butted/etc. in the head until the dizziness is well gone. And maybe a call to the doctor.
Congrats, Jim and Penny! Buffistas really are busting out all over.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just printed out a picture of one of the toddlerpedes and left it sitting on the printer near my cube. I wonder what people's reactions will be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, if you need anything today, let me know okay? I would be happy to be your driver for the day. (I'm even planning on Portos later, if you are up to food.)

About Ayelet Waldman -- I didn't dislike with the column on loving her husband more than her kids, though I found it boring in the way a lot of mundane confessional writing is. But if she wants to share that about herself, okay, whatever.
But I did have a problem with the column saying she hopes her son will be gay (because then he'd shop with her), but not her daughters (because they'll judge her for shaving her legs). It just seemed like an inappropriate thing for a parent to say about their child in a public forum, and I can't explain it better than that.

Hee!
KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.
"Stop the bigotry!" the demonstrator shouted as he hurled the liquid Thursday night during the program at Western Michigan University. The incident came just two days after another noted conservative, William Kristol, was struck by a pie during an appearance at a college in Indiana.

I have a dorky school exciting thing to share: For a class, I wrote a survey for my fellow students to take. It was sent out over email this morning, and I've already got 48 responses! I love online people.
