'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Heh. It's always a good day when you get to provoke a quadruple cross-post!

I have written out many mother's day cards,

Jesse, how many mothers do you have?


Jesse - May 04, 2005 10:34:49 am PDT #1303 of 10001
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just the one mother, but then two grandmothers, and then I saw a card "from the cat" which I decided I had to send to my aunt, because she's always sending me cards and I never reciprocate. So I got four mother's day cards.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A forensic accountant testified that Michael Jackson owed $285 million more than he had in assets about the time a damaging documentary was aired, bolstering prosecutors’ claims that financial distress led the superstar to panic.

Can I just say that I love the fact that there is such a thing as a forensic accountant? I am now imagining the opening scene in Quincy, except that instead of a coprse, he lifts a sheet off of some fucked-up general ledgers....

Jesse is a good person.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Allyson, to kind of condition her to NOT scratch it, try putting double sided tape on it.

Unless your cat is a freak like mine, who loves to EAT the tape...

the Unconversation

I love it!

Jesse is a good person.

I am currently avoiding writing to the family friend in prison, if that helps. And of course it's all in service of avoiding school work.

I used to have the best Unconversations with my old boss. "Did you do the thing?" "Yeah, the copy is in the file."

Coding and Sleeping

Aimee, The 4-door 2001 Windstar LX has keyless entry as a standard feature. The 3-door 2001 Windstar LX does not. The link below gives you a secret way to tell if keyless entry is installed. [link]

Also, you can order a remote from the same place for 30 bucks.

Edit: Ours is a 2002 Windstar LX, so practically the same thing.

Unconversations is a great term. I have them with Kat in spades, but also with my longtime softball teammates, and with my climbing buddies.

Jesse, wanna do our dishes? That'll help with the avoiding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My sister is beginning to insist on unconversations. I understand the urge. We're an avoidant family that way. "So did you, um?" "No!" "But you did..." "Well, yeah, a couple times." And we didn't have so say the words along with which come the pcitures.
