Stephanie, you've got to be exhausted. Everything grates on me when I'm exhausted.
Lilty, I am so sorry for your cousin's SIL and family. How awful. I hope her parents get home in time to say goodbye.
I was on the phone with my best friend the day of that accident. She was waiting to hear from her daughter who'd headed to Bar Harbor that morning, and hadn't yet. L is going away to college in a few weeks. She and her friends were taking a little trip together before they go their separate ways. L beeped in while were were on the phone, finally. It had taken them 11 hours to get there (I think it's like a 6 hour trip from here). They knew there was a terrible accident, because they were parked on the turnpike for hours.
Cindy, your new tagline made me laugh. Very funny in a twisted way.
Thanks. It is sick, but I need to laugh right now, even if it is a dark laugh.
DISCLAIMER: No baby seals were harmed in the making of this tag.
The Wally report: I had a date today, met a woman for lunch. I doubt it'll go anywhere (she didn't seem very excited when I told her about the mimic octopus! Go figure!) but she was pleasant company and all. Oh, and she said she was impressed I was so up-front when she asked about how things stood between me and Bec, and that it sounded like I had things together.
So, like I said, I doubt it's going anywhere, but there are surely worse ways to spend an afternoon. Oh, and I've put up a new pic of myself, dressed in a suit. That's a side of me that doesn't really appear within my profile; and besides, I reckon I look good in a suit.
As a general rule, men look lovely in suits and tuxes. More casual styles seem to depend more on the particular man and his particular looks, but I can't think of a man I've seen, who has looked bad in a well fitted suit or tuxedo.
I was just drawing a picture of a hedgehog (in Photoshop), and was zoomed way in to detail the quills, when my DH took a break from the paper he's writing, came around, looked at my monitor, and said "DINSDALE?!?!?"

One site I signed up to wouldn't let me use my moniker of choice (billytea, of course), so instead I signed in as SpinyNorman.

I'm trying to decide whether this would be appealing or not. I guess it depends on whether the reader gets the reference or not.
But hey - a date! Always good to keep in practice, even if it doesn't become a relationship. And guys in suits are hot.
But I have an enormous amount of respect for truckers, because most of them are hard-working, conscientious and considerate people, who have a very good grasp of just how big and powerful a vehicle they're driving, and the mayhem it can cause
This too. My grandfather is a trucker, and he's very good and very responsible. He won a Trucking Rodeo, and was deemed the best in the state! He could have gone on to the Nationals, but my grandmother didn't want to go to California. (Did you know there was a Trucking Rodeo? I didn't.)
Cindy, that really does make for a long trip. I guess it closed things down so long they had to postpone a special meeting of the State Senate because no one could get there in time.
ION, my father watched my mom strap on the elbow supports her physical therapist got her for her tendonitis, hop in the truck, and come over to help me move without ever once getting off his ass. I had to call my grandfather to help us. Now, they're getting the bed over to the house and my father will no doubt be grouchy because I depend on someone else more than him.
Ah, and the circle of resentment starts anew. Same as it ever was. Any moving ~ma would be greatly appriciated.
