Huh. I was born the year Laura graduated from high school.
Perkins didn't kill my ganked wireless connection right away. She lulled me into a false sense of security first. Don't let your guard down, ita!

You are not alone in that...
Sadly, Mrs Helpful is one of her ice packs.
No. That can't be it. That's much too boring.
Oops! Meant to say that I hope you're not in too much pain, Perk. You're on vacation... there shouldn't be pain on vacation!
Um...I didn't say where I was applying it...
Nope, I got nothing.

Hey! Well it was a good year.
Cemetery can't find dad's grave
Mary Hurst lost her father for the first time on Nov. 10, 1966, the day cancer took his life.
Now she feels like she's lost him all over again after calling St. Sava Cemetery near Libertyville, where she attended his burial. She learned officials there can't find his grave, and that may mean she won't be able to fulfill the wish of her 80-year-old mother--who is dying--to be buried alongside her husband.
"When you entrust these people with this, you expect them to take care of it," Hurst said from her home in Ft. Worth. "Think about it. Just think about what they've done. You have my mother's last wishes, which can't be taken care of."
A St. Sava Cemetery official acknowledges poor record keeping and wonders whether Hurst's father may be buried in an unmarked grave. Another possible explanation he offers is that documents may have been lost when the cemetery changed hands in the late 1970s after a bitter split in the Serbian Orthodox Church.
....
A third option is that they re-sold the plot to someone else. There was a big class-action lawsuit in LA about this a few years ago. The cemetery was disinterring bodies, re-selling the plots, burying the new folks, repeat.
Hey! Well it was a good year.
What are talking about, Laura? You were stoned. You probably don't even remember it. Duuuuude!
I was supposed to go to a family BBQ today but it was canceled. On one hand, now I can defeat a few piles of dirty laundry. On the other hand, I was counting on someone else feeding me today.
Freaky optical illusions involving perception of color: [link]
Our perception of colour is strongly affected by the surrounding colours.

Illusion 3 is by far and away the most incredible effect I've ever seen. I've analysed the RGB descriptions and the colours are identical...I just can't make myself believe what I'm seeing.
Part of me suspects a trick, as these involve Shockwave. I dunno. But it fits with the fact that a lump of coal in sunlight reflects more light (and thus should be "whiter") than a white piece of paper in typical indoor lighting. Our eyes and brains adjust our perceptions to fit what makes sense in the given light.
