Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hippo birdies, Fred Pete.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather, Kate, and sorry I won't see you Sunday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Kate. At least you got to see him recently.
I too would pay considerable sums of money to not be cuddled by strangers.
Who are these strangers that go about extorting money from people by threatening to cuddle?

WHAT THE HELL IS A CUDDLE CADDY?
I'm seeing a person with a bag full of stuffed animals and blankies.
"What do you think Pete, number four teddy bear?"
"Judging by the angle of the body language, I'd go with a number 3 blue blanket."
"Good call Pete."

Your grandfather sounds like he was an amazing person to know, Kate - much comfort and peace to you and your family.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yikes. Seven Russian sailors are trapped in a minisub with only enough air for one day. The US is rushing an unmanned sub to attempt a rescue, but they don't know if they can make it in time.
I heard this story on the radio this morning, it's a strange juxtaposition with the shuttle being up. Japan is also sending something to help, I believe.

Well, my personal life may be a miserable disaster, but at least I'm doing okay with stocks. My little slam-dunk purchase got me 21% return in two days right on the heals of my one day lucky 49% return. Now only if I was using more that a minimal amount of money for trading.
