{{{Teppy}}} It's ok to NOT be the rock sometimes.

I just took a four hour nap. My bedtime is sooooooo screwed.

Aww, you guys, so sweet, with the warm welcomes and flattery re. my Buffistological qualifications! Honestly, I doubt I'm up for the challenge of squeezing myself into a longstanding, tight-knit community such as this, though I will take comfort that, on the basis of the above, y'all may think me slightly less creepy in my lurkery here and elsewhere on the boards.

On the other hand, now that I'm here, and while I've always sent silent ~ma as due:

Yay Cashmere on the baby girl! My best friends had one o' those not two days ago; very squee!

Yay Stephanie! Your strength and achievement over recent months has been inspiring; what a lovely reward.

{Teppy}

Cheers all!

p.s. Tommyrot, Shambles is just an old, eerily prophetic family nickname, but thanks for the link -- provided a good laugh and, if I may say, a rather nifty tag.

p.p.s. Jilli, no reason you would know me, I just meant that I skulk around in the shadows of various LJ communities too. Sorry if you or anyone else thought I was riding in here on your frock-coat-tails.

I didn't think that at all! I was just trying to figure out if I knew you, if you were a long-lost a.g.f-er suddenly popping up, or something else along those lines.

{{Teppy}} I hope tomorrow is better for you.

A fascinating and unique analysis of outfield defensive prowess. It validates what the eye sees - Ichiro is the best defensive outfielder in the game.

That's a nice piece of analysis, Hec. Thanks for the link.

I just signed up for a philosophy course at my local community college. I haven't taken a college class in 20 years. Exciting and scary.

Beh, I hope J gets some medical answers and some peace soon. Worrying yourself into a fret over health is just never a good thing.

That's why I t cue product shot of Crank choose just getting totally pissy.
A friend called for some tech help setting up her new cable modem and wireless. I booked home, checked the provider's site for information, called her back and had to leave a message, texted her cell telling her to call me when she got home and waited.
For over two hours.
I just called her and whoops, she got distracted and was cuddling with her honey who was getting ready to go to work so could she call me back?
I basically told her to forget it and hung up rather quickly.
It's late, I hurt and frankly I don't like people asking for favors and then blowing me off.
Especially since she is married to a pretty tech-y guy and I don't have a clue while he isn't just hooking up the new internet connection.
Just feels like I am being taken advantage of and we hateses it.

Hey, JSw!

Oh! Have fun learning, Zen!

And even with a couple of minutes reflection, I am overreacting. She shouldn't have asked for help and then blown me off but, eh...

Cass, I think it's a pretty crappy thing to do. I'd be upset, too.

Zen, I think that's great! Ignore the tag, by the way.

Hi Cass!

I don't think you are over-reacting. It's okay to be miffed at being dangled around like that. (I'm not a puppet, dammit) I would still help and all, but I would brook no cat herding on the timing and availability. (stompy foot -- we are opposed to cat herding tendencies of our friends these days, yes indeedy.)

I was at fight practice tonight, and seem to need one more ice bag than I have. I'm all Ibu'ed up. Perhaps I should consider the sleep thing. Busy busy day at work tomorrow.

well, what I think ( hope) is that J is haveing a mild allergic reaction. and his brain is going into funky conspiracy worlds...

Welcome Shambles....

and I'd be miffed too Cass...
