Happy Birthday, Jessica!
Right there with you, Betsy. I don't even know what in the hell the neighbors are doing but it just got quiet and I realized how loud it really was... The silence is just wow. And not total silence, just normal sounds.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy Birthday, Jessica!
Betsy, it's a lovely day. I recommend relocating elsewhere.

If I only had a brain...
I recommend relocating elsewhere.
But I LURVE the Bay Area.
Out to do groceries.

'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"
I ended up taking a rather longer drive than I intended to on my way to the bank, because the route I knew was closed for paving, of all things. And the local police didn't do anything like set up DETOUR signs, oh no. So I drove through mysterious streets of one-ways and dead ends, missed my turn back onto the main street after the paving ended and wandered some more, including through a cemetary and a golf course.
During my drive I happened upon what may be the most unfortunate name for a business ever, at least in my own personal experience. It was so new that it still had a "Grand Opening" sign on the storefront. It was a sun-tanning parlor... named "Blisters."
As God is my witness, I am not making this up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Terrified children didn't know what to do as they watched a young boy hang himself from a tree at the 8:45 p.m. screening.
OK, that's pretty bad, but isn't 8:45 a little late for a 5 year old to start watching a movie??

On a Friday, all bets are off. Let the kid stay up late, and you may be able to sleep late.

Apparently, Oprah didn't believe Tom when he appeared on her show.
"I was not buying — not buying or not buying," Winfrey said of Cruise's declarations of love. "That's why I kept saying to 'you're gone, you're really gone.'"

Besides, it's NYC, the city that never sleeps. Evidently, including the kids.

I read that he's gone into overdrive trying to recruit her for Scientology. Big mistake, as people who consider themselves godesses rarely look for other religions to follow.
