I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

What is even happening?

Oh, also -- the temp who was out yesterday? Got bit by a dog! On her nose! I was totally assuming she just bagged out on working, and wouldn't be in today, either.
I just heard from my mother that a moose once dog recently bit my sister cousin's nose. Off. Well, part of it.

She was at her (other side of her family) cousin's ex's house for a party. My cousin grew up with a dog, has dogs now, and is a dog person, in general. The dog was gentle and friendly during the whole party. When my cousin got up to leave, the dog bit a chunk of her nose off, out of the blue. The dog is a Pit Bull, I guess, and apparently has bitten someone else, before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmog! This was not a bite off, just a bite on. An English Bulldog, I think. They were having kisses when the dog got bitey. Oops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My mother told me we'd get mumps if we let dogs (or cats, I'm pretty sure) get too close to our face.

Totally beats teeth in your nose.

I do enjoy getting confirmation of my no-licking-the-face policy. That means you too, msbelle!!!

Pretty much. I overheard part of my mother's end of the conversation, and thought, "I can't be hearing what I think I'm hearing."

I think she's been rather insisty that her cousin's ex put down the dog. I'm not the dog lover she is. I love certain dogs I know well, but am not all around crazy about dogs. I think I would have been up there with some Kibble a la D-Con (as I don't own a gun).

This was not a bite off, just a bite on. An English Bulldog, I think. They were having kisses when the dog got bitey. Oops.
Yikes. Was it her own dog?

Is anyone here on LinkedIn? It seems to be a Friendster for professional connections. And therefore slightly more likely to pay off. But I was wondering if it had, for anyone.

Neighbor dog. So, a potentially even stickier situation. She doesn't really feel any animosity toward the dog, but if it's a biter, it should be put down, but she doesn't want to start a fight with her neighbors, blah blah blah.

OK. I have two hours in which I want to write approx. one page. Will I be able to get it done? Stay tuned!

Possibly the funniest Overheard in New York EVAR.

So that's a no on the "having started writing the page," huh?

On the other hand--that's pretty funny. Worthy of a sober person.

I'm like a quarter done. Or more. Depending on how you look at it.
