Hey, did we all know that US postage is going up tomorrow? 39 cents for a letter now.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

What is even happening?
In news of me, can I get some stop-being-so-fucking-stupid-ma directed at my dad? Broke his ankle yesterday. Fishing. In the winter. Fortunately, he slipped on the pavement before he even got to the standing in the river in the midde of fucking winter part, or god knows what could have happened.
Ooouch. I'm thinking the break probably gave him as much of that ~ma as any of us can absorb at one time. I'ma send hopes for good and quick healing (and retention of lesson~ma), and some peace of mind for you, instead.
The comparison is apt enough, but Desperate Housewives never really grabbed me the way BoD seems to have the potential to. I certainly don't see why BoD should be any more controversial than DH.
Scott and I forgot it was on, and put on our s1 Lost DVDs. My (v. Christian) mother watched it in the other room. She came in about 15 minutes past the hour and said it was good. I was under the impression that it was a half hour show, and so half over, so I didn't switch (we were catching up on Lost). If I'd realized it was an hour long show, and that they were showing two hours, I would have given it a go. She said she thought it was no more [insert some sort of synonym for shocking, controversial, heretical, or whatever here] than Joan of Arcadia was, and can't understand the uproar over it.
Hey, did we all know that US postage is going up tomorrow? 39 cents for a letter now.It's still a pretty good deal, imo. I think there was a comedian who did a bit to that effect, a long time ago, but I'm blanking on the who and the how.

Lovely Babies!
I had missed that somehow Jesse. Yesterday I went to the Post Office and bought 2 sheets of stamps and never looked at them. I just pulled them out to check. The clerk asked me if I wanted Blue Birds or Flags and I said one of each. Both types just say First Class and no amount. Never noticed the price change. Duh.

Ouch Brenda! Ankle breaks can be very nasty. Did they put him in a cast, or put pins in? Ouch.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
They gave him a temporary cast, and are putting a real one on on Monday. So I'm guessing it can't be too bad, right. Also the dumbass walked around on it all day and didn't decide to go to the hospital until late last night. He also hit his head pretty hard, so I'm hoping there's no lasting concern there. We'll know more when my sister gets home.

Um, yeah, not so likely. But I'll gladly take the rest of it.

Parents. Can live with 'em. Can't shoot 'em, unless you've got an airtight alibi, and even then I'd preemptively lawyer up.
My f-i-l broke his ankle last year. It was a tub slip sort of accident, but he waited forever and a day to get it checked, and once the break was discovered, was nothing but bullheaded about keeping his appointments, and even then, he mostly didn't, unless there was a new crisis (like sudden swelling, italicious bruising out of nowhere, etc.). My sympathies.
I hope the rest of the news is good.

Ack, Brenda. Your poor dumbass dad. I mean that in the nicest way, of course.
It's still a pretty good deal, imo. I think there was a comedian who did a bit to that effect, a long time ago, but I'm blanking on the who and the how.
Oh, totally.

Ah, if he was walking around on it that doesn't sound too horrible. Hope the checkup sounds good.
When my sister broke her ankle shoveling her deck it was a bloody awful thing, literally. Ow!
I've never broken anything, neither has Mom at 84, so good bones here. Yay milk!

Always Anti-fascist!
Jesse, that is totally bitchin', except for "Three Men..." makes me cry every time. Because Timmy gets So. Close. and it always looks like this time he's gonna know the right thing to say.
And I'm still on topic because you can't say "sexuality kerfuffle" without mentioning the 4700 times Secor answered "So is Bayliss gay, or what?"
"No, he's bisexual."
"No shit. Really? On TV?"
I at least have to give Secor props for trying to give different answers every time.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I enjoyed the Book of Daniel, too. I do think they piled on the drama in the first half but this was the premier, so maybe they sought to grab folks and reel them in quickly.
