It's worse.

Nestler requested that Letterman, who tapes his show in New York, stay at least 3 yards away and not "think of me, and release me from his mental harassment and hammering."

According to the letter of the article, his thinking, "Somebody in New Mexico has a restraining order on me," violates the order.

Puppy Question of Grossness Dallas has a stuck poo. What do I do? She's hiding under the bed and whimpering.

Trudy if you can get her. Lay her gently on her back, or side, and try pumping her hind legs.

I've never had a dog, but I've helped children and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Otherwise, see if you can get her to drink. You might check with a vet to see if you have or can get any children's suppositories, if you can adminster one to her.

We were at Toys R Us, tonight. There was an announcement over the P.A. system alerting all employees to a "Code Adam." I thought I was going to die. The second announcement gave details--a little girl, all dressed in pink, and her name, but I knew just from hearing "Code Adam" what it must be. It seemed to take at least 10 minutes to resolve. Employees were pretty good about patrolling all the aisles. I never saw the parent or the little girl, but the announcement was eventually canceled. I cried when it was.

Though I am not denying the hotness of Slade.

Mmmm....Slade.

Hey, did you know my Aunt's middle name's Rose Wilson? I had to share, because it's funny.

Uh-oh. Is she a crazy vigilante/villain/something?

Cindy, I have been in Walmart a few times when they called a Code Adam. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes, and then again, happy sniffles when it's over.

Uh-oh. Is she a crazy vigilante/villain/something?

She's a retired grade school teacher in her late 70s with a lot of Queen Elizabeth II teacups and a vast, well-tended garden, so, sadly, nope.

Boy, you folks are a lot more kind hearted than I am. When I hear a Code Adam around here I just think, "He's in the next aisle from you, folks, did you look before you panicked?"

Then again, we get a lot more Code Adams here.

missing kids at the library - usually a kid reading in a corner. however, there was that time when the 6 yr old girl was found about a mile from the library - because she decided she wanted to go home.... and there were some big streets she crossed. That was scary and I didn't even know the kid...

children's suppositories,

Trudy, I'm sure you've gotten this taken care of by now, but I, like Cindy, have recent experience with this. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

There was a woman who lost her son at the mall 2 weeks ago. I only saw her - running through the crowd, pushing a stroller with an infant, sobbing. It has been haunting me. It takes me about .5 seconds to go from stranger-lost-her-son to what-if-it-was-Ellie.

Well, I'm off to contribute to the low end of the curve. Wish me luck!
