ChiKat, I can top you for the "craxy", babe. Ok, I have a friend/obsession on the other side of town here who is a cyclist and tells me all the time the godawful mileage he pedals just to feel macho and make me go "And nobody was chasing you?" and stuff. I tell you that because one week in the summer I couldn't get hold of him...then I saw on the news about a cyclist getting crushed by a truck not far by crazy-mileage standards...I became somewhat convinced it was him, though in some way I knew it wasn't rational, and was like collection-agent devoted to establishing contact...it was a very Phoebe Buffet moment. But I didn't say "Oh, God, I'm so glad you weren't crushed by a semi!" He would have probably asked if that was a Buffista thing, though, so I could have... Does the dream feel better now?

Yay, Aidan!

ChiKat, I'm sorry you had that nightmare. Ick.

I think I need a Hanna Andersson intervention. Seany, did you just sign onto MSN Messy?

in annoying news today when I went to the grocery store I relized my bank card and DL were at home - so I had to use a credit card. This is not helpful when I am trying not to use the damn thing.

Deena, I'm sorry, but I have to give the credit to Kara. She does excellent minion-training, and, for her upper-level minions (which, of course, include siblings), of course she wants them to have good problem-solving skills.

You have, of course, shown great grace in managing the household around said minion-training. I'm sure you will be well-rewarded when the time comes.

My theory is that you need good problem-solving skills to live with Kara.

Yeah, although some of the stuff she says reminds me of me, so maybe I better shut up.

Plei, you have my permission to spend $25 on Hanna, as they are long-wearing and cute. Preferably on ebay or at your thrift store. Purchases over $25 must be made by certified grandmothers only.

Heh.

eta: Chikat, looks like I will get to meet you at the F2F! I'm all excited about the idea.

Yay for ChiKat and Deena at the F2F. And Sean! And sj, who will be because her job will stop being asshats. I decree it.

One of the stores near me is using biometrics now, so you scan your thumbprint instead of a card.

Still have to put in a PIN, though, which is kind of odd. If I'ma kill somebody and chop off their thumb, chances are Cub Foods won't be the first stop in my getaway. Unless they're having a really good sale.

Yay for ChiKat and Deena at the F2F. And Sean! And sj,

Me too! (I'm just excited)
