I'm glad to hear that the PT and traction are helping out, Gar.
I am heading to Portland in the morning for five days of "finding a nice neighborhood to move to soon." Any tips?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
*I* knew where Gar was. And you call yourself a file keeper!
(Okay, so it helps that he moved to a city I lived in for five years or so, but still! My Files and Records fu beat yours!)
Your fu totally crushes me.
Teppy, doesn't that remind you of Ple's Bosom o' Doom picture?

Because books.
Whoo hoo! Step away from the board for a minute (okay, two hours) and a baby is born! Welcome to the planet, Olivia Rose! Congratulations Cash and DH and Owen!
Get out! Where did you live in Wilmington? We're probably related! (oh, and, AmyLiz, you're the one who is also related to Daniel Boone like I'm supposed to be, right? Maybe we're double-related!)
Um, wow, I don't even know. My parents grew up on Tatnall Street and went to P.S. DuPont High School, but we moved to Newark when I was about a year old. But I know where the Charcoal Pit is! And yeah, I'm the Daniel Boone person, too! Weird. We probably *are* related.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Missouri has some great town names.
Those names rock. I had a linguist friend who had an index card file of odd town names. There were some good 'uns.
There was an article in the SF Comical recently on our sprawl problems but I can't find it now. Suffice it to say that some idiot developer is building a housing development 6 feet below sea level in the Sacramento Valley. That's how bad things are. That after Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans, a developer would still think that's a good idea. Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congratulations Cashmere! I like the name.
Not really. The Philly burbs are friendly, and I made lots of friends when I lived there. Lots of waving and smiling, and what have you.
Bec made lots of very good friends there. But then, she always does. Anyway, I didn't find the people terribly unfriendly. They were friendlier than I was, in all probability. And they kept inviting me to sit on their juries! Wasn't that welcoming of them?
The cost of living difference is huge. If I were in Aimee and Joe's situation (wee one and all), I would want a home of my own and frankly California is just beyond crazy about housing prices.
Ayup. I mean, by Australian standards I was paying a lot, but Philly was far cheaper than places like NYC, SF and LA.
Incidentally, were I to move back to America, I think the places I'd put at the top of the list are Chicago and San Diego.
Current mayor of Philadelphia was booed at the opening of the Phillies new stadium.
Hee. That seems fair to me.
Incidentally, for his birthday last year I got my nephew an official Eagles Superbowl jersey. He's completely rapt with it.

Mostly lurking...
Patiently awaiting pics of vw after her salon day.
You’re gonna have to wait a little longer. I have to wait till Emily gets home from class. I SUCK at taking pictures of myself.
Congratulations Cashmere! Yay for Olivia! And I agree…such a lovely name.
Lots of ~ma for Joe and Aimee.
I’m feeling tired and frustrated. I should want to go out tonight, but I don’t. I think I might cancel my plans. Ugh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Congrats Cahmere!
Lots of whatever sort of ~ma is required for MM and Aimee.
In mememe news, I may have gotten an internship. It's not quite sure yet, but it's looking pretty good. And it looks like a really interesting job. Fingers crossed until I know for sure.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Someone tell my brain to stop.
I've been earwormed with "Love the one you're with."
That wasn't the real problem.
The real problem started when the brain started to impose the Ewok "jub jub" song into the mix.
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one
You love, honey
Love the one you're with
jub nub
Love the one you're with
jub nub
Love the one you're with
doo doot doo doot dootdoot doodoot
jub nub
