Raq, that's awful. I hope you can get re-posted soon.
I get some sort of ant infestation about every 18 months or so. Ant traps usually deal with it. It doesn't help that I have plants that go outside in the nice weather and inside when it's freezing. I might as well put out a sign that says, "Ant-friendly bus stop".
There's a house in my neighborhood that has the Masonic compass inscribed on a tile on the chimney. I have fun coming up with Super Secret Conspiracy stories about it.
Thanks guys...maybe I should get my dad's Masonic stuff my step-mom just sent me and pile it on the Powers-That-Be inbox, in case the conversation-intersection reference will help.
No fez though. It probably won't work without a fez.
Raq, that's awful. Much ~ma headed your way as you try to decide what to do.
Aimee, I'm glad Emeline is feeling better.
I have achieved nappage. The headache is not gone, but is a little better...hopefully well enough to get a few hours of work done.
Gosh yes. Best possible choices ~ma Raq.
God. How awful.
You only need the fez if the Masons are Shriners.
Of course, there is loads of Masonic stuff in DC and I've been informed that if I were to take my memorobilia to the Temple in Alexandria, they'd be mighty pissed that I have stuff that must be kept secret.
Maybe I'll do it...
vw - I think you sent your headache out to me. I have felt off all morning and I just realized that I have a headache just lurking, waiting for the exact right (wrong?) moment to attack.
C called and asked if she could go home sick. Her stomach is bothering her. It has been for a few days - but with no health insurance, there is not a ton a can do right now. I feel awful for her.
I think Raq should sweetly say to the assailant's mother that her wonderful example of failing to own up to her child's actions has helped ever so much with our conception of What Not To Do in Parenting.
I'd like to think that after that would be the time for a good hard kick to the knee, but I'm afraid that would not be the high road. Perhaps just pouring a soda over her head?
Raq, better situation ~ma. I think that, someday, Mallory will benefit from seeing his Mother call an asshat an asshat. Possibly after pre-school, though.
I hope C feels better soon, MG.
Poor MG! I didn't mean to share!
