Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I have been a world-class cougher in my day, and I have found that only codeine, sugar and alcohol work. Hard candy seems to work just as well as cough drops. Sometimes little sips of straight alcohol will stop a coughing fit.

Okay, zenkitty's "little tombstone" story is worse than mine, although this woman has thrown around the "die in a nursing home" statistic. It was just to the patient's niece and sister, not to the patient herself.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Feb. 15 - Police in Fort Worth, Texas, are looking for a crook who needs some help with his spelling.

Someone cut a hole in the roof of a Linens and Things Store, then broke into a safe. Police say the thief took cash and left something behind -- a message.

Officers found a partly eaten birthday cake in the store's break room. A note on the bulletin board read: "Happy B-Day, From Ur Friendy Rooftop Boogler."

So far, no arrests have been made.

Happy Birthday, Beverly! May the coming year be as wonderful as you are. And may there be lots of zero-calorie pie, too.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy Birthday, Beverly!!!!

I'm finally putting away the Christmas decorations.

I never even put any up because of my laziness. I think I have you beat.

shrift & Fay in Chicago? That would be happy-making. Sit back and picture: shrift, Fay, brenda m, aurelia, Kalshane, tommyrot and Kathy A. all in one place. Add in SA and Sail (she's close enough to drive down). I'll take pictures and post them, I promise.

Has anyone mentioned this fence from a yard in NY on Friday? Cool.

I'm all for more Buffistas in the Chicago area! Not that I need more excuses to go down to visit, but every little bit helps.

Hey we made it up to Tahoe intact. It only took 9 hours. (usually its a 3.5 hour trip)

However, now that we're up here we're having fun with snowball fights and poker. Sledding begins at 3pm.

Hec, you could have had that here with only a 4 hour plane ride. IJS.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Afternoon, all. Cold here too. I'm making homemade chicken soup - smells iniony but good.

So, let me ask: I REALLY don't want to leave the house anymore today. Got my period, have cramps, it's FUCKING cold, and....I've been out a lot lately.

But I'm supposed to maybe see the boy tonight.

Do y'all think it's too early for an "in" date? Like, come over, have some soup or something, bring a DVD, and I'll maybe make popcorn? I mean, is it too soon for such a thing?

This is why I hate dating. What are the fucking rules? Or standards, or list of faux pas, or SOMETHING!

Erin, I only think it's too soon if you think it's too soon. If you're comfortable having him laying about your apartment, then I say go for it.
