On her way back thru the car she chooses me to tell about this man she is in love with who she met because he was stalking her but he just doesn't have much to offer. Oh, and his name is Charles Barkley.
Oh! I like him too. I should fight her for him.
M stops D half way through, puts up his hand and says, "No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'." D, a little stunned, says, "It's kinda like a turtle." M said, "Oh, ok," and skipped away.
Heh. That's a pretty cute nephew you have there.
Colbert Report is very Space Ghost tonight. It's freaky. Also freaky: I knew one of the new Apprentice contestants in law school. I'm scared of the day when she looks like a jackass...because they all do, eventually.
"No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'."
I love thinking of a 6 year old saying this.

Feh. I walk away for a phone call, miss the turnover, and barely make it into the top fifty.

Not their first time, either. They did an expose a few years back, including the religion's effect and influence on Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
Someone posted a website in the last natter that provides a rough value for your house. Does anyone remember what that website is?
Re: backpacks.
A health specialist once rather callously (but truly) replied to me when I told her that I had trouble being regular about my physical therapy exercises: "Oh, you're just not in enough pain yet."
Pain makes it so that I wear my backpack with both straps now. I don't care if it looks geeky. I'm at the age where it is more important not to be in pain. Because when my RSI is bad, I can't work. And disability doesn't pay enough to live on and I don't want to go there again. Being able to hold a job is more important than looking fashionable.
When I was in junior high, my mom bought me a tote on wheels for my books. Kids made fun of me mercilessly for using it and eventually I went back to using a backpack. Oddly enough, I see kids from the school near where I work using airport totes fairly often. And no one seems to make fun of them. So yay them. It's stupid the things we humans do to one another.
Aww, my nephew has been COMMed. Hey Daniel, I just noticed a typo (hey, I just copy & pasted what my SiL wrote) in that story. Would you mind changing "What a tortoise?" to "What's a tortoise?"?
