Before I catch up on the 200 messages waiting, I first have to say SOMEWHERE, before I go scream at them:

there are children outside, who are SCREAMING and SHRIEKING very LOUDLY A LOT and they are ANNOYING THE HELL OUT OF ME.

However, were I to go yell at them, I might get my ass kicked. Sigh.

Am I the only one who read this and thought, "Wow, erika was a gang-banger?"

BWHAHAH! OK, I totally didn't read "crip camp" like that, but now I want to!!

e heard a lot of, "in or out, pick one" and "you and your little friends need to take the party outside" and "OUT!" Ah, summer

Yeah, my mom stayed home until I was in high school (when she went back to grad school). So I wonder how my brother remembers childhood--he would've been 8 or 9 when she did. But then, before that, she ran a home daycare, so he always had friends his age around, in the daycare, so he may have different memories like that, too (whereas I had....lots of books. So it was more "Get your nose out of the book and go outside and don't come back for at least an hour!").

I've read this five times, and I still can't make TAR not stand for The Amazing Race.

I was *wondering* how The Amazing Race could have an episode about amputee camp! This American Life makes much more sense. :)

There are worse chatup lines than 'Man, this chocolate orange lipgloss tastes FANTASTIC'

I would totally give that line. Or fall for it. Then again, i'm the one going to Canada because she said "Come to Toronto Pride! I have a bed!"

Gud, I think you're married to my mom.

I'm proud of you, son. Sorry about the sucky people making doing your job difficult.

See, now, that's why Gud rocks. Cause that's a kickass response! :)

HAIL SATIN!

Oooh! A picture of me and Cass from Saturday night!

See, the only thing that would make that picture better would be being told that the third person in it was really Pete in drag....

And thankfully, in the time it took to catch up, the screaming children seem to have wandered off down the block.

Gud, I'm happy to hear there's been an improvement lately.

If you hear anyone saying, "100 years? All new people!" over and over and over again, it's just me.

The oldest guy in Britain, 109 years old, apparently attributes his longevity to "cigareets, whiskey and wild, wild women".

This personal ad completely cracks me up:

Now, that's the kind of personals I'd answer and ruin it by being me. Ah, well, I can get a kick out of reading them.

So many pretty pictures!! Raq is flashdancetastic, and Jilli and Cass make me want to convert totally to the gothside. Except that my hair is slowly going blonde, so I don't know if I could pull off a true goth look. Although, I may or may not at some time convince my daughter to take me platinum blonde. We'll see how some of the darker blondes look first.

Sorry for the Bitches having bad days and, Cindy, I promise to live to 148 so I can enjoy all new people in 100 years. It's doable! Right?

{{{Everyone}} Glitter and chocolate and pr0n, oh my!

I know plenty of blonde goths. Don't let that stop you!

Hee. When I finally get out to Seattle, I'll have you do a makeover on me. I wouldn't have a clue how to goth myself up, but I really want to try to sometime.

I worked all day, came home, worked some more, ate dinner, and now I'm working again! LIFE IS AWESOME.

If what you want is to resolve the problems and repair the marriage, then she is the one to talk to. I'd even suggest not bringing up your anger here on the board, where we will automatically take your side regardless.

We've done counseling and such, so issues have been discussed. But yeah, I'm not always very good at communicating my frustrations. OTOH, when I do it often makes matters much, much worse than just letting things blow over. I always feel guilty when I post something here when I'm frustrated, but it's the only place I've got. I will try to use more discretion though.

Sounds like crunch time (nearing release) at a software company.
