This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Because books.

All kinds of ~ma headed toward your parents, ChiKat. That's a tough situation.

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?

Thanks, y'all.

I hope your mom knows that she is not doing wrong.

I think intellectually she does know it, but its tearing her up on several levels. She feels like she's abandoning him and it hurts because he is getting worse and that's not good, either.

And I feel pretty useless right now being 600 miles away. I can't even be there and bring wine.

Punishingly Intricate

ugh, ChiKat, that's a rough situation. I hope everything goes as easily as possible for both of your folks.

MANAMANA!

You’re evil. But we knew that.

From Steph’s link

Several times daily contract and release that muscle in sets, as many times as you comfortably can. At first you may not be able to do more than 10-15 at a time, but with time you should be able to do several hundred a day.

Boy Kegels!

I have been volunteered to work the WF booth for the AsthmaWalk this Saturday.

Two words – comp. time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

More words: Week Of Caring, company-wide expectation of volunteering and community service, looking good to the boss. At least it's being sociable and giving people things, instead of cleaning up highways or summat.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you have front air bags? How tall is he? Can't he fit in the other seat in the back?

Heh. I knew that you would ask those questions. He's 4'8". More than 80 lbs. We do have a passenger side front air bag.

What's the recommendation now anyway?

He could probably fit in the other side of the back, but he frequently naps on the way home on our commute and he couldn't do that with that car seat there.

How about if I put him in the recline position?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor Suzi's mom. I hope the pain level goes down/gets better managed really soon.

Always Anti-fascist!

My brain does that to me, for not much reason, Hec. I cut off(well, Mom, did) tons of hair yesterday.
