Did your family member write The Bill From My Father?!
Ha. No, but another book could have been written about these two. I often wanted to slap them both.

Gilmore Girls is making me sniffly.

When I was a kid, we were travelling from Ohio to visit friends in Connecticut where I was born. My dad had a receipt for $7 from the hospital that they had paid (military hospital). He threatened to return me and get his money back if I did not behave on the trip.
Is it any wonder I'm completely warped?

My parents would occasionally claim that they got me from the Second-Hand Childrens Store, and that if they could only find the receipt, they would go get their money back. IIRC, I would counter with threatening to turn them into frogs.
Kat, the pictures are wonderful. I've been thinking of Noah and Grace a lot lately.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, you're not going to get a normal one at those prices...
(Of course, by that logic, your kids are going to be freaking angels all. the. time. )

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My family never treated birth costs as an issue. Death, on the other hand, is fair game. After insurance paid up for my father's final hospital visit, the bill came to $700 something. My sister put it on his Discover card. And then she cracked a joke about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did I mention today was weird? Well, at least it's going to end soon. Sooner, if I actually stop poking around my referer logs and go to sleep.

You did.
You were right both times.

I poked around, and just bumped into this. What a completely stupid picture. I mean, do people who think she's pretty think that was a picture worth putting in GQ? Just because something might remind you of sex...that doesn't make it sexy.
I shoulda gone to bed instead. Let me fix that.

That is a stupid picture.
It rained all day yesterday and last night. Rain is a beautiful thing. May it rain all day today too. Still on Phase 3 restrictions though. But the plants are happy and the vehicles less dusty. Whee!
