Oh, I found the show horribly smarmy and boring once I had to watch it my kids. Apparently, I loved it as a kid, though -- my mom says I watched it all the time.

I get that kids have a sense of entitlement these days, which is obnoxious. I don't get how Mr. Rogers could be to blame. I guess I should read the article, huh? ::guilty smile::

The Gloomcookie!Clan and Cash pictures are wonderful.

Sorry for everyone's aches and pains today. ::spreads helath~ma liberally::

Nice chair, juliana, but WHERE did you put it?

In the bay window. I deflated the workout ball, since I go to the gym now. It's tight, but it works. Kinda. M was teasing me about it (the space and spending the money on that instead of a motorcycle), and I told him that I'm trying to make my living space my own instead of waiting to move (in with him or somewhere else), so he can back off, unless he wants me in his Jacuzzi all the time.

Did I mention I'm PMSing? At least I was funny about it.

I LOVE that chair, Juliana, and I hope you don't mind if I sendthe link to Jason, as it may be the very thing we are looking for--namely classic, stylish and cheap.

M has a jacuzzi?

And I hear you on the making your own place livable. I've been looking for a new place (Craigslist) instead of waiting for Boyfriend Move-In Time.

I also love your new chair, juliana. Very chic.

unless he wants me in his Jacuzzi all the time.

Trying to figure out how this is a threat.

Mr. Rogers gave me the major creeps, on the line of "If I knew you in real life, I'd be hiding behind my mother" creeps.

Of course not! It's nice and it's on sale! Friends should help friends shop, is what I always say.

It's quite firm in a way that would be uncomfortable in a big armchair or chair and a half, which is what I want in a bigger place, but the firmness works for that chair - it kinds of grounds it and lets you know that despite the smallish size, you're sitting on something solid. I read half of Allyson's book on it last night!

M has a jacuzzi?

Ayup. But he doesn't have the kitchen & bedroom/living room separated like I do. Trade-offs.

Trying to figure out how this is a threat.

You've met the bear. The bear likes his cave and is wary of intruders.

I hear you on the making your own place livable.

We should go shopping for apartment stuff together! Or, you know, just hang out.

GC, I forgot to tell you that I LOVE your family pic. I'm sorry it was taken in poor circumstances, but I love family pictures.

juliana, that's a beautiful chair.

Also, how's your back these days?

I can't get over how well it's doing. When I broke down last time, I thought I'd have to get another injection. But the round of oral steroids did a bang up job. Coupled with the fact that I joined Lifetime Fitness and started swimming four times a week, I've been relatively pain free.

When I do have pain, it's because I've overdone it and it's still mostly in my left side (due to the fall on the patio). I'm hoping to not have to get any injections this year.

Mmmm jacuzzi. That's what I need here. It is too hot to use one at home in the summer, but here it would be grand. My toes are cold. It is only 65F now.

I used to live in Mr. Roger's neighborhood! Really, we went to the same grocery store. It was delivery so I never actually saw him, but I knew which house was his. I didn't enjoy his show, but he was well loved in Pittsburgh.
