You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

There's a book out there with a llama mama in it.

I think it's Is Your Mama a Llama? I bought that for niecey and she loves it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Michael Vick, the NFL quarterback who was running dogfights, will plead guilty and will do jail time, and may be banned from the NFL for life.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

But how many licks does it take to reach the spicy brains center of the Pete flavored Tootsie Roll Pop?

Sadly, what with Peev having a cast-iron skull, she hasn't found out yet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Isn't Runaway Bunny the creepy stalker one?

You're thinking of I Love You Forever, where the mom drives over to her adult son's house to snuggle him in the middle of the night. It *is* creepy and yet I still can't read the book aloud to my kids without crying. It doesn't help that I first read it when my mother was dying, and now I can't escape the memory of that first reading.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think it's Is Your Mama a Llama? I bought that for niecey and she loves it.
Exactly!

Hivemind strikes again.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

oh Cass! one of the women in my office is a rep for, I think, Partylite or something. Candles, anyway. She had a catalogue out - page after page of candles and every time I saw it, I thought how you'd love it.

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

It occurrs to me that maybe Cass' fondness of "candles" is just that its fire we will let her have.

well, yes ... but they're also decorative. And some smell nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're thinking of I Love You Forever, where the mom drives over to her adult son's house to snuggle him in the middle of the night. It *is* creepy and yet I still can't read the book aloud to my kids without crying. It doesn't help that I first read it when my mother was dying, and now I can't escape the memory of that first reading.

Oh, OK. That's the one where the mother turns into the wind or something? Possibly I have detachment issues. Although I can't imagine how sad anything would be if connected to my mother's death.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, goody. Stormpocalypse just arrived.
