Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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

I mean fuck. Can people just NOT smell themselves????

Dude. I had to change treadmills yesterday because this one dude stank like he had been living on the streets for a month. It's the gym, I'm not expecting people to smell like roses (I sure as hell don't), but when you smell like you haven't showered in weeks BEFORE you start working out? There's a problem.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I mean fuck. Can people just NOT smell themselves????

Well, once the stench gets past a certain point, no. Doesn't your nose just get fatigued after it's smelled the same thing too strongly for too long, and decide to ignore the smell from here on out? Possibly you should carry one of those little jars of coffee beans that they have in places like Lush, so the offender's nose can restart.

Thanks for all the reassurances. I feel much less worried.

My mother's response was to set me on newspapers and let me self feed.

That is awesome, and I think I need to give it a try. I don't suppose your mother took any pictures, did she? The resultant cute might kill us all, but I think we'd be willing to take the chance.

Because books.

Yay Suzi!

I have skimmed and skipped and skimmed some more.

Potty training is STRESSFUL. For everyone. But I just kept telling myself it would happen eventually, and it does. For most kids, it just seems to click one day. And honestly, the bigger deal you make of it, the more they'll push back.

JZ, I once read that kids up to five (I think) only need the equivalent number of tablespoons of food in their bellies at each meal. Their tummies are LITTLE. If Matilda is eating elsewhere, don't flip. Also, the best indicator of health (imho) is a happy, curious baby. And she is those things!

God, it's hot here.

What is it today? A very ripe dude sat himself next to me on the commuter train this morning. I was literally covering my face and trying to hold my nose so that it wasn't obvious. Gah. I should have moved, but I was tired and lazy.

I'd be willing to throw myself on that cutie grenade and save you all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't your nose just get fatigued after it's smelled the same thing too strongly for too long, and decide to ignore the smell from here on out?

Yep. When I was a kid, whenever I got back from vacation I'd notice just how much our barn stank, but I'd quickly get used to it.

But at least I took a shower after working in the barn if I had to go anywhere public.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well holy fucksticks, Batman.

Apparantly, the utility companies out here provide you a barrell when you start new service. The better to BEND YOU OVER AND FUCK YOU.

The water/sewer utility out here charges an 80% surcharge on your bill. Sometimes, the surcharge is more than the bill.

WTF.

My friend's girl twin, who is 17 months tomorrow, just started eating people

Haha...I started to get scared when I read that, until I got past the parenthesis and saw the word "food".

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The nose fatigue happens with good smells too. When I worked at the chocolate shop people would come in and say, "oh my gosh how do you not weigh 300 pounds having to smell that wonderful smell all the time?" But the store just smelled like a retail store to me.
