Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
lisah! Go take a walk! Even hard-rockin' women need to take their exercise!
I just posted this over in Bitches, but I'm missing Ellie, so here's some cute little girl picspam: [link]
Ellie is MADE OF AWESOME!
(and so grown up! what did you do, feed her?)
OMG, could Ellie be any cuter? I think no. And the safety gear!
My neighbor just called to tell me that Sarah, my neighbor with the Lyme disease was just taken to the hospital. She can't walk, and she keeps twitching. Strange disease.
Damn, that's terrifying.
Ellie really is adorable!
Hey, folks, just wanted to say thanks to those who offered sympathy since the last time I checked in. I'm flying to Alabama early in the am, so will most likely be dark for the next week or so. Here's hoping everyone has a happy week.
Oh, and Stephanie, what an adorable little girl!
Go take a walk! Even hard-rockin' women need to take their exercise!

Over the past few decades, the driest states in the United States have become some of our fastest-growing; meanwhile, an ongoing drought has brought the flow of the Colorado to its lowest levels since measurements at Lee’s Ferry began 85 years ago. At the Senate hearing, Udall stated that the Colorado River basin is already two degrees warmer than it was in 1976 and that it is foolhardy to imagine that the next 50 years will resemble the last 50. Lake Mead, the enormous reservoir in Arizona and Nevada that supplies nearly all the water for Las Vegas, is half-empty, and statistical models indicate that it will never be full again. “As we move forward,” Udall told his audience, “all water-management actions based on ‘normal’ as defined by the 20th century will increasingly turn out to be bad bets.”
Heh. Welcome to Australia.
If Hillary talked like that all the time, she'd be my favorite. If she said that on the Senate floor, I'd drop everything and follow her around NY, I swear, especially if it was about FISA. there is something too Managed about her latest persona. But I'm not a big hater or anything. Just holding on to my idealistic first choice for the moment.
