Whoops. Christian and Sean. And the second time Matt came round for the money he looked twitchy.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm accidentally watching the local news, and now I'm all nervous about flying tomorrow. But it's still the shuttle! They still have their own security area for two flights out per hour! OK, they sometimes let other flights leave from down there, but still -- I've never waited in a line there ever.

I am sadly over Nip/Tuck. It's just not fun anymore.
Agreed, but we're tuning in for Julia's storyline!

I'm surprised I can still be surprised.
The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.
To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.
Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back.

Dude! How gifted do you have to be to be in the gifted program?
Your Program May Vary, but IIRC, the cut off at my elementary was somewhere in the 130s, and I recall the shocked rumors that one kid who came into the class only had an IQ of 133. He didn't last long in the class. Went back to being home schooled, actually. He was kind of antisocial and from a freaky conservative household.
