Hec, REI has (or used to have, but I'd be surprised if they've stopped it) a free climbing night. You might have to rent Emmett shoes, unless he has his own, but they are discounted to $3 or so, iirc. I think it was Tuesday nights in Concord, I assume the newish SF store has one as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish tomorrow were massage day.
Today was supposed to be my massage day, but my neck and shoulder were so sore I didn't want them touched.
Today is seven days since my last ER visit! That's totally huge. I need to make it one more week, at least. Because B's not in town until then, and because, hey, who wants to go to the ER?
invite him over and kick his ass
He already knows I hit below the belt, but I'm not sure he'd see it coming precisely.
Of course, if he whupped my ass it would be terribly confusing and wrongmaking. I'd have to sign over my life to him or something, until I can best him in honourable battle, right?
Or I could have B kick his ass. There has to be an upside to having friends his size.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can I borrow him for my work xmas party? And can you give me a shiner the day before?
I'm looking for a nice sort of, "leave allyson alone, she has problems" effect in my workplace.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm looking for a nice sort of, "leave allyson alone, she has problems" effect in my workplace.Yeah, but then you're entering, "We need to stage an intervention!" territory, and nobody needs that. Copier room therapy!

Thanks for the climbing tips Consuela and -t.
David, Emmett is truly awesome and I would vote for him right now!
At the parent-teacher conference it was noted that he had leadership potential. I have to say I really love Emmett's teacher. She's a 27 year vet and a crunchy granola Berkeley hobbit, but she really enjoys having him in her class.

B's perfect rent-a-boyfriend material. One way or another, I think you want to leave his women alone.
I wouldn't give his girlfriend an intervention, just in case it got back to him who started the whole thing.
Which isn't to say he's not the greatest kindest guy ever--it's just that the absolute best picture of him has blood pouring down his face and determination in his eyes.

I think you'd be working harder to make this happen since you get to punch me in the eye for free.

It's no fun when people don't want to fight back. I know how you feel about hitting people in the face--I don't want to make you mad enough to consider it, ever.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm home!! I left my stepsister's house in Lancaster County (right in the middle of Amish/Mennonite farmland--it was fun driving both to and from the house and passing buggies and Amish girls and ladies on their big heavy bikes on the road, as well as seeing the interesting juxtaposition of an auto repair shop two doors down from a harness shop) at 7:45 (Central time) am and getting home by 8:45 tonight.
I did get pulled over in Ohio, but the (very young!) cop let me go with a verbal warning ("Just keep it closer to 65, and try and stay in the middle lane, OK?" "Thanks, officer!! Have a good weekend!"), and then I ended up missing the turnoff for 80 into Illinois, so I mistakenly took the Skyway into the city and then the Kennedy to the Tri-State home. It wasn't too bad, other than the usual jam-up at the Circle exchange, so missing my exit wasn't a disaster.
My cat was well taken care of by the catsitters--they even trimmed her claws, saving me the hassle of dragging her into the vets and paying them $11 to do the same! I think I'll have to send them a Xmas tip for being so good to her during my various trips this year.
For bad national news I heard rumored on my vacay, my law-enforcement brother told me that a lot of his co-workers who are reservists have been notified that they will be getting called up in June, and rumors are that they'll end up in Iran. Freaked my mom out, but sad to say, I've been expecting this for the past year. Cheney's been jonesing for an Iran war for decades now, and he's bound and determined to get one before January 2009.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Welcome home!! I was in your neck of the woods yesterday and thought about calling you to meet for supper then realized you were still gone. Did you have a good trip?
