Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got a gift from one person who works for me, but told another directly (the criminally underpaid 24 year old one) that she should never feel like she has to give anything to anyone she works for. And I've given presents to bosses! But it's like other people have said, I was giving it to the person, not The Boss. I think the group thing becomes a gift to The Boss, not a gift to Joanne or whoever. If that makes any sense.

That sounds like a nightmare, Jess. I'm glad you're all home safe. (I do realize that the suckfest you describe was days ago.)

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

Jess, I'm glad that the travel went so well, all things considered. But I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's always hard to lose someone you love, but it's so very hard when it's around the holidays.

I am not incontinent.

I had turned on the heating pad for my feet and forgotten about it.

Later, I sat down on it without realizing it. And had this horrible hypochondriac fear .

But no, I was just sitting on a heating pad.

Man, that would have never occurred to me when I was younger.

Ha! The first time I got in a car with heated seats (without knowing it), I thought I was having a stroke or something.

Oh god. Heated seats. I'm too econocar familiar for that. I'd think there was an accident of one variety or the other happening ALL THE TIME.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hah! I used to do that to people in my (heated-seat) car all the time. It's too common now to get away with.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

That happened to Mr. Jane the first time he rode in my Volvo.

So much happening while I've been gone. Hugs and well wishes to everybody. I'm never going to catch up with work and the holidays, so I'm just skipping and skimming until they're over.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

heading to bed. I am at 34 cards done, I have 11 more physical cards to use up and then I will be free from them, but I will get to them tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unexpected heated seats make me have naughty thoughts.

Reality TV shocks: Perez Hilton is on TV? Who thought that made sense? And who are these bad girls and why are they so nasty?

It's all gotten much worse than I'd thought. Watched Confessions of a Dangerous Mind over the weekend and laughed at Chuck Barris being slammed for the junk he put up in front of us. Yeah. Gong Show. A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. He totally started it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, remember Min? Anyone know what happened to her?

I don't know. I miss Min. I used to chat with her all the time, while she was staying up late and zapping hackers who were trying to break into whatever computer system she was defending.
