Actual part of an announcement email sent at work "While we know we have a few experienced drinkers around here" and to that, I raise my pineapple rum.

I raise my whiskey in salute.

As soon as I can figure out when Jon and I can get there. We talked about it not too long ago.

\\o/!!! Tell him he can ride my motorcycle, as long as he promises to be CAREFUL.

Seriously, IL has all the weird-ass town names. Or at least weird pronunciations. (signed, still boggled at San JOES. And AY-thens. And KAY-ro.)

Don't forget Mar-SAILS (for Marseilles). And of course, there's the street name mangling (Goethe isn't "GER-ta", it's "GO-thee").

It's my understanding that, once a person has kids, you don't always get to do what you want with your weekend.

Not always, but when there is nice weather you can always have them go outside and play. It's not too bad. Then there is time to do adult weekend stuff, like cleaning, or laundry, or mopping, or.... Maybe I'll take the kids out to do something this weekend.

Two of my favorite Missouri town names are Peculiar and Tightwad.

I raise my beer. The beer I have IN MY HAND AT MY DESK RIGHT NOW. For the second Friday in a row.

Oh, fuck you.

I have pizza and ibuprofen. Let's trade.

Hooray beer!

Susan, you are totally allowed to cut out on some of the kid stuff, without flagellating yourself for being a bad mommy. Sometimes DH has to work while I take the kids to a birthday party or a playdate, sometimes I'm the one who stays home and works while DH takes the kids to his mother's or to the park.

Oh, fuck you.

Hey! No need to be nasty.

Don't forget Mar-SAILS (for Marseilles).

You have a Marseilles? Indiana has a Versailles! Pronounced to rhyme with yours.
