I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Billytea have not read it. I admit the call for "carefully calibrated military interventions" is one I find suspicious, but can't comment until I read it.

Yeah. His position is rather better principled than, say, the current administration's, being focused on preventing genocidee, internecine civil war and/or state collapse (such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Somalia), but it still carries the risk of going wrong, and keeping governments committed to higher-minded principles may be an even greater challenge.

Still, for all that I'd have preferred to see (for instance) intervention in Rwanda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, did you know you are no longer being a scofflaw with the flying with the lighter in your pocket?

I did! Thanks.

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

I got info on department birthdays from the employee who used to have my job - she gave me her calendar, I copied the dates.

I had yesterday as her b'day. I got slammed in the afternoon and so did not go get her flowers as planned (not everyone would get flowers, but she is the ex-admin and when I asked the boss, he said to get something). So, this morning I run early to get a nice bouquet. I take them to her apologize they were not here yesterday - BLANK STARE. Apparently, what I read as her b'day on her calendar, was her DOG'S b'day. good lord. I hope I can still get reimbursed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am laughing so hard right now! That belongs in a movie!

Trust my rage

I watched Grey's Anatomy last night and that show has just gone down hill so much. I totally would not miss it if I took if off my Tivo.

So, sure enough, the cable guy just got here for my 10-2 appointment. I totally knew he would be early... not sure why. At least the problem magically got worse this morning and not better like I was afraid of.

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

We're just a fluke. Human population split up and dwindled to about 2000. Somehow we reunited and repopulated. Kinda freaky.
