Sorry if I seemed to overreact Steph, this is just a very sensitive issue for me.

That's okay; I was just trying to be sympathetic re: People We Love And The Ways That They Can Be Slow And Therefore Drive Us Batshit. I don't know much about PhD dissertations, but I *do* know that if they were quick and easy to complete/defend, every yokel would do it.

And, Steph, thank you for being so quick to apologize. I really appreciate it.

You're most welcome.

Oh dear ita. I hope you can avoid the ER, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Ack, flea. Sorry you have to deal with the stress. The good news is that banks are willing to work with people.

What? you never heard of wimmin? or grrrl for that matter?

I prefer "Gyno American."

I really need to take the kids to see Kung Fu Panda. Owen got a Happy Meal yesterday and he's now asking me to show him the Kung Fu moves on the box. I move with the subtle grace of Jack Black, let me tell you.

96°F / RealFeel® 102°F

Dear Weather, Please, no more. I'll tell you whatever you want, just make it stop!

I move with the subtle grace of Jack Black, let me tell you.

When we saw the preview for Kung Fu Panda, The Boy poked me and made waggly eyebrows as it to suggest that I am like unto Kung Fu Panda.

Because, of course, I *am.* The whole SQUISHHHH! thing made me laugh and laugh, because that's really my only method of defending myself against, say, ninjas.

Dear Weather, Please, no more. I'll tell you whatever you want, just make it stop!

At least it's a record. Nothing I hate more than unbearable weather that turns out to be not that unusual, actually. (See: Actual Summer.)

Dear Chatty!co-worker:

If you're a dick to me and I call you out on it, you DON'T get to say "I don't want to talk about it." We're not dating, jackhole; you're my co-worker and you need to act right.

No love,

The woman who sits 5 feet from the back of your head and has lots of blunt objects on her computer monitor and a VERY good throwing arm

(No Craigslist ads, please. I just want to bitch about Chatty being a jerk and trying to pull the "I don't want to talk about it" thing. Yeah, I BET you don't! That's because you're being a DICK and I busted you on it.)

Hmm, I just went to boston.com and says that Boston/Cambridge is like 73 degrees, but Salem/Peabody is 88 degrees with RealFeel temp of 101. That sounds much like what we have here in Boston/Cambridge area, at least when I last stepped outside.

WTF, boston.com? RealFeel of 76? I DON'T THINK SO.

I prefer "Gyno American."

I read that as "Gyro American" at first, which I believe has a WHOLE different vibe to it.

All righty, weather.com lists the temp as 96, RealFeel as 97.

That sounds about right.
