good night, Nilly
Natter 60: Gone In 60 Seconds
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just took the NY Times "Test Your Disaster IQ" and came up a "Survival Expert" - which is rather amusing. (I know that I'll need water but do I have a 3-days supply of water handy? No. Nor do I have batteries for my flashlight or even a good non-plug in radio.)
Been getting a taste of what disabled people go through routinely. Been walking with a cane this week (bad case of plantar fasciitis). And the nasty comments people make. Like when they have to go around me because I'm slow getting through the door. "You may have all day. I don't." (Followed by little girl accompanying the commenter "yeah, we don't have all day". Great lesson to teach your kid Mom.) Or when I'm able to put down the cane briefly to get something off the shelf: "look, he's faking it." I hope to off the cane soon. But I have to admit I'm shocked that deliberate rude remarks (from freakin adults) are so common.
Man, people really do suck.
Hey! I know the woman who wrote the book on surviving disaster.
You could try saying loudly "Next week I won't have a cane, but you'll still be rude!"
Sorry, dude, welcome to my world. Now you know why I love it when Dr. House is so rude. Or why it bonded me to Keith Olbermann when he answered his detractors with "Save oxygen. Kill yourself." (I should be horrified,but I never felt so close to a notorious person. Although he is not allowed to e-mail the public anymore because he did that.)
Good one, Theodosia!
Happy birthday, Fred Pate!!
Yay, Cubs won! They were down 7-6 at the 7th-inning stretch, but by the end of that inning, they were up 11-7, which was the final score. Thank you, Soriano, for the 3-run homer.
I know you can get vanilla sugar from Penzey's Spices.
Polgara! I almost called you this weekend to see if you wanted to hang out.
Hey, chica! S'ok, I had a fairly busy weekend anyway, where "busy" is defined as "too much shopping."
Yay, Cubs won! They were down 7-6 at the 7th-inning stretch,
Obviously, my stopping watching them caused them to suck, but only for five innings....
