Do we think those balls would have enough momentum for the kids to have fun?
I think so. I was going to suggest styrofoam balls but they don't seem to be that much cheaper than ping-pong balls.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

(((juliana))) I'm so sorry.
I have no electricity and no heat, so I'm going to go hide at Mom's after I find some place to get some caffeination.

Finished paper. Now, home.
sj - oh no! Why don't you have heat and electricity?

{{juliana}} All my sympathy to you and your family. May your grandfather find peace and love waiting for him.
Oy, all you insensitive asses! I'ma kick yours! So sorry you've had to deal with that kind of crap, Sparky and Shir. It's amazing how many people out there don't have boundaries or recognize others. Makes me want to cut a bitch.

I very calmly told her that I appreciated the apology, but I'd thought I'd made myself very clear with regard to her story and if I didn't then I was doing so now: I would not be discussing any medical issues/decisions with her - those are private and off-limits now and forever.
If she does it again, just bitch slap her, burst into tears, and blame the hormones.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I may be hormonal. I want to drive over there and kick that woman's ass on your behalf, Sparky. Seriously. What the fuck is wrong with that woman?
I'm ready to throttle DH as well. When he comes home for lunch he immediately switches the tv to Sports Center (even though I'm in the middle of fixing lunch for the kids and have it on Noggin to distract them). When he gets home in the evening, he does the SAME thing, only he turns on Pardon the Interruption and expects the kids to be QUIET while he watches.
I should be able to allow his inner caveman to appear for two half hour slots per day but DAMN. I'm either trying to do dishes, fold laundry or chase kids and seeing him sit there makes me want to slap him.
Other than that, he's awesome.

My floor has one unisex bathroom, which is fine, there are only three people regularly on the floor - the dean of the chapel, the security guard, and me (the rest of the floor is conference rooms). Someone routinely does not flush, which is gross, but dealable. Today, some asshole has PEED ALL OVER THE FRONT OF THE SEAT. Not just a splash or a spot, but a good third of the seat is covered. I can't help but suspect the security guard, since he's kind of an asshole (i.e. doesn't bother to learn where the rooms in the building are, just sends them into my office)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Thank you for all the sympathy, folks. I appreciate it.
