I know that feeling... NSM, actually, so I understand.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm tired. I dragged all over town running errands with a resident, wearing my boots which are not comfy at all, even with arch support inserts, and then tried to dig out the group home's mailbox from having been plowed in far too deep for the postal carrier to get to it. I made some progress there, but they have such a flimsy little shovel, and the snow was packed so hard, I doubt I did enough.
Also, I have come to the conclusion that flaky house manager sincerely, truly, deeply believes that nagging and lecturing is the best, most appropriate, most effective way to change other people's behavior. So much so, that she is convinced that when I give a simple prompt and then praise them for following the prompt, I am doing *nothing* remotely useful. In the past, I have threatened to deal with her behavior the way I deal with the residents' behavior. Maybe it is time to follow through on that.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've been clomping around in snow and ice and have failed to hurt myself in any substantial way!
Oh GREAT. Now you're going to DIE.
Have you never seen a horror movie?

The status is NOT quo.
My sense of self-preservation has kinked into action.
BWAH! Also, NATLBSB.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh GREAT. Now you're going to DIE.
No, there's just this mysterious sound that I am going to go investigate alone. What's the worst that could happen?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
"Your grandmother asks where you are and when we'll have children to light Hanukkah candles" (one of my friends was stuck with her boyfriend's family for two hours while he was stuck in a meeting. That was her text-message).

I'm sure it's perfectly safe.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I can haz cupcake! One of my minion's girlfriend brought them in on her way back from a Chanukkah party. I just licked frosting off a little plastic menorah.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Your grandmother asks where you are and when we'll have children to light Hanukkah candles"
Is that a requirement? Can't you use a match?
