The supposed reason my mother has never been back to Juarez, a mere hour away, is due to her pregnancy with me.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

hah! I bet my mom was in Juarez while pregnant with me (dad was stationed in El Paso when I was conceived and they went over to Juarez all the time). She hasn't mentioned getting sick there. Or sick at all with me. Supposedly I was the best one.

I know a few people who took today off (but didn't like, just suddenly "call in gay"...they planned in advance and said "hey, I'll be taking Wednesday off" with or without mentioning the gay part). I was going to, coincidentally, since I had vacation days to burn this week, but then I had a teleconference scheduled, and figured meh, I'll take them Thurs/Fri instead. ...since I work from home, it's not exactly a big impact, anyway.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Sadly, I didn't call in gay today. Wish I would have!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

And she's afraid she'll run into the Father?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
