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

She reported that there were two teenage girls making out furiously in a VW Bug parked at a different pump.

Aw! Baby dykes are so cute!

cupcake vs. donut

Cupcakes are delicate flowers while donuts are squat, fried, and dense. My money's on the donut (though I'd prefer to eat the cupcake).

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

Rock ON, Kathy!

Of course, about the best we do with both of those vans is 17mph. We really could do with a more efficient vehicle. But we need the 4wd, or at least the awd, or we couldn't get out of our street. I dunno any subcompacts with 4wd.

Ford Escape Hybrid?

Suzuki and Subaru make 4wd compact cars.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wouldn't call my Forester compact, but it's Not Large, and it's AWD, and gets mid-20s mpg.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My sister is now using me for inspiration! Which is strange, because she's the reason I'm doing this form of dieting (the medication route). She had gastric bypass and lost 135 pounds in a year, so she and Mom were really doing the hard sell for me to have surgery as well. But, I really don't like the idea of messing with my insides when there's no guarantee that it'll keep you thin after you lose the weight. Sure enough, in the 18 months since the wedding, she's put 35 pounds back on, and that's while she's been exercising regularly as well as not being able to eat large amounts due to the small stomach. So, she's on Weight Watchers now (along with her hubby).

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, I have coffee, but I am still have cravings for the beignets -- it survived the night. Since I am wearing tightish jeans for me (omg) date Friday, I will have to be happy with the cereal instead. Vanity, thy name is 36 y.o. woman!

(Hee. And for those who have known me for years, yeah, the patented Erin ass-buffing salt is getting taken of the shelf and dusted off (heh, much like myself!) and vigorously applied pre-date. Not that I think there will be any need, but it's the principle of the thing!

My mom always, always was the best about attacking dollars stores and presenting me with a box of random school supplies at the beginning of the year. I've also bought belts (school unis), food, ties, a backpack and medications for my students. I also always check the $250 auto dedection for teachers without a qualm, and wish it was more. And I was not an aberration among teachers or administrations -- our registrar, with three kids of her own, would quietly bring in boxes of school supplies and jackets, ties and belts gleaned from her family.

Oh, jeez. Your poor sister.
