I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Got married
Bought a house
Watched my mom fight cancer and win
Had a hysterectomy
Got two dogs to go with our two cats
Went to Europe
Lost my niece and uncle
Drank untold gallon of Diet Dr. Pepper

What's changed in your life in the last five years?

Got a new cat, had a baby, lost two aunts, saw my mother fight off cancer (so far, so good), got an adult job, lost weight, regained weight, bought a new to us house, father-in-law lost a lobe of his lung, failed to sell old house (not so much a change, that, though).

Coding and Sleeping

In the last five years so little has changed in my life it is almost scary. The kids have gotten taller.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

shrift! The name of your company does not contain a comma, correct?

(Yes, I did get asked this as a serious research question).

I had a client that would get seriously tetchy if there was a comma between [corporate name] and Inc. "We spent millions of dollars on our branding campaign!" etc.
