There used to be a small family of deer living in my parents' compost heap. They only left when the family with Really Big Dogs moved in next door.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I'm still thinking work at nearly 10 and after a glass of booze. MAKE IT STOP. (I know others work longer hours than me. I've got a crisis I've got bad feelings about and I just need a wee biddle bit of brain OFF time, please.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How big was that heap or how small a family?

Two or three deer on any given day.

I officially HATE my Cablevision TiFaux. Without warning, it failed to record TDS/Colbert on Monday, The Office after the Superbowl, and 30 Rock tonight. Even though they were all scheduled and I have plenty of hard drive space. HATE.

Now tagless for your comfort.
msbelle, lemon squeezy?
Deer fear my mother more than moose fear Sarah Palin. Mom could keep us stocked up on meat for a long time. It's ironic that she's allergic to venison.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yes, it is lemon squeezy. I had just looked it up. THANKS all - the other suggestions made me laugh.

Crap. Just found out a childhood friend, whom I've long since lost touch with except for mom-talk (ah, small towns) lost a twin girl pregnancy at 21 weeks very recently. I probably haven't talked to her since I was 16, but...jesus. Her older brothers are twins, too. I feel like I should do something, if only because we were inseperable and shared clothes when we were 11. But I know it isn't about me, so... I'll let the moms do the sharing of condolences.

Oh, that's so sad, sara.
I totally did something stooopid and lame. I went to Color Me Mine for a mom's thing. When I got there, I realized I had left my wallet at home. DOH. Stooopid me. Nothing like swooping in and meeting new people then running away because I have no cash.
Sigh.

Though maybe the lame part is going to Color Me Mine!
