I am working on not being angry at mac. it would be a bit ridic since he hasn't acted up today, but he did leave ALL of his homework to do at home. ugh. so I told him that was UNacceptable and then I explained what the consequences would be if he had another night like last night. The DS will go away forever! I was calm and I did not yell. I explained that getting angry and acting up more makes things worse and he has got to start understanding that.
Mighty fine shindig.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
tommyrot, I am so glad kitty was found relatively unscathed (thistles notwithstanding).

Calm, consistent and clear is probably an excellent route. Hard to do, but good.
My calves are killing me. I've been working on kicking better and I think this is the price. But I am getting faster!

Hey, those are the words I was looking for. Yeah, that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
shrift, if you're looking at ridiculous computers, we love Falcon Northwest. Their tech support is like calling up the angels in heaven.

Hang in there msbelle.
OMG, my proofer thinks you can't split an infinitive or end a sentence with a preposition. So she keeps wanting to change things like "What do you want to talk about?" to "About what do you want to talk?".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I'm so glad you found your cat and nearby, tommy.
msbelle, what sarameg said.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That, of course, is the kind of thing up with which you should not put.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just got back from getting dinner. Was sorta' hit by a car on my way back. I'm uninjured, but very angry.
I was walking down Sheridan (busy four-lane street) and crossing a sidestreet (I had a walk signal) when a guy comes down the sidestreet and rolls right through the crosswalk, even though I'm directly in front of him. I turn toward the car and then try to run backwards as the car keeps on going. I lose my balance, end up with my hands on the car's hood, running backwards until the car finally stops. Two other people almost got hit too.
The guy was all apologetic and whatnot. I told him to try looking directly in front of him while he drives.
