All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I always forget about the Air & Water show until fighter jets are scrambling overhead as I'm waiting for the bus on the way to work.
That's always a little startling the first day, isn't it?

Welcome back, SH. It is now my duty to remind you that you are NOT ALLOWED to move to Atlanta. No.
ZOMG, LJ spotlight. So far, only one freaky random comment I felt the need to delete.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I didn't sleep well last night, and am now a zombie. The stuff I need to work on right now is complex, and I'm scared of making a horrible error.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hubby called contractor who said they had guys in the neighborhood who would call me before they came over to look at our ceiling leak. This was six hours ago.
It's a beautiful day and the kids and I could be at the park but we can't leave until these asshats come over to give me an estimate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The latest news on Australia and their weird animal problems: Pesky Camels Will Be Shot From Helicopters
Thousands of camels will be shot from helicopters and turned into burgers in a bid to halt their trail of havoc across Australia.
Marksmen plan to gun the animals down amid concern the thirsty dromedaries are barging into people's homes and ripping up their bathrooms looking for water.
Government officials plan to wipe out 650,000 of the feral population in the remote Outback area of the country.
The creatures were first introduced to Australia in the 1840s to help explorers travel through the Australian desert.
There are now about one million camels roaming the country.
They compete with sheep and cattle for food, trample vegetation and invade remote settlements in search of water.
On a number of occasions they have scared residents - tearing apart bathrooms and ripping up water pipes.
...Tony Peacock, CEO of the University of Canberra's Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Center, said: "To be shot from a helicopter is actually quite humane, even though that sounds brutal."
"If I was a camel, I'd prefer to just get it in the head."
