Of course this doesn't explain how I still am sort of scared that there can be sharks in swimming pools. I'm not sure why I think that.
Honey, you still occasionally worry that there could be sharks in bathtubs.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They could be!

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
everyone knows that bathtub sharks are vegetarian

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
But yeah, the lakes around here are mud-bottomed puddles of orange water.
That's pretty much how I remember Lake Norman (North of Charlotte NC). I enjoyed it way back then as a kid, but now this is what comes to mind:

My worst swimming experience was in Virginia at a literal watering hole filled with silty squishy clay and crawfish. I could jump into the deep part, but getting out I had to walk through the grossness.
Or maybe the worst experience was being at a crowded beach when I was wee and nobody saw the little boy trying to drown me in the shallows.
Best was being pummelled by waves post-hurricane in NC. The beach had been torn away so it was a steep 45 degree grade down to the water line, and trying to actually get in the ocean was an exciting challenge, because the waves kept smashing against that beach wall. 90% of my attempts wound up with me flying back into the churning sand and rocks like supergirl.

I am heat treating ziploc bags. I am not sure I can convey how happy this makes me. I may be at the end of the weekly purchases.
I am also going through mac's school supply list. It looks like we have about half the stuff. I am heat treating what I can, bagging the rest (markers, glue).
also, laundry. 2 loads in. 2 more on deck.

Oh NO. Poor, poor mac. Those commercials make me insane and break my heart all at the same time.
It's like Jesus H-- I already have enough issues about animal abuse, I don't need shots of them in cages during shows I watch to try to RELAX.
Can't even read or hear any stories about Michael Vick being allowed back in the NFL. Pisses me off so much, I can't stand it.
