And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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

Just a reminder that my husband is six years younger than I.

Meh. I'm just having body issues with the younger/firmer set. He otherwise seems to be a kind, bright guy as well as I can tell by email.

Actually, most of the guys who contact me are in their late twenties. I think it's the whole cougar thing. I can't wrap my head around it.

And then there are the guys in their 50s, and I can't date a guy within a five year age range of my MOM. I just can't. It's too weird.

I told Tim about the wedding, but I'll see him Saturday and hope to be able to bring pics!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Got the first call to come pick Owen up from school today. He's got fever. Or as Olivia put it, "a beaver." Looks like he's home tomorrow, too.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

all things considered, that's a good reason for a call.

Poor Owen.

The kids here were home a lot last week on account of strep throat. Much fever going on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm watching The Price is Right, and they have a game with the yodel guy! I love the yodel guy.

Our wings are not tired.

Lovely wonderful description of the wedding. Thank you, Shir.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Much fever going on.

Do you have enough cowbell?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Allyson, I am still reading the book, still in love with Sam. If you want, I can send you a few notes when I'm done. Also? Kids are so into reading it, although they were bummed to learn there weren't any pictures yet.

I have a date on Friday, I think. Well, it's coffee after work. And then a 30 year old asked me out, but I'm more wary of that. I have age issues. And low expectations.

My husband is 10 years younger than me. Go Team Younger Man!!

Also? Banish those body demons. He knows your age, he's seen your picture, he's clearly intrigued by you or he wouldn't want to meet. Go enjoy your coffee.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thank you for the thank yous, guys.

It really was a wonderful evening.
