A better comparison would be the number of bars versus the number of churches.

Timelies all!

We have had the Kitty 500 here this morning. Silly cats...

further along in the school year, they'd pop out a "But my mom/dad is Filipino/Black/Puerto Rican/French/Kenyan/White" and I'd be all "Huh. Never woulda guessed. Get on witcha bad multiethnic self, kiddo!"

Can't tell you how many times I had teachers hand me back any number of forms telling me I'd filled them out wrong.

Because I marked "Hispanic" and no damned way could I be Hispanic. I'm white, white, whitey-white with hazel eyes, so there.

I'd have to bring in my even whiter, even lighter hazel-eyed mother and her lovely Spanish accent to straighten them out in some colorful language.

ups boxes are beeping.

? united parcel services?

mac came out of his room last night around 9 and we had something to eat and he was wanting comfort and whatnot. We watched a little tv and then I said we needed to talk. It didn't go well, so I told him back to his room and to have a good night. He came into my bed around 2am. I got the ds and put it away at 3:30. Should be an interesting day. I've told him and emailed his uncle that I will not leave the house with him, so uncle G is coming here.

thank you all for the kind words and good thoughts. this to shall pass.

oh and now he is watching Snow Dogs and I had NO IDEA that the premise is he's adopted. good lord parenting fail.

I hate being lied to. I hate it worst when my health is on the line. I used to like you, Mr. ER Attending. Don't say 'we don't do that here ever." I was there. You do it almost every week.

Also, since the change in my regimen I can't get you to talk to my specalist about, responsiveness would be nice.

Sorry, msbelle. Sorry, ita.

I'm having my own mini-meltdown this morning about seeing my family today.

How did Tino get into Sunday morning? Sorry, everyone.

I hope the rest of Sunday goes better for everyone. I have a houseguest coming tomorrow to stay the week, and I have this long list of stuff that has to get done before she arrives, so I need to get up and go start on that.

Oh no, lots of woe here in b.org this morning. Hugs to Scola, and sympathies to ita and msbelle for the upteen gazillionth frustration.

Red dots represent locations where there are more bars than grocery stores, based on results from the Google Maps API. The Midwest takes their drinking seriously.

Okay, my this is my skewed Midwestern viewpoint speaking here, but that just seems so strange. Wouldn't you expect more bars than grocery stores?

This exchange makes me laugh. I think brenda that perhaps in places, like here I'm guessing, where grocery stores outnumber bars, many of the said grocers are small corner markets, not great big supermarkets.

And I hear there are places where grocery stores SELL liquor (at least beer and wine) so that has to skew results a bit, too.
