Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh, yeah, and there was the time I woke up at 2am going 70 mph on the interstate between Knoxville and Nashville, headed right for the flimsy guard rail, beyond which was a gazillion-foot sheer drop off a mountain. If you want to believe in guardian angels, there's a little piece of evidence for you.

Although I was a pretty boring youth, one of the things I did regularly was sleep while driving on my way home. I commuted 45 minutes to college, worked 40 hours a week and was a double theatre/english major. Which led to me driving home around 2 am, and needing to be back at school around 7 am. There was this one stretch of road that was just a long country road, and I would purposefully sleep while driving it. I don't even know how I am not dead.

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

Does anyone know of such financial aid, or where I should look for it? I really want to help this kid out; she's smart as hell and really deserves a chance at a better life than she can get where she is now.

What state is she in?

I ate oatmeal twice this weekend, even though I don't prefer it. Much like going to the gym and reading books about personal finance, it's good for me and I'm no longer young enough to avoid it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Peter Graves is dead. ::sniff::

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Curse you, Teppy. Hec just got home and started a pot of his delicious veggie chili, and now I want oatmeal.

Ooooh, veggie chili! Have oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow, and dig in on the veggie chili. Yum!

I vote "ew." It's possible that Olympic level athletes might be limber or strong enough to comfortably use one of those benches for that purpose, but there ain't enough bleach in the world.

I just kept imagining athlete's foot in some very uncomfortable places.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Typepad

AHAHAHAHA I knew that was the comm you were talking about. So much dysfunction! And Typepad sucks so very much, which srsly makes matters worse.

I dated a very athletic bendy boy who had a weight bench and that SEEMED like a fantastically hawt idea until we actually tried it.

Not so much, no.

My other issue was that the bench must be digging into her spine. At least a weight bench is padded.
