We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

But this was funny, is the sense that is not. I recently found out that two hypercompetitive members of our group were apparently, some months back, trashing each other on their Facebooks. Can you fucking imagine? Are they twelve?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Brenda! I just remembered that the other night I had asked you about how your eating habits changed, and your post got eaten, and so I was wondering if you'd be willing to give it a shot again.

Please feel free not to -- you don't exist for my own personal edification.

(Everyone else does, though. Dance, monkeys, dance!)

Oh, yeah yeah. Let me put my thoughts together a little and I will.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, yeah yeah. Let me put my thoughts together a little and I will.

Compose it in Word then cut and paste!

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

Please feel free not to -- you don't exist for my own personal edification.

(Everyone else does, though. Dance, monkeys, dance!)

Sorry, I have a cat on my lap, and my cat is higher on my "I exist for his/her edification" scale.

I mean, it's not like I haven't been negative about things, but the fact that the concern came from people that don't really know me or my work, or why I might have reason to be negative is the frustrating thing.

Grrr. Er, translation: I've been there. It's maddening.

"Yes, I'm unhappy, because I work with crazy people. If I enjoyed working with crazy people, I wouldn't be looking to work with your group, because you're not crazy. Although this Catch-22 you've set up is making me reconsider that assessment."

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Disclaimer: I apparently do have a facebook account but I don't use it, and apparently don't know how, either!

I'm seeing names popping up in my gmail twice over, so apologies to all you Buffistas if I'm spamming you.

QQ: afternoon tea. Gender-biased?

And what's a really really inexpensive menu? I've got several packets of lavender that I'm going to boil into some lemonade (it's in early April). Tea packets, are they tacky? Loose-leaf, is it too much trouble? And then I'd have to scrounge up tea pots and extra strainer dohickeys. Are just mini-scones enough? I make killer cucumber sammiches, but whenever I make them I don't want to share...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh dear - I've mentioned my Larouchie aunt & uncle in here before, yes? Behold my uncle, handing out Impeach Obama signs at a Tea Party rally. Complete with Hitler mustache, because, really, nothing says "My cult is more important to me than my Jewish heritage" like the President in a Hitler mustache.

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

Spending this much on nail polish is a tad frivolous, but I feel okay about it given that it's making me very happy.

You know, it's cheaper than therapy.
