I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I don't think any blame is with you. What if you were out of town without cell phone reception for the afternoon? There are lots of scenarios where asking for a call back that day is desired but can't be required. I know, it doesn't make it any better, but still, bad preschool, not bad Kat.

Two totally unrelated people showed up today as "Fans of Focus on the Family."

I had a high school friend become a fan of "Impeach Obama" and blah, blah, blah, something Pelosi. It makes it hard to log in.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I had a college friend like that. That's what "Hide" buttons are for. He can rant all he likes and I don't have to see it.

Dear god, yes.

Kat, I can't believe that preschool. That's crazy making.

Oh, get this--after calling me and being all "Well, apparently we just have different stories " The neighbor texted me to say that he had already YESTERDAY contacted the COPS to file a hit and run (or, hit and park) (since I hadn't DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE SUNDAY I HADN"T SEEN HIS NOTE, SO VOILA, MY CAR WAS RIGHT THERE FOR HIM TO ACCUSE). WTF?!?!?!?!?

Having just been on a jury of a hit and run (or rather, a hit and run [twice], park, then walk back), what is the evidence? Is there any damage to your car? Does someone claim to have seen something?

Also, what about the plaid?

Kat, so frustrating!

I was definitely planning on sending it on to Plei once it gets to me, if she wants it.

Yeah, I could stand a repurge by that point, probably. Which is to say, I'm sure I'll have some impulse regrets that Do Not Work on me.

Because books.

meara, I think megan is suggesting that you stay fled!

And don't tell the police you had a few beers that morning!

It's a plan then! Maybe I will save stuff I was going to send to Colorado for then.

I am not wearing ANY PLAID! However, since the supposed hit and "run" (park) happened at my house, I cannot stay fled!

As for the "evidence"...my bumper is supposedly the height of the damage to his car. But I say there's no way I'd be pulling in or backing out and manage to hit him at that angle--there's no one parked next to me on the other side, so it's not like it's tight and I need to swing that way.
