Congrats Allyson.
Speaking of scars. I have another wound to add to my knuckle thanks to cheese graters.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Ooof, I told mac tonight that a young woman (30s) he met from my parents' church died this weekend. She had been in a long battle with a painful and debilitating disease. There had been much crying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We totally used Papyrus for our wedding invitations...though that was almost 6 1/2 years ago now. I swear I'd only seen that font maybe six times ever before then; within a year it was all over everything, everywhere, but I swear it wasn't that way in January 2004!
eta: Oh, geez, msbelle, I'm so sorry for you and Mac and the young woman's family. May can feel free to lay off you anytime now; I'm pretty sure you've already gotten your full month's ration of heartache.

I'm getting the pig!
Congrats, Allyson!
I have a few decent scars - one on my ankle when I tipped over a motorcycle while sitting on it and got pinned underneath. Another where the cartilage still dips in just below my knee from a go kart accident. The big one on my left arm happened when I had to break into my own home and a loose piece of glass dislodged and settled into my arm while I was reaching through to unlock the door.
I hope whoever wins the espresso machine loves it as much as I do!

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My guess is it's a Three Musketeers reference. Cardinal Richelieu. CARDINAL. GET IT.

Oh, I *like* that font. It was that the woman was publicly counting down the days to her wedding that was so horror-musing!

The Biggest Oil Spills in History
If current estimates for the Deepwater Horizon oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico are correct, the massive spill could eventually dwarf that of Exxon Valdez spill of 1989 -- previously the largest in U.S. history -- by as much as three times. At a rate of 5,000 barrels a day, for an estimated 90 days, well over 20 million gallons of crude could be pumped out onto the Louisiana coastline. Even then, it might only crack the top 15 largest oil spills in world history. Here are the top five.
Top 15. Huh.
