Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
When I was a proofreader at Giant Law Firm in NYC in the early 90s, we had to edit the master's thesis for one of the partner's wives. It was interminable, had a zillion drafts and was on Lamb of God Imagery in English Poetry.

I took typing in high school; they put the blinders around the typewriter and you had to touch type blind. I hated it, but I can touch type when I have to. A lot of my typing is done with cig in hand, so I go between looking and touch typing.
Icicles are MELTING. I'm so excited to feel the sun.

RE: The bear article. A) You think that once the bear broke into your garage once and raided the fridge in there, you'd realize that it's not a good place for a fridge and remove it. B) That bear is the Rasputin of bears.
I was discouraged from taking typing in HS since it was not in the Academic (oollege prep) stream of classes, and I rue that decision to this day.
Clio's tail, while not 100%, seems much better than even this morning. I may cancel her appointment for tomorrow. IOCatN, I caught Oz tasting the road salt this afternoon. Weirdo cat.
I took in a few small prints to get franed today and bought groceries. Those two errands took three hours.

Well, if someone has your address erroneously in their contact list, they'll send something else soon enough. If it was just a typo, they'll chalk it up to the vagaries of the internets.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I took typing. I was horrible at it. Thank you for computers, and a back space that erases things, and spell check. I have some speed , if I am not thinking I touch type, but mostly I am a 6 fingered typist.

I'm totally doing that, Sue! Thanks for the link. I went to a IRL Jeopardy test a few years ago and the test questions are SO much harder than the TV show questions. But I was close!

I used to get emails from someone I didn't know. Pictures of her kids. I knew just enough people by her first name that I wasn't sure at first. Eventually , they stopped.
