Oh, in trying to decide what to read next, I figured out that I had already read one book on the TBR shelves. WHOOT! One more to move to the read shelves.

My mom picked mac up from school today. me likey.

I have zero sense of balance.

Me too. If I'm walking down a sidewalk, I can't look up to the sky without losing my balance.

The woman flung the vegetable at the bear, striking it and forcing it to flee.

Of course it fled. Everyone knows that the next play in that fight is offering a whole bag of zucchini to take home with you.

That's horrible, Cash. I'm so sorry!

Oof. Just posted this in the comments to a friend's status complaining about his neighbors filing a formal complaint against him instead of knocking and asking him to turn it down.

Try to resolve it in thread before taking it to the mods! Geez, people!

It's possible I hang out here too much.

That bear story reminds me of Outlander when the hero fights off a bear with a fish.

Cash, that is too awful for words. How heart-breaking.

Spidra, I've been thinking about it, and I think the difference between Bitches and Natter (for me) is (A) If I think "Oh, this is TMI" then I usually go to Bitches (B) some Bitches can't keep up with Natter and post mainly there, although sometimes the thread speed differential is negligible, and (C) I think because Bitches started out as the pornyesque thread, people revealed more there, and now the HoYay and Spikedrool has translated to more emotional openness and closeness there, in a lot of ways, for many people.

It's a slight difference, I think. And there can be a lot of cross-pollination. For instance, I would white-font a (hypothetical) OMG my braces got stuck in my date's zipper, please advise or a "my emotional trauma X has me stabbin', SOB" in Bitches, whereas Natter is more call-and-response.

Mostly. I think.

Anyway.

For reals, I have to look at stairs that I am decending. I'm screwed if I have to carry anything unless one hand is free to steady myself with the handrail.

I can walk down stairs without holding the handrail (if my hands are full), but I hate to do it and I walk a lot more carefully.

Then there are times I think the last step is not a step or vice-versa, but that's a poor-depth-perception issue rather than a balance issue.

I've mentioned this before, but I once failed a sobriety test (the kind where they make you walk a line, etc.) while completely sober.

I'm not exactly graceful on my feet but I'm a lot better on skates. Odd, but true.

This is a real concern of mine when driving at night.
