I dropped out of high school, I hated it so damn much. However, I am friends with the people I liked from back then (out of 3,200, there were a few). It is nice to learn where they ended up and to see that the best of them still have the snark going. In that way, FB is like passing notes. My ex-BF Walter, who who wrote hysterically funny notes while we were dating sophomore year, now writes hysterically funny FB updates.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That's an awesome response, Scrappy!
Deena, I've never quite figured out why kids' glasses don't just come in twos. Owen bent the shit out of his flex frames last week. Fortunately, the girls were able to bend them back. I should dig up his last pair (since his Rx didn't change) and make sure they're repaired for a back up.

not your mom's socks.
That's a lovely response Scrappy.
In the meantime, I'm good with evil.
I'm still not sitting in the back of a car with you on a road trip. We can flip for who rides in front and who gets to turn green. (And who gets to sing out loud while listening to her walkman.) Besides, you had 2 coaches.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I'm surprised how many of my high school friends have Facebook, considering they're British.
It's all my friends and colleagues ever seem to do. I quite often look around the office to see about twenty PhD students all playing Facebook Scrabble with the people opposite them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thank you so much, Steph. I will definitely look for those PearlsIC. My poor MiL has been completely miserable with this infection. And since her immune system is compromised, I want to do everything in our power to help her get better.

I know this must be an incredibly hard process for you, Burrell. It sounds as if you are doing all you can to be supportive of your MiL and your DH.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm on a probiotic right now to counteract the effects of the antibiotic I got put on to cure a suspected long-term sinus infection. My doctor got kind of a little scary on the topic, to be honest.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My doctor got kind of a little scary on the topic, to be honest.
The sinus infection, or the probiotic? (Sinus infections always freak me out slightly, because your brain is RIGHT THERE.)

The probiotic. He talked about some kind of bug that seems to be emerging that's kept in check normally by some of the bacteria that the antibiotic will kill off. So I'm on an antibiotic twice a day, and a probiotic twice a day. It's turned into a complicated pill-taking schedule.
It never occurred to me to be freaked out by a sinus infection. Until now.
