This link will self-destruct later, but I just have to share.

We had family pictures taken when I was on vacation a month ago. I think this is my absolute favorite. It shows my nephew's personality SO much: [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, cute kid!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

quester, obviously your brother was having a big stoner/BDSM/X party, and you are a clean-living teetotalling vanilla celibate.

I mean, that's the logical assumption, right?

Ok, I have to go get groceries, but now I think I may try to persuade my husband to go get fancy ice cream with me first!

move out and draw fire

Pix, ND, tons and tons of good vibes coming your way. I hope they find the problem and enact a solution way fast.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

It's more likely they just planned it at a family gathering and didn't think to invite anyone else, with school beginning and all. At least that's what I hope.

Cass, there's also this one that has kind of hilarious backstory. Every time we get family pictures taken, we sibs (with SIL) do a silly picture. Last time we did the cuckoo pose from Sound of Music. This time, we all laid across a table pretending to look serious. Until a little boy decided he just couldn't be left out of this picture and crawled up onto the table to pose just like mama, daddy, auntie, and uncle. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard (photographic evidence of laughter: [link] If you look really hard you can see nephew's hair poking over us). But, it ended with this great picture, which really, no one else will probably get how funny and cool and special it is, but I'll love it anyways: [link]

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

amyth- not recently, but i used to live half a block away, and now i'm more like a 20 minute drive away. That's like a whole world in Portland!

quester- i'm sure there's a reason....but i'd be sulking in hole at the perceived insult. it has also been pointed out that due to adolescent and teenage shunning i'm super paranoid about that sort of thing.

Our wings are not tired.

I love that picture of Coop. His expression is priceless. That's frame-worthy.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Here it is past 4:30, and maintanance guy has not called yet. So I call him. "Oh yeah. I've been down stairs working on these doors. I couldn't find a replacement hose with out a picture..." Bunch of BS. Dude. That is pretty much all weekend waiting for you. I'm quietly pissed. The dude is nice guy, but this is getting close to a raw nerve. So I said, "when will this be fixed". "When are you off again" "Saturday. Let's schedule a time. How about 10am on Saturday" "OK, that sounds good". Fucker better fix it, or I'll be pissed. I've been here 3+ months!

But speaking of being a jerk. >[link] Mooom! Erin is teasing us with natural ice cream! No fair!

Omnis, I think the problem is that you're striking an iconic James Bond smug pose, but without that context, it just looks a bit smug. Context is everything sometimes. Most times.
That's what I was suspecting, so I left it up there.

Omnis, I'm glad I'm not the only one having absolutely no luck with OKCupid. So sick of the whole thing, actually.
Yeah, I'm making a concerted effort to try. But it sucks all around. Not sure if it's the profile, the pictures, the notes I send, or just horrible at picking someone who would pick me. Haven't given up yet. Yet. But frustrating all the same. I'm not a bar person. And I reallly realllly reallly suck at asking women out. I am so not a player. But also hate being alone.

ION, just watched "No Impact Man" docu flick. The dude was a little crazy. I like the notion. And a lot of it was cool. The two things that made me go "really?" was no toilet paper, and no fridge (no power). Dude. Farmers Market is only on the weekends. You have a baby. How do you expect to keep food fresh all week? A cooler? And where is the ice coming from?
