You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Aw. Thanks for all the kind words. Even though they're coming from a bunch of atheists!

Alas for those Christians who hold the attitude, "Insult them all, God will know his own."

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

Watching the Memorial in Tuscon. President Obama just said that the Congress woman has opened her eyes, right after he and Michelle left the room.

Also, her husband, who is short, hugging the burley intern who held her and staunched her wounds, made me tear up.

I took a nap when I got home from work and only just woke up. That was 3 hours ago.

I turned on Human Nature to find that show about raising a baby (Raising Hope?) and the Tucson Memorial.

And it's true: Obama has gone quite gray. Or possibly . . . grey.

Our wings are not tired.

I tried to watch the memorial but couldn't deal with the clapping (?!) and turned it off after 3 minutes. I am watching less and less live tv.

Saturday I watched news coverage of the attack and it was the most (live) tv I'd watched since the World Series. I don't miss it at all. However, I am a baseball nut so Comcast will own my soul for this sin (about 2/3s of the Giants games require "preferred" cable, which is one level above basic).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

As for the food map, I was very pleased to see that they had toasted ravioli for Missouri as is right and proper.

Is this a St. Louis thing?

Evanston police arrested three alleged burglars after tracking footprints in the snow leading from the burglarized house, officials said today.

Haha!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Is this a St. Louis thing?

Yes it is, and it is delicious (breaded, deep fried meat ravioli, with marinara sauce for dipping).

They gave KC's food to Kansas.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

A dojo friend asked on FB if she could bring me anything. I asked for Vitamin C and some cough drops. She stopped by a bit ago, handed off a bag and hightailed it away from the germs.

OMG, she went crazy at the store. Cans of Chicken Noodle soup, Popsicles, 2 bottles of Vitamin C, day time and night time cough medicine, Halls cough drops, and throat spray. I feel completely spoiled. Now if only the ick would go away. Then I need to figure out a way to thank her.
