My parents lucked out—although they came up snake eyes in the daughter-in-law and grandchildren crapshoot, we have a good relationship and my youthful rebellion consisted of being a sloppy dresser in high school. Apparently Mom's goody-two-shoes childhood overbalanced the karmic payback from Dad's upbringing as part of a pack of Devil-children.

There's nothing like driving to give me feelings of inadequacy. This is partly because I am aware that driving is the most dangerous thing I do and I have no illusions that I am in control. This is what happens when someone does a lot of research into risk.
My dad's been gone for 20 years, and I've never been anything but happy that he's gone, although I sometimes mourn what he could have been.
I don't even know if my father's alive or dead. Don't care much. Mainly I'd like some of his DNA for a paternity test. Nothing would make me happier than to find out for certain that he wasn't my biological father.
Not only are you allowed to have a car, but you have your own demographic sterotype. Sporty two-door, 4 cylinder engine, automatic transmission.
Dagnabbit, no one told me! Crap.
You know how insane George Will is when you realize he's probably never lived in a city without heavily-used mass transit.
He grew up in Champaign-Urbana, IL.
Why is tumblr down so much? It's a cute graphic by the Oatmeal, really it is. But I'm sick of seeing it.
Victims of their own success?
I just had to tell someone no, while a higher-up kept saying maybe later. I kind of hate that.
Holli (or any other Abilify takers) - do you take it in the mornings or evenings? I have been taking it in the morning and the last two days I HAD to take a nap (versus just really wanting one).
I'm so glad my work has been great about all this. Yesterday I was going to work while getting my infusion but the wifi was iffy. I came home and expected to jump into work but after half an hour I HAD to get some sleep. Today has been better but not by much.
Well, this exists. It's the Dogbrella, a combo of a dog leash and an umbrella, and it is pretty amazing.
See, dogs just can't handle the rain! So in order to protect them from that dastardly water, you can just hold this ridiculous thing over your pooch. The attached chain will make sure they stay under its protective shield. And your other hand will presumably be free to hold an umbrella for yourself. Unless you need that hand to carry your doggie's treats, because it doesn't matter if you get wet as long as your precious pooch is taken care of.
