This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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

Some of them also have a space for "complexion," but that seems like it was pretty subjective

Given that I am trying to buy foundation, I'd say yes. Rassenfrassen.

OK, creepy solicitor moment: someone voting canvasser just knocked on my door and addressed me BY NAME. Freaked me out so much I just shut the door. Do NOT want strangers WHO KNOW WHERE I LIVE addressing me by name.

ACK! DO NOT WANT! KILL THEM WITH FIRE! Um, I have issues. And shutting the door on them is probably better than the fire thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My nephew has to keep a journal for school and write one thing every day. Today's entry:

When I am 100 years old I will be all wrinkley. I will live at the Take Care Center and everybody will have to take care of me. I won't be able to take the dog for a walk because I will have a cane.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

How do I get in on this Take Care Center thing? Some dog walk help wouldn't hurt either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Given that I am trying to buy foundation, I'd say yes. Rassenfrassen.

I hear CVS takes returns, but have not tested this myself. Of course, after breaking down and buying pricey foundation at Sephora recently, I realize I can buy a couple of drugstore mistakes and still come out ahead financially....

Allyson, that's so cute! We are moving my MiL into assisted living tomorrow and I think I will start calling it "the Take Care Center", it is a pretty apt description.

My sister in law says that he's basically living in a take care center except he doesn't have wrinkles and a cane.

My niece is 3 and bitchy.

Daycare teacher: Neavie, that's a beautiful dress!

Neavie: It doesn't come in your size. It only comes in princess size.

Coming out of a two-day work conference for our marketing organization. My sub-group of that had a get together thing and we were asked to collect one unusual or unexpected thing about each person. (We all know each other pretty well so it wasn't offputting.)

Out of twelve people, three (including me) modeled for the Sears catalog as toddlers, I was born in the same hospital as one of my remote coworkers, two went to school with Jennifer Garner, one was the 4H club barbeque champ of Arkansas, and Chris O'Donnell owes one of us 75 cents from a bet at camp that he welshed on.

That is an excellent collection.

An excellent collection indeed!

My roommate was just all "Got a minute?" --because his girlfriend can't find a sublettor (she's moving to San Francisco for the summer??) suddenly he's decided to move into her place while she's gone and then get a place together (he and I had talked about whether they'd be doing that, but he said not until at least September, and maybe longer). ARGH. Do not want to find new roommate. ESPECIALLY do not want to find new roommate ASAP. GRRRRRRRR.
