My condolences, Liese. It sounds pretty sad for everyone.
Happy Birthday Plei!
And Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads and dad-types on the board!
I got my dad a movie-theater gift card and a couple of sciencey-type books I thought he might like. And we're going on a hike with him this afternoon, and then there will be grilled steaks and a homemade blueberry pie.
It's kind of terrifying to realize that he's 83, and there won't be many Fathers' Days left.
I wouldn't have gotten my father anything, but circumstances meant that I got my mother stuff for mother's day, so I got him... some pig-shaped paper clips. He likes pigs!
I'm going to the Pirate Festival with my folks, because that's what my dad wanted to do for Father's Day. Give him a cannon battle and he's happy.
You spin me right ‘round, baby

This Flickr gallery is titled “You spin me right ‘round, baby.” It’s a collection of 16 faces of children as they are being spun around by an adult. These pictures aren’t easy to shoot, but the joy in the kids’ faces makes it very much worthwhile. Many different photographers are represented here.
Condolences on your loss, Liese.
Happy Birthday, Plei!
Happy Father's Day to all Buffista Daddys and DHs!
Many blessings on your day, Plei. May this be your very best year yet.
Happy birthday, PMM!
My cousin qualified for Wimbledon! Muffin pan is looking good!. I'm so excited. She's an incredible player--a firecracker. Unfortunately, way too short for the women's game. But her strength and speed go some way to making up for that.
God, the ER visit was
::long:: I think half of LA must have been in a car crash last night.
Muffin pan! I love the nickname!
Plei, happy birthday!
ita, ugh on a long ER visit. Actually ugh on an ER visit at all.
I just spent two hours henna-ing my hair which was both a fucking giant mess (more than any recent project including childbearing and making play doh) and a fail in doing what I wanted it to do (cover some of my gray). Chemical dyes here I come because then you only take 10 minutes and you don't leave me vaguely indigo-y.
I have removed my nail polish. That's enough of an accomplishment for the day, right?
