Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Our wings are not tired.

Twice yesterday at the airport, airline personnel pulled April Fool's jokes. One said, "Sorry, the flight's cancelled. April Fool's!" and then the attendant said, as we landed, "Welcome to Seattle!"

That's just plain mean!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

erinaceous's column for tomorrow's Globe sort of speaks to this issue, although it's about other stuff: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not aware of spaz ever having a clinical association in the US that didn't leak over from the UK. Not a cerebral palsy related one, anyway. So I don't think of it as something diluted by the passage of time.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

What we need are more insults from sf shows.

Why is the only team the Nationals can beat is the Braves? Also, hail delay?

The excitement here over the last few days has been the appearance of a young dog who looks a lot like a Shiba Inu. He jumped effortlessly over the 4-foot chain link fence into my neighbors' yard, bonded with the two dogs there, and settled in. He's also jumped the fence into my yard at least once. Mr Peabody is hysterical about having a strange dog next door. He has no collar and doesn't seem to have anyone looking for him. Unfortunately, he's going to have to go to a shelter.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Well, I'm at my mom's now.

Guess who did not need an extender seat belt on the plane? And guess who was able to pull down the tray and not have to negotiate around her stomach? I was doing a sitting-down version of my Happy Dance before I remembered where I was.

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

Awesome, Kathy! I'm so pleased for you!

I have determined the ultimate time suck: Drench PLUS HGTV. I'd swear I just sat down.

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

That is awesome, Kathy! Go, you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kathy, that's fantastic! You're making amazing progress.
