You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's great, Kathy!

I hope the stray will end up with a home, Ginger.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Woo hoo Kathy!

If I happen to without thinking about it and get called on it, it won't have been with intent, but it'll still be a fair cop.

Yep, this is me too. I will do my absolute best not use it on the board because we do have international Buffistas, but it's so innocuous in my particular region and vernacular that I doubt I'll always remember in my offline life.

Seconded. Shiba's are pretty popular these days and if this one is so chill as to immediately bond with strange dogs, it has clearly been well socialized.

I'm voting for a chip and reunion with a loving family!

Yay Kathy. That is so great. So liberating!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have been messing with my Amazon wish lists all afternoon. I hadn't been to Amazon in a while. I added a bunch of stuff, and now with my Kindle, mom can just give me books.

I need a new power adapter though.

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

Yay, Kathy!

He's really cute and mellow. I'd be tempted, but aside from the financial considerations, he can jump over the fence.

Our wings are not tired.

I adore Shibas and Jindos but I think you all know that.

I just Googled the name of a woman I knew in the mid-1990s. She was part of a Hollywood circle that I was in (my ex-fiance is an editor) and she was a terribly pompous, mean, bitchy person. In "our" circle, of which I was pretty much the only civilian, she was one of the lesser accomplished people industry-wise, and she was just so fucking grouchy all of the time. She was the epitome of "mean girls".

Anyway the Google results completely crack me up because after she wrote a slew of the MTV Real World books, she went on to become a YA author. Of probably really insightful and kind books. Such irony. Maybe she's really nice now. Who knows, that was 15 years ago.

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

Who knows, that was 15 years ago.

I know that the me of now is very different than I was 15 years ago.

I've finally gotten to the point where I feel sympathy for my past self rather than simply wanting to kick her in the ass repeatedly.

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

15 years ago I was 5 months pregnant with CJ and felt I was stuck in my marriage with no hope of escape. Took a while, but yeah, I have changed a bunch since then.

Speaking of, I can't believe you had him driving. I can never, ever tell Ben this. He just turned 14 in February, but still. Yikes.
