she did say she's noticing more dirt
Hah--that totally sounds like something my mom would say after eye surgery!!
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Both DH and the sons were out one afternoon when Dad fell. There was no way Mom and I could get him up ourselves. She wanted to call the neighbors, but the one man young and strong enough to help was himself in bed with an illness. It was complicated by the fact that Dad was nude from the waist down.
Luckiy one of the sons' friends came by looking for him. I explained the situation, and he volunteered in a flash, made a gentle joke that eased the situation for all concerned, and got Dad squared away with little fuss.
But we'd have had to call the EMTs if he hadn't shown up right then.

My mom had to call the fire department when my dad had been injured (knee and arm when he fell down some stairs) and then fell down at home and couldn't get up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, my grandmother called the fire department a bunch of times, when my grandfather was slipping out of the sling thing that got him between his bed and his chair. Just make sure they don't break your door down, and they are very helpful!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. The Guinness world record holder for plastic surgeries looks remarkably normal, compared to a lot of the cases we get shown in Hollywood.

Yeah, her face looks quite normal, all things considered....

Scrappy (or anyone else who cares to have a look), as an HR person, what do you think of this? [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not bad. I really agree on the "objective" comment, ESPECIALLY since the objective is usually "To get[the job I am applying for right now]." Duh.
The whole show don't tell thing is very good, but don't think the person reading your resume is a dope and use that to lie. If your job was as a server at IHOP, describing accomplishments like "managed meal delivery" is just a waste of paper.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Puh-lease. Everyone knows it's "managed just-in-time logistics for meal delivery" anyway.

Very important question! Why are people playing Words with Friends instead of Lexulous for fake Scrabble?
