msbelle, maybe start with Plenty of Fish? You'll get a weekly email from the guy forever, but it's free, and I'm pretty sure everyone in the world has an account there.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I need a motivational speaker (or a msbelle) to come yell at me. My apartment is the kind of messy that could become at least passably neat if I could just focus on it for about half an hour, and I have been trying since this afternoon, and it just keeps not happening.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have to go to bed now, but I can yell at you tomorrow after church.

Excellent! by then I should be back from TJs and target, and probably still not doing house stuff.

Hah! Just borrow one of my days of late.
Dog people, picture this: I went to let my neighbor's dogs out for a pee this am. Except it was their large lab, their exuberant lab-pit puppy AND their neighbor's matching siamese colored MASTIFF and pug. They all tried to kill me on the stairs down by all three big dogs trying to run between my legs. Mastiff definitely doesn't fit, shoulders hitting above my hip, and the lab, not really. I braced my arms on the walls and picked my feet up. Puppy nudged me in the ass at that point. And then the pug. Who was soundly asleep upstairs, having only one eye and being half deaf. Scared the shit out of her, and then she kept running into my leg down 2 sets of stairs. She's small but stout. Did I mention one-eyed?
Coming up the stairs, they ran me over, flat out. I just let them. Well, the pug, I carried.
I prefer cats.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is "you and me against the world, not "you and I", right?

Trust my rage
I think so because "I against the world" sounds weird.

People get told so often not to say "you and me" that they don't remember that it's sometimes the correct form.

Compassionately intolerant
Yep, It's 'me against the world.'
sarameg, I'm glad you kept your feet!
We have a rule in this house, and in the doggy lama houses. No dog and people on the stairs at the same time. With a crowd like that, though, I suppose a stampede is the only option.
Am I taking it correctly that you didn't know the herd was in house?
I am observing dog walkers for the company I'm partnered with and am finding it fairly common that clients neglect to mention when another dog is going to be present. Sigh. We are going to have to institute a penalty for such behavior.
It's clear that one of my primary tasks as Director of HR/PR is being a hard ass.
