Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, breakfast potatoes. I love breakfast potatoes.

This is why I sometimes give in and wait the interminable amount of time for Thursday omelets in our cafeteria. The potatoes are GREAT. I wonder if I could just get a side of them. Hmmmmm.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There's a New York yoga studio that does Buddha Belly yoga ... they turn away people who're thin.

I do believe the day will come when we look back and say, "Can you believe we used to treat cancer by giving people poison and hoping it killed the cancer before it killed the patient?" However, that day is not here, and just because it's an imperfect system does not mean that the answer is to turn yourself over to a Mexican clinic that prescribes juiced raw carrots and liver.

And leeches are making a comeback.

In regard to floods, my mother lived through the 1935? 1937? flood in Louisville - she remembers them delivering mail and supplies by rowboat.

eta: is Yvonne the cow replacing Heidi the cross-eyed possum as Germany's new animal star?

That's neat, Kathy. Things you don't even realize beforehand that will change.

Can't believe the bus driver didn't stop.

I am shopping for a dress for my nephew's wedding today, which will pretty much make it impossible to keep ignoring the 15 lbs. I've put back on in the past few months. Blergh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Please CC me on your correspondence with them, and I want to sit in on the meeting."

I would take yourself out of it. "The project requires that I am cc'ed on emails and sit in on the meeting." It isn't something YOU want, it's something that is good for the company.

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

You're allowed to do that?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You're allowed to do that?

Actually, weight is not a protected class, so I believe you can turn someone away for being too fat or too thin.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I really did not need to see flea's post today. DH's surgery is Friday and I am so scared that it's not going to be good news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Vibing for a good outcome, Maria.
