I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I dun geddit. Their gf's wanted to thank me, in detailed description for their, um, "attributes". No, really, no thanks! All them! Nothing to do with me!

Wow. That's some open communication. Yikes. And this is coming from a woman who can pretty much talk to anyone about anything.

I love the look of relief on my clients' faces when I wave past their hesitance and start speaking comfortably about sex.

But a son's girlfriend? No thanks!

I KNOW, right? Ugh.

Somehow I got to be a default confidant and de facto counselor (yes, I was seeing someone myself. Yes, I checked my responses with the pros) for a lot of their friends. But TMI is still TMI.

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

There are *lines* people. Lines that should never be crossed. Lines that should be more heavily fortified than the Maginot Line, and defended just as forcefully.

Bev, this is one of those lines.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

(Yes, I threw up in my mouth a little just writing that.)

I was wondering if the brain worms had gotten to you.

Jilli, I downloaded a Gorey font that would be perfect for you. Not sure how easy it would be to tattoo, though.

Ooooh, tell me the name of it! Pete may have it on his computer already.

Whereas when Dad started talking to me about the possibility of him socializing/dating, I said "You have needs, I completely understand, I don't think you're trying to replace Mom. Oh, and never give a porn site or escort your credit card number."

Because books.

It's simply called "Gorey," Jilli.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YES.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Telling your dad about being careful with porn sites is just being a responsible daughter in this case, Jilli. Dad would never try to replace your mom but he's human.

Best thing about free internet on smartphones on this plane? Maps! I can try and figure out where I am!

I'm over Lake Tahoe!

I am ridiculously easy to please with a window and a map.
