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.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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.

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

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.

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.

Maria, YAY! That is great news!
Kathy, Yikes!!! Glad you have a job but man, that's scary.
Happy Birthday, to the younger Mr. Smay.
Speaking of 15 y.o. boys... someone please tell me (lie if you have to) that 15.5 to 16 gets better? Trying to keep the youngest focused and teach him social/school work balance is making me crazy! He's always been the social one, but for some reason this year oy! he's just all over the place (damn those hormones). He's been up until midnight the last 2 nights doing homework, but I can't fault him for some of that he had band practice both days until 8, which is unusual but they miss next week because of Rosh Hashana, but still... I'm so thankful he's still getting A's and B's.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am wearing 3 earrings! Yay!
For the clumsier buffistae, among whom I count myself. Someone's done the math for how much bubble wrap you need to protect yourself from a fall, given a specific fall distance:
I wonder if OSHA accepts "lots of bubblewrap" as a fall arrest plan?

Oh, and happy birthday to Emmett!
