Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Ohhh, a thread I can catch up on. (I'll work on finishing out the other thread eventually)

So, we are home after a great trip. I woke up this morning all snotty, but at least that held off until after the trip. Sparky and family were great hosts and little Miss is adorable. Vortex and Bonnie - thank you so much for making time, it was wonderful to see your bright faces.

I have been posting pictures on FB, I may have a few I hadn't posted as they were taken, but most of the trip is chronicled there.

I'm trying to catch up on work...not fun.

Three days in a row, WTF?

I would be throwing some of them into the wood chipper by now.

please help me to be a patient, calm, kind and good daughter.

The universe needs to help your mother be a kind and good mother.

Good morning so far- came into work to find a quart of Vermont maple syrup AND a new Natter thread!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's quiet... for now. TOO quiet.

Anyway. I did something dumb. I bought a pretty black sweater at the local discount place, and when I got home I found the anti-theft device still attached. It never occurred to me to check if the cashier removed it! Now what? If I take it back to get it removed, they'll think I stole it! Damn. Anyone know how to remove these things, or what to do here?

If you have the receipt, it shouldn't be an issue...?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

take it back there with your receipt.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Note: I have been known to return the item altogether because of the inconvenience of having to return back to the store to get the tag off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I've had that happen and not had a problem. Possibly even without the receipt, due to my looking like a respectable white person.

Because books.

That happened all the time when I worked at H&M, Zen. If you have your receipt, it's no big. Once I actually removed a security sensor from something a customer bought at Macy's when they walked in and beeped -- they had a receipt, and we had the same security tags.
