'Hell Bound'
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.
In college, my friend Jody was engaged to Steve, and he hooked up with another friend, Sam, and she got pregnant. They've been happily married for almost 18 years now and J partnered with a woman and they have a child together, and all are friends. But it was a HUGE drama in our circle of friends my last year of college; J was my roommate and S & Sam(antha) were close friends.
The baby graduated high school today. Holy shit.
Kid I used to babysit now writes for the New Yorker. And is married with a sweet baby boy of his own.
This is terrifying. [link]
Yeah. We're old.
And I can't look at the tornado info. You guys are gonna have to take this one for me. I did okay with my presentation on Japan disaster relief, but to be frank, my 9 Navajo students were more effective at raising money than the 250 people at church, including the church leadership. But anyway, between that and the SO's strep, and normal summer stressiness, I can't handle any additional disasters, so you guys gotta grieve them for me.
....And, that's all right, Liese.
The Rapture Happened...No one was worth saving? funny Onion-esque piece.
A kid I used to babysit is some sort of assistant coach or trainer or something for Rutgers football. (I didn't babysit him as a baby, though -- his family moved in down the street from mine when he was in kindergarten and I was in sixth grade.)
Yeah, a kid I used to babysit for when she was an infant had a baby a month ago. I'm old.
Erin and Aurelia, I hope your friends and family are safe.
I've been on hold with the post office (need to make an appt to get the kids' passports!) for 20 minutes now. Bail and call back, or keep holding? This is the first time I've even gotten this far - someone DID pick up the phone and put me on hold vs ringing endlessly before hanging up automatically.
[Bailed, called back, got called a liar for claiming I'd been on hold for half an hour. Decided to take my chances at the county clerk's office instead (they don't take appointments).]
Thank you, Jessica. I'm going on the premise that no news is good news. I'm hoping that my mom will check in with the family in that part of the state and let me know tonight. Based on the weather reports I watched last night I'm really only worried about the cousin in Aurora and the cousin who could have been traveling between Joplin and Fayetteville.
