My MiL used to have these in her yard. They'd appear after dark, when the grass was wet with dew. Bright red, and smaller than some ants, they were adorable. Like make-believe lizards.

And then there was the pet toad that lived in my deck garden--less than a half-inch long and broad, grey and white and black, chowing through tiny insects. He lasted the whole summer--I don't know what happened to him (or her, how does one tell, with toads?) in the fall.

My ginormous hips mean everyone gets to see even more pretty flowers than they otherwise might.

Very nice!

I wish there was a flag you could put on an email to make it unshareable. Like, someone couldn't reply to it and add recipients. I kinda didn't necessarily want everyone to see that precise language. It's just...it removes a facet of control, you know?

There already kinda is. [link]

Been around for ages.

I just almost sent a document with the typo "exteranal" instead of external. I can't stop laughing.

It is beautiful here today. Warm enough for flip flops and short sleeves.

The shoulder is doing pretty well. I just hate wearing a bra cause the strap rubs against the incisions. I see the doc tomorrow for my follow-up.

I'm encouraging my little bit of lemon balm to take over my lawn, but the bermuda grass is fighting back.

What?? That's like magic!

I don't know enough about the gaming thread to interrupt

Interrupt away. When we have a game in progress, we mark all the posts so game and not-game posts can coexist peacefully.

Yeah, that requires a Windows Live ID, and I'm sure would send off all sorts of red flags with our very sensitive Security Officer. Man, I'd love to get a job being paranoid, and getting the tools to exercise the paranoia. Because people *are* out to get you! That's the beauty of it!

Timelies all!

Yay for good news, Maria!

It's warm here. Supposed to be in the 70s for the rest of the week.
