Connor ,'Not Fade Away'
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.
Okay, maybe this meeting is kinda boring. And maybe I'm being rude by using my tablet during it. Okay. No maybe either way.
They faked us out by saying they'd subsidise our phones. Then they took it back. No fair.
Happy birthday aurelia. Good med ma, Maria.
There is no time today to do work. Sucks.
Woo hoo, Steph!
Woo, Tim! Tell me y'all are keeping the oscilloscope, though.
Much~ma to Maria and DH, and Theo's brother.
ita, this is where working from home is awesome....I'm on a concall and my netbook AND my work laptop doing work! And no one knows...ooh.
Also: I AM NOT A COWGIRL.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
Tell me y'all are keeping the oscilloscope, though.
Oh HELL yeah.
Dang is right, Tep. GO TIM!
Also, woo hoo, Amy!
Lots of ~ma for your brother, Theo.
Mom update: she's been doing better with the gluten-free diet, but I'm not sure how much better. Anything better would be a great improvement. The big news is that she made the decision to go into assisted living. I was worried she'd be seriously depressed at the thought, but she's actually sounding very up about it, and she managed to get into a place she liked despite the waiting list (those ahead of her hadn't responded, so she scored bigtime there).
This will make going up to visit a lot different, but with her being almost 90, that was most likely going to be the case at some point in the not too distant future. I'm going up this weekend and I'll find out more details/logistics (my annual escape Salem during Halloween expeidition, but I need to go up anyway).

::sigh:: I'm envious. If only my mother would consider going into assisted living, but even when she wasn't demented she was irrational on the subject, and now she just flips out when we bring it up. Argh.
Happy birthday aurelia!
I know where you can get a new cowgirl hat, cowgirl!
I really cannot believe the drill press is gone, Steph. It's like a tenet of my fundamental belief in the universe is gone. Your driveway looks amazing, completely different! Tim is totally a ROCK STAR and you can tell him we said so.
Yay for Gud's kids. They are smartypants like you! Now it only remains to see if they have inherited the couch-flipping proficiency genes.
I can't remember what I meant to post about myself. Brane shot.
Oh, right! So I want patted on the back because yesterday I was having a down day, but not only did I get out of the house and see friends, but I also submitted a song lyric to the Great American Songwriting contest, due today, which is a great contest because it gives specific feedback. So thanks to Hyperbole, because I did touch a metaphorical jillifont, even though my down was only a little down, it was totally helpful to recognize it.
