I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I find this even more appropriate than usual. sigh ... it's been one of those years.

However! new thread!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Hi thread. Is that a shiny new year coming I see?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

2011 is ending for me on the high note of being in the first 10 posters.

I've got most of the stuff bought to make my giftee's package, I'm just slacking on the making part of it.

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

I received the most wonderful TJ's package from dcp. I am hording it like crazy. The kids know I have goodies and keep asking me what I'm going to share next. Bah, humbug. They can get their own TJ connection. Today I sent out my part of the TJ's exchange with non-TJ's goodies.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I suggested the name based on a conversation in which I got confused and couldn't remember which were the better Star Trek movies.

Hello new thread. I woke up when ND came to bed at 3am and now can't fall back asleep. Argh. Alarm goes off in two hours. Also, still relying on phone since Internet and cable have still not yet been restored. It's getting old.

Just like this year! Look, I'm on topic.
