I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think my cable, which is supposed to cut out tomorrow, just stopped dead in the middle of the Opening Ceremony.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Queen's oh so enthusiastic pronouncement to let the games begin cracked me up.

The cauldron is gorgeous!

MARY POPPINS.

Has good video of that hit anywhere online yet? My search isn't turning any up, but my Google-fu isn't as good as some of you folks.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Bon, I asked my orthro about a letter for flying. He said they used to issue cards for people, like with hip replacements, but the TSA ignores them now.

So get a letter from your ortho if the flight's post surgery and you have a half cast, a wrap and dressings that can't be removed yet, but you will have to be wanded and body-searched, I'm afraid.

Signed, Your Bionic Arm sister (a plate and 7 screws) -- we fight crime!

I'm getting a plate and screws in my arm Monday. What I didn't realize was that it would be permanent!

Non-permanent pins and screws and things stick out of the body. It's very awkward during the healing process.

Someone nearby just started band practice (or sound check). Drum kit and electric guitar starting at 1:30am? That's bound to make some people cranky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As a person whose face doesn't look at all happy at rest, I have to say that if I had just celebrated my Diamond Jubilee, I wouldn't be making my face smile for five hours, either. I heart the Queen.

Now, why I woke up at 6 and stayed up is a mystery. Why I woke up isn't that much of a mystery, because my cat was yelling in the other room. Which is actually a reassuring sign, because I think all the puking gave him a sore throat or something, but he's been pretty quiet for a while.

Trust my rage

Although the Queen was undeniably frowny, I think she is a beautiful woman. And I really liked her dress.

So, not only did they not let Beckham on the football team, they didn't even let him come all the way into the stadium?? I call bullshit.

Hah, yes.
