I just saw a post of a giraffe in a pool on tumblr and was about to submit to good stuff an. Then I realized it was good stuff.
As for falling out of the back of a pickup, that death happened multiple times in my hometown. They were all teenagers, although it was super common before the days of mini vans for all the kids to ride in the bed while the parents were in the cab. I think there even used to be sort of make shift seats on the wheels. But I am thinking there was some screwing around and or alcohol involved in the deaths. I will say that riding in the back of a pickup is nowhere near as drifting as riding in the back of a moving van and I am a scaredy cat!
Whoa, cable guy showed up unexpectedly, with neither of us really dressed. Nothing like hiding under a blanket while someone messes with your TV.
How did he get into your place, Dana?
Trickery.
No, he showed up to collect the cable box. And I realize that account of the story sounds a lot more salacious than it is. Husband answered the door. I stayed on the couch under my blanket, as I was in my pajamas and unable to entertain callers.

Oh, don't underestimate yourself.
I think I've discovered a win-win way to end a conversation with a person who keeps jabbing back for the last word. Offer them the last word, since it clearly means a lot to them.
My god--Modcloth has some hideous swimsuits. Look at this: [link] -- who does that flatter? And if you can't find a good model for this [link] I'm not going to risk buying it.
They have a number of classic standards, but some of their deviations are dodgy as all fuck.
And I would love to rock this [link] but I'm not sure who (apart from the model) can.

Oh my.
Jesus fuck. Now I think my cat is having an

issue. If I have to take him to the vet this week, I might cry.

When it's just too hot to wear your mom jeans to the beach.
I could rock the high-bottom, but what's up with the strings?
Oh, Jesse. That sucks so much. And even more for your poor kitty!
It's something that the military is aware of, but tends to get glossed over, but massive troop deployment always winds up taking its share of casualties on shit like that. I was surprised to find out that friendly fire accounts for about 20% of battle casualties.
Far and away one of the most unsettling aspects of reading (your friend) Hillenbrand's book Unbroken was the startling number of lives lost in training, rescue attempts, etc.
