I am filled with angst and feelings of parental failure.

1. Are both children alive? Yes!

2. Are both children loved? Yes!

3. Do both children receive consistent boundaries on behavior? Yes!

Success!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yes they are loved and supported, but I still fucked up. Sigh

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the house, Kat. I'm sure that you'll find the right new place.

Pup of the day has an adorable single eyepatch.

And check out these portraits in the style of Flemish masters. Very cool.

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

Hmm; just spent 20 minutes researching 12th century Byzantine Greek burial practices; I have to wonder if the rest of the skeleton was found and if there were other injuries. The hole in the forehead doesn't seem to be an accepted practice; if the body were being prepped for taxidermy prior to burial, as was done in a few cases, perhaps, but I don't think a simple small hole in the forehead would be practical, were they removing brain tissues.

Since it was perimortem, I wonder if it was murder/vengeance. I am curious, though.

Although, given the convos by sinus/migraine sufferers on this board, I also wonder if the person had vicious headaches, and tried a "home remedy!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Strix: I'm assuming you had your name changed, but you left no crumbs back to the original identity, unless I'm missing something.

I was going to run 11 miles this morning (day off). Just don't want to. And I'm not gonna! I can't tell you how guilty this makes me feel.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have personally excavated a human skull, buried by itself, with a square, probably perimortem hole in the middle of the forehead not unlike the hole that would be made if one drove a hand-made iron nail into the forehead of a recently-deceased person. (Context was 13th c. AD, Corinth, Greece.)

Do-it-yourself trepanning - not as successful as we'd hoped.

Ha, I figured out who Strix is . . . hint: check Beep Me.

I'm finding the sudden rash of cannibalism in quite disturbing. Why is this happening?

Ah; I saw the latest post, not the one before it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, I could not possibly be any less interested in doing work today. Hmmmm.
