You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Thrive to spite them

Teppy - I've been trying to find an excuse to try the 3 Penny Taproom.

Will called, there's not a lot of snow in his neck of the woods and I read on Facebook Rutland has very little snow.

The National Weather Service forecast doesn't look accurate. I went out to look at the pretty snow and someone was jogging. It made me briefly consider walking to the library but I think I'll make brownies instead.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Micro strokes are different from mini strokes, right?

That was the same day as my facebook status with the overheard at the gas station: "Hey, man, can we look at your cow?"

My dad had a special cow, Rex Rosanne, that had very high milk production. The company that bred Rex Rosanne's mom would organize trips to my parents' farm to see Rex in order to sell more bull sperm. Once about 20 Germans showed up to see her.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Did they buy the bull sperm?

I don't know--my dad never said.

I should have taught my dad to make sure to get all the details for his cow breeding stories.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Teppy - I've been trying to find an excuse to try the 3 Penny Taproom

I haven't eaten there, but my mom says it's pretty good. And has a ton of beer (which is less relevant to you, but Will is a beer fan, IIRC.)

Huh. Micro-strokes are just a different name for mini-strokes. I've had a few micro-strokes. I've read these are more common than doctors used to think, thanks to the increasing number of MRIs being performed (which is how they found mine).

Heart disease and cancer are fairly rare in my family too. So I may stroke out too.

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

..my life really isn't like your lives, is it?

We did heat with wood when we lived in the country in a 1904 farmhouse and discovered that it would probably have been cheaper to heat the house by burning dollar bills than what it cost to heat it with propane. In Georgia, however, we never had to be quite that prepared. I found splitting logs to be rather soothing. At least it's exercise that accomplished something tangible.

I'm sorry the universe is piling stuff on you at such a rate, Consuela.

Fingers crossed for the home infusion option, ita.
