Another of the idiot things I've been watching while home alone is Family Feud. The question is "Name something that follows the word 'pork'?"
This guy just answered "upine."
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

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

Oh, wonderful news, msbelle!
I spent the afternoon in meetings. Not getting work done, getting work added. After 2.5 days of meetings. And apparently I am an Executive Stakeholder in something. I think they are on crack, because they've put me on par with the CIO. But whatever. And next week, 4 days of 4 hrs each of training.
Yes, getting work done, I'm doing it at some point here.
My skin is being stupid and my shoulder hurts when I'm not using it only. Technically the muscles around/under the scapula. But still. And I don't have enough hummus for lunch tomorrow. And I still need to call my insurance guy to drop some coverage. And pay that bill.
My brain is a rabid squirrel right now.

Julie,
I'm not sure what your brothers got into, but you had a string of bad luck. It doesn't sound to me, given what you have discussed here, that you said "fuck it", ignored all of your responsibilities, fled to Mexico, and had a general devil may care attitude. We all have scrapes we get into in life where we need help.
I think you should just talk to your mother. If your brothers have been screwups, it sounds to me like you need the fair share of attention anyway. Don't let the screwups hog all the attention and time!

I love nuts. Even the ones with gross nicknames.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My hangup as a child was that I was the one they took off the shelf to show off how awesome I was, and then put me back to collect dust, and that the grief my parents got was enough from my brothers that they didn't need more from me. And they give me enough hassle about how my job doesn't pay me a living wage, so any attempt at asking for financial help results in interrogations about what exactly I'm doing with the money I do get (I swear, they'd give me five grand for a vacation, but if I ask for help paying my bills there's a swinging exposed bulb over my head).
But I am going to have to suck it up this time. Oh god.

HAH, 28 made me laugh out loud.
I've always preferred Boston to Manhattan. Maybe because I grew up with it, or that it's smaller and more knowable, or that it's more visibly older (and therefore has more personality and quaintness), but dang, that is my city.

Man, I have to go. (I wanted to anyway, in spite of Denis Lehane.)
