Will I be able to teach myself to make a spreadsheet?
You'll get the hang of it pretty quick. And lots of helpers here if you get stuck.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
BMWs and Priuses here. Good lord, they're prevalent.
What she said.
Hey, guess who turns 8 today? My not-so-little boy, that's who.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
WHAT? That can't be right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy cow!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's really weird how he became older than his sister.

Aw, man -- George Jones died. [link] I was literally just thinking of him yesterday.

Heh, not quite, she's still 9. He does however outweigh her by about 10 pounds, and he matches her in height inch for inch.

Dang, Burrell! Though I think it's Jess's baby who I can't get over being not-a-baby anymore.
Oh, yes. I like seeing the predominant species in different areas. There's a high concentration of Hondas and Toyotas where I live, and a noticible number of Mini Coopers. When I visit my sister in MI, Fords and Chevys predominate (unsurprisingly).
Hah--I knew I was not home, yesterday, when I was driving from Iowa to Nebraska and was SURROUNDED by pickup trucks. And not tiny ones. Ford F-150s all the way--two in front of me, one behind me, and two passing me, on the highway. I was like "Dang, are you ALLOWED to buy other cars here?!"
And my jury trial in DC was madness--it was supposed to be a couple days, lasted a week and a half, and ended in a hung jury, over a whole complex possible threatening of a witness in a case where the dude had already been tried for murder but got his girlfriend to befriend one of the jurors and get a hung jury...(ETA: we went 11-1 on whether he'd asked someone to kill the witness--totally believable. We went 9-3 the *other* way on whether the dude he asked to kill the witness really meant it when he said yes--part of the point being he'd been out of jail for like, two months before the cops picked him up on this idea that he was going to kill the witness, and he hadn't done it yet)

Happy 8 to Lillian's due-date twin!
Smart Cars are cute, but Toyota makes a car that is bigger yet cheaper and with better gas mileage.
The iQ? Which also fits more people?
I hate Smart Cars. They're small, yes, but the gas versions have ridiculously poor fuel economy for their size, considering my Mini is managing to average 34 with me doing a lot of city driving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The iQ? Which also fits more people?
No, the Yaris.
eta: It seems the Smart Car does get better mileage than the Yaris. I heard the opposite, but maybe things have changed in the last few years.
