'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Good news, Dana.

ita !, I hope you're feeling better.

Dana,

I am relieved at the main part of your mother's news, but also that the valium helped. I had an MRI, I am not claustrophobic, and I thought I was going to die in that fucking tube. Good to know that should I need one in the future, I may succesfully get through it with a valium.

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

She was really funny about the valium. And also still slightly high when she called me, so very chatty.

Oh, Dana, that's a relief. Yay for the good news.

A Girl Scout volunteer here apparently made off with a troop's cookie money, and the local news had an adorable second-grade troop member on who recited the Brownie pledge and earnestly explained why taking the money was against the Girl Scout law. She said, "It says to be friendly and helpful in the law. That's one of the things people expect Girl Scouts to do."

This is like the third Girl Scout embezzlement case I've heard about in the past month! What is up with people taking cookie money away from Girl Scouts??

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yo, Zenkitty's cat. Those are only thoughts arising in your head, you do not have to share them with Zen. To be inside and want to be outside is suffering. To be outside and want to be inside is suffering. Be here now. Good kitty.

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

It's probably the most profitable business where POS is handled by nine-year-olds? There might be some issues with enacting adequate controls to segregate and secure assets.

Or it makes an adorable news hook, that could also be it.

Our wings are not tired.

Nice to hear the good news, Dana.

Perhaps when DH gets older he will be less chatty. As long as I have known him he has talked to all of the people all of the time. Grocery store lines, restaurants, beaches, parties. He just doesn't feel right if he doesn't talk to everyone. It has embarrassed the kids forever, but I find it amusing. I'm fairly social, but he is insanely social.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My father is chattier than ever in public, even though he has trouble putting a full sentence together -- he has as much trouble walking by someone without interacting.

Some of Hubby's issues is that he often stays home all day, either from pain or not having a reason to go out. (Thank god we got two cars so he can wander off when he wants.) He loved running the game store because he could chat about stuff he loved all day. His chattiness is why he's a great salesman.
