I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I'll be happy to believe in Bigfoot, when (1) someone finds the DNA, or (b) a Sasquatch steps in front of my car.

Considering how much hitting a deer can mess up a car (and its driver), I'd not be so happy to believe in case (b). More like, my last words would be "ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm assuming, in that scenario, that I would stop in time to avoid hitting my Sasquatch, and we would stare dumbfounded at each other for a moment until he loped off into the nearby woods and disappeared, and I would spend the rest of my life never telling anyone. But I'd know.

My husband LOVES Finding Bigfoot. And he has a PhD! In Science! But he loves the idea of cryptozoology. I have to leave the room, although I love the stoner guy Bobo, who is exactly like a guy I worked with on every single archaeology field project I did in the US.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hey, so I have a new stepbrother!

I mean, not NEW new: he's, like 48. But he was born and given up for adoption a few years before (step)mum's first marriage, and they only just found each other and met for the first time this weekend. I'm amazed and thrilled and overwhelmed for everyone, and I can't even BEGIN to imagine how it must be for them. Just, wow.

(also: family resemblance so strong that if he and my sis had ever walked down the same street at the same time they would've reunited decades ago. DEAD. RINGERS.)

Well, Yankee-istas will be happy to know that Rhode Island is surprisingly squatchy. I guess.

ETA: Congratulations, Amych!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's amazing, amych.

Awesome that you heard from Miss Louise, sara!

And ita, I see the same thing as everyone else using IE (I know, I know) on a Windows machine.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

More like, my last words would be "ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!?"

If he is, your death will also tell us something about Sasquatch's regular diet.

Hey, so I have a new stepbrother!

Wow! Very cool. How's your step-mom dealing with it?

Stunned, thrilled, mixed with random bursts of tears? You know, like you do with huge life-realigning things.
