All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Laura is wise.

My imagination is failing me. Under what circumstances would standing naked, stoned and sad help one win someone?

I think I missed something.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I so don't want to put my family through this.

Oh Ginger, I'm sorry to bring up morbid thoughts for you.

Both the person at the end of their time and the person on the loving support side have monumentally complex and difficult paths. We don't get to pick which side of the equation we end up on at any point in time. Both sides suck mightily.

This is so true, although I would also say there is a certain kind of grace that comes with the work of dying and grieving, or at least the possibility of grace if you can open yourself up to it.

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

Don't worry about that, Burrell. Some days looking at linoleum can bring up morbid thoughts.

Especially if the mice are pooping. Morbid mice, please.

My aunts has found comfort in that after 48 years, even with Frank gone, she knows exactly what his advice would be, though sometimes annoying. Even annoying is a blessing.

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

That Halloween prank would have made me crap my pants. I'm not even kidding.

Me too! Imagining just turning around and seeing that flying at me - I wouldn't realize what it was immediately. Hell, I once looked up and saw a hawk flying directly at me; it startled me, and it took a second for my brain to process what I was seeing as "that is a hawk".

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Question for my Halloween costume: I'm going as a 70's Disco Babe. I have a dress, but am wondering if I should wear pantyhose. Not tights. And if so, "suntan" or black?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Suntan. Black seems more 80s.

I'm trying to figure out how to get my sprained ankle to read as a peg leg.

Wear a boot and wrap kraft paper around it?

Tomorrow I will be feathering my hair for the first time since 1986. And wearing blue eyeshadow. FEAR ME!

Looks like b.org needs a jump start today!

Today my Rule of 5 things: Clean bathroom floor Put away clean laundry Sweep office (again) Change cat box Clean fridge

I also have to buy suntan hose, butter and lemon juice, and booze, because I am making a lemon bundt cake to take to the Halloween party.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was just thinking that I need to make a To Do List for the day/weekend. Mine does not involve bundt cake or pantyhose. However, learning the Cups cup sequence is on the list.

And, in brains are weird news, I woke up this morning with a song in my head that I haven't listened to or thought of in weeks.
