I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I'm so, so sorry, Burrell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I think it is just me and one other person in my department who do not have this terrible cold going around -- and I took a sick day yesterday! So I keep telling everyone that I am not sick! (I was out with female troubles.) (I reserve the right to get sick later...)

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

I'm very sorry for your loss, Burrell.

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

Burrell, I am so sorry to hear about your sister.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate dealing with umbrellas. The cheap ones break and I end up leaving the expensive ones on trains.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Burrell, I am so sorry. Peace to you and your family.

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

I didn't get to sleep until 4, and then a guy called at 8:30, so I had to get up and dressed. (Forgot to take the bra off the stairs, whoops.)

Right now, I'm still conscious and surprisingly cheerful, but that may not last.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have a peculiar curse -- the inverse relationship between how expensive an umbrella is and how long I can keep it. If I bought a $40 umbrella it would disappear within a week. Given a cheap umbrella as a giveaway (or once, buying a $2 umbrella in a secondhand store because I needed it right there that moment) and I have the use of it for years.
