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

Birthday Happies, Hil!

Happy Birthday, Hil!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jess! Do you have a relative in the Cincinnati area named Sally? A friend apparently knows her. (I found this out last night, and when he said her last name, I was all, "Waaaaait a minute. WORLDS ARE COLLIDING.")

Because books.

Happy birthday, Hil!

If it's the same Sally, that's my mom's first cousin. Does she have a sister named Lela?

If it's the same Sally, that's my mom's first cousin.

Has a farm? Or lives in a rural area? (I didn't catch all the details.) My friend has his own machine shop, and I think he builds things for her.

t edit I don't know about a sister. My friend just mentioned her name and that she lives out in a rural area, sort of off the grid.

That sounds like her! [edit, and she spells it Sallie]

Here's a mention of her farm in Cincinnati Magazine (scroll down):

That has to be her, based on the location. Small world, man. (Also, I eat at several of the restaurants she supplies. That's pretty cool.)

not your mom's socks.

Happy Birthday, Hil!

Thanks again for the ~ma. A couple more scans to come that I'm trying hard not to worry about, and a new perscription (yes there was a bit of new-drug freakout, but no, I did not bring the blue-confetti explosion to the board this time. YET.) Hopefully this all just falls under 'weird chemistry,' per usual. I could live with that. Fingers are crossed.

Meantime, the madness continues at casa Sox. HPF seems desperate to get a retainer/orthodontia. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT. (what is up is that all her friends have them. I kind of remember wanting braces for the same reason. boy was _that_ a rude wakeup.)
