Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I hope H's recovery goes smoothly, Bev, and that he is a good patient (for both your sakes).

Anyhow, I'm wishing I hadn't said anything at the art store, but what's done is done. I figure with the holidays coming up, more and more people will be Behaving Badly Under Pressure. I just don't want to wind up joining their numbers.

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

At the mall. Why the fuck are we at the mall.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

At the mall. Why the fuck are we at the mall.

Turn around and run home!

Can't run. With in-laws. Contentious dinner with difficult family members later.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Hope H recovers well. Also hope Teppy does well.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My GP does a mole check as part of my annual physical. We removed one a couple of years ago (benign).

Teppy, may your ego heal quickly along with the aches and pains. And yes, black eyes can follow a broken nose. When K-Bug was playing softball we saw a girl take a line drive to the nose. We saw her the next day and she had two black eyes with a very swollen nose. She wore them as a badge of honor.

Beverley, more quick healing ~ma to H.

I have started a pot if chili, small business shopped, cleaned the living room, and wrestled the tree in the house. Need to get that set and then haul in decoration boxes. Neither kid is around to help and I'm both happy and depressed by that fact.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So of course, the furniture that I was told was empty was only 75% empty. So I did some sorting and some crying, but at least I found my grandmother's diamond earrings. And a piece of rock my great-grandmother got from Lourdes?

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

Thinking good recovery thoughts for Steph and Bev's H.

Oh Jesse, you might be bumping into a few more treasures as you unpack. But it sounds like all in all it's going well.

Eek. Yes, good thing the stuff didn't get given away with diamond earrings inside or something!

Am in the airport. Do not really want to be on a plane for five-six hours. Also, am needing to pee all the time today, I think because I took Sudafed earlier, but that's awkward on a plane. Also when I am thirsty because the air is dry, so I drink lots of water. But on the good side, I made another batch of chex mix right before I left and have a bag of that. Yum yum yum.

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 did nothing the last two days except go to a diner for Thanksgiving dinner.

My dad fell and broke his hip last night. He's in surgery now getting a hip replacement. I drove up to Appleton to see hm after surgery, but it started four hours late so I'll be waiting for awhile.
