I was off work today, and I don't go back until the 3rd. It's very nice.
Msbelle, I'm glad Mac has someone who gets what grief can be like.
Gracey sounds like an awesome cat.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Someone tried to set the base of a "Keep Saturn in Saturnalia" sign on fire. It didn't work. Possibly because the base was made of metal. [link]

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My older brother got busted for a DUI while driving as part of his job. So he's fired, going to court, maybe to jail, no longer engaged, kicked out of his house, now living with our parents, which means he'll be around ALL the time when I visit. I think my visit is going to be very short. God. Fuck. Not just drinking on the job, not just drinking while driving, but apparently heavily intoxicated. Fuckfuckfuck you dumb fuck.

Sheryl, I hear ya on lack of parental wifi. It's why I stay with my sister...thoug now in the era of smartphones it's a little better.
Assuming we can ever get OFF this plane, I should make my connection ok even though we are an hour late. I forgot how many small children are traveling at the holidays. I like them one but dislike that they get to board ahead of everyone (even if I understand why) because there's so many of them now!!!

'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"
Ack, Juliebird. No, you're completely justified in making it a short visit, particularly if your parents are enabling.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'll be pretty much dark, net-wise the whole time as my folks do not have wi-fi. Ah, well, there's books on my iPad
Download an extra book! Just to be sure!
One of my holiday destinations lacks internet and I always feel like I have to really plan ahead. Though smart phones mean that email and such is always still right there.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
So who just found $1400 of charges to a Public Storage in Atlanta on her credit card?
Ginger, did you steal my credit card and set up a secret lair?

Dana, have you been shopping at Target in the last couple of months? They just announced they'd lost data for 40 MILLION credit/debit cards.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
No, I hadn't used that card, and we actually asked the rep about it, but she said of all the people that had called in that day, they hadn't found any fraud related to Target.
I still blame Ginger.
