I guess? I'd say at least mid-50s? She has grown kids.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Oh I didn't realize she wrote that so young, I was envisioning someone much older. Like your grandma writing fanfic.
"Honestly, if you see her with a caffeinated beverage, knock it out of her hand, onto the ground. Tell her, 'This is why you're going to die alone, with your cats, and get your face eaten off.'""Yes, you're right, I will."
Wait, CAFFEINE is why I'm going to die alone with cats?? How did I miss this memo? And does it still apply in Seattle, or just among Mormons?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a slippery slope, meara. First it's a Coke, then who knows what. (No, seriously, who knows what?)

My old boss at Houghton Mifflin, who was a Starbucks fiend and the kind of smoker who stands outside the building in subzero temperatures, was aghast that I actually took a quarter or half of a No-Doz pill in the morning after I got to work.

I have a couple of mormon students who regularly talk about the terrible awfulness of coffee beverages. Ironically, they try to harass the teacher who is also an evangelical Christian. They all argue amongst themselves and, from the outside, it looks like the engagement of irrational religion-based rules.

Reminds me of the time I saw the two Mormon "elders" talking with one of the Jehovah's Witness people ....

Finally out of the office during work day. Sent to get a tire fixed in the bosses giant truck. But at least out for a bit.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are kind of like the other team in a sports rivalry. Young Mormons dream of besting them in religious debate.
ION, I dreamed last night I was at a conference of some sort, talking to President Obama. I'm staring at a clipboard, and I say to him, "So who important is coming to this thing?" He's silent, I look up, and he's giving me A Look. I laugh and say, "I'm sorry, sir, who important other than you is going to be here?" Then the First Lady comes over, grabs my arm, and drags me over to some people in a hallway. "Help them with their investigation," she tells me, and leaves.
I don't normally dream of the Obamas. Odd.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, did you help them with their investigation?
I had my first lucid dream last night and was able to deliberately fly briefly. It was pretty fun.
