You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just had a driver tell me he did not know the order of the months. THEY CELEBRATE WILLFUL IGNORANCE. WHY MUST I WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE!?!?

I really think I need to work at a lefty non-profit after this place. Planned Parenthood of Texas is sounding good.

'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"

Jesse got the right forecast. Rain of toads, indeed.

Dr. Google tells me that you can have "silent" gallbladder attacks. I suppose I'm going to have to call my doctor, but not until Monday.

I have Tylenol-3 left over from my toe, so I'm not too worried about a sudden increase in pain and consequential unplanned ER visit. After all, I can just give up eating until I see someone, right? (::crickets::)

Wait. What? How? Ok, don't answer. I'm just outraged and confused on your behalf. That driver needs to turn in his adult card.

Meanwhile, I need a cattle prod or taser or something for my son. Dude, we are moving tomorrow, we still have lots of crap that isn't in boxes or in the "put it in a car" pile. Get a move on.

How does he not know the order of the months? Like, is this a language barrier, or a learning disability?

Maybe he has to sing it softly to himself, like some people do with the alphabet?

How does he not know the order of the months?

Irrelevant to his life? "It's morning, I go drive the car. I know where all the streets and landmarks are. I drive all day, I go home, watch TV, sleep, get up and do it again. Every five days, if I'm lucky, I get a day off. In the summer, when the red white and blue decorations come out, it's time for the Fourth of July."

Strictly speaking, whether May comes before June or vice versa doesn't make a lot of impact on that kind of world.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband is visiting his family until Tuesday, so I'm kind of tempted to jaunt down to New Orleans.

Unless shrift wants to take a last-minute trip to Texas.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I mean you don't use 3/14 format.

For one day, I would use it for pie.

But there's no songggg!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's very open-minded of you, bt. Pie breaks down barriers, I guess.

W-E-E-K-E-N-D! I'm going for a run in a few minutes, then it's dinner and maybe karaoke and/or dancing with work people since today was K's last day and we will miss her. Tomorrow I am hoping for a whole lot of sleeping and a great deal of TV watching and oh crap I just realized I left my Supply Chain Mgmt stuff on my desk, oh well. Sunday should probably be a bunch of cooking and cleaning.
