Also (though I haven't looked for photos of him from his porn days, so I could be wrong here), I assume he engaged in some competitive tanning while he was doing porn, and years of tanning will age a person prematurely.
Yeah, I was unaware of the meth use, but I recall a lot of poolside photography that probably required hours filming in the sun as well as the general tan maintenance beforehand.

Pretty, Steph! I like the wee snail.
That's for Tim's mom. She loved the outdoors -- worked for the Park District, took the family camping every weekend basically from May through early October, built a house in the woods. And inside their house, she collected little critters -- little plastic animals (bugs, lizards, frogs, etc.) that she perched in plant pots, on picture frames -- everywhere. She was all about the critters.
So I thought a good way to honor her memory and have her at the wedding in spirit was to incorporate a critter into my bouquet and Tim's boutonniere. The snail happened to work perfectly because it's actually on a stick, so I could just wrap it in with the flower stems.
Tim hasn't picked out his critter yet, though he's leaning toward a blue tree frog.

Excellent job, Steph.
There's not enough coffee in the world to deal with the contents of my inbox this morning. Uhg.
And I've got at least 3 phone calls to make, and you know how I love that.

Very cool, Tep.
I would really like to go back to bed now. But I will not. Because I am a professional, dammit.

Really pretty, Tep! Although as soon as I saw it I realized I was subconsciously expecting something blue.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My sister had a talisiamen for Dad in her bouquet, I think a small photo. And I didn't know beforehand but Dad had a 'reserved' seat for the ceremony with a framed photograph of him and a little bouquet. It was really emotionally touching to me. He was there as much as life allowed.

Can anyone help with Excel? I was typing the name of the news site I was posting to into a cell yesterday, and I must have hit something because now it shows whatever I'm typing up in the top left of the document (next to something that says "fx") and no matter what I do, it won't put the text in the correct cell.
I'm a total novice with Excel, if that wasn't clear.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Try hitting shift F3.
ETA: fx is "insert function" and shift F3 is how you turn that on, so if that's what you hit maybe it will turn it back off.
