For a while there, it was one of the few things you could count on not changing just because you moved, and they looked invincible (irritatingly so). Until they became synonymous with modem access and therefore your grandma.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

yeah, when I was looking for a new job, the search co. advised me to get a new email address because the AOL made me look out of touch.
...do you still use it, though? I have a gmail address (with my real name) that I use for job stuff, but in reality I use my yahoo mail for everything. I'd be embarrassed, but honestly...I don't care.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I get mail for other people at my yahoo account sometimes. It hasn't happened yet with gmail. I didn't know all that stuff about gmail.

My mom still uses aol. That is not meant to soften the idea that it makes one look out of touch.
I sliced my hand yesterday on a knife that slid out of the drying rack. I was not happy and very blamey about it. But it scared the kids. Now I'm worried it will sting when I get in the pool this morning.
I also went to yoga for the first time in almost a year. SHIT that hurt.

Our wings are not tired.
So if you give out am.y personally and a.my professionally, you can tell when someone's blurring the lines. Or, more complex, any facebook password resets that don't come to amy+facebook@gmail.com? Automatically spam attempts, plz ignore.
I did not know this at all. Useful really.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a gmail and still don't use it and still don't care! Maybe next time I send out a resume I'll put the gmail on it. I'm pretty sure yahoo is not holding me back.

Ouch! For both the yoga and the knife, but with a side of yay for the yoga.

Yikes, Kat!

Superglue and ductape? (Believe me, I've considered that when I've had a nasty scrape. )
My paranoia that I did something to break the build yesterday has been dismissed. It wasn't me! Whew.

There was lots of blood and I changed the bandage a couple of times prompting Noah to ask what I would do if I went through all of the bandaids.
I am really grateful that it did not slice my foot too, as the knife bounced off the floor and I was barefoot in the kitchen. And thankfully alone.
Ok. gotta get my shit together and go to the pool. I am wearing this shirt today: [link]
