I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The FB algorithm seems to be working for me. Or maybe it's because I stopped accepting friend requests from high school people I only kinda knew.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I need to do another cull I think.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I go to FB to see what my sister and niece are up to and to leave Happy Birthday messages now and then. While my sis and niece are conservative, they aren't prompting me to mutter "momma didn't raise us to be racists, damnit" conservatives, and most of what they're posting involves wrapping up the teaching year and hanging out on the BiL's boat. So instead of rage I just have to deal with a bit of envy.

Typo, I'm looking forward to your book!

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

Good luck, Sue!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Good luck, Sue!

I've culled almost all of the people on my FB feed who will post their own rage-inducing stupidity, but I also have a lot of very intelligent friends who don't mind debating with other (wrong-headed) people, so I still occasionally get some rage by-product. Eh.

It's pretty sad that my reaction to the Andy Benoit tweet story is "An apology that's actually an apology! Score"

Good luck, Sue!

At the moment, I go straight for the group my dog's litter has, because we are planning their birthday party, and skip the rest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We don't have anyone in Minneapolis, do we? I guess I'm going for work in a couple of weeks.

That sounds sensible, Sparky.

Pixie just stood in the living room yowling until I came to ask her what was wrong and then trotted down the hall to the bedroom and pointedly told me to go back to sleep. Don't tempt me, cat!

And, ha, I completely forgot to add the green onions to my shrimp. So much for buying something I needed at the farmers' market.
