Sometimes the extra glass of wine helps. A lot.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

How much do I not want to spent a day that is looking to be gorgeous in the stinky mildewy courthouse? At least in my office, I can open the window.

not your mom's socks.
It's still broken and I'm in the broken loop.
Sarameg, I was in that exact same loop when we lived in Baltimore, and DH was in the other loop. It was crazymaking.
I'm sorry about the interview, ita.
So sorry for your neighborhood's loss, Lisah.
