Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Nice work, Rebecca

This front needs to move through already; I get a head rush every time I get up.

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

Way to go, msbelle!

That is my ind of gardening, dcp. It doesn't typically work out that well for me, though.

The status is NOT quo.

Vortex, if you want to soak in a hot tub, I'm currently visiting my mom about 40 minutes from you...no pool, alas.

I didn't make a big announcement in Beep Me because I'm friends with most of you in FB, but my grandmother Frances passed away last weekend. She was two weeks shy of 103. She lived a very long, rich life — so yes, we are grieving, but mostly celebrating her life. I've been posting a picture a day over on my FB from my collection of photos gathered for her 100th birthday (literally from a picture of her as a baby in 1913 to pictures from this year) and will do so for a month.

I'm just home briefly to spend a little time with my mom. She's doing pretty well but feeling a bit lost after she's been caring for her mother all these years. I was lucky that I could get a few days away from school during this exam week.

I went to a lake today, but would've much rather been at a pool--I waded in the lake but it was too cold to swim in. Sadly I don't think I have any friends with pools here.

Pix, that's good you at least got to go home for a few days, for that. :(

My condolences Pix. That's rough, even if not unexpected.

I'm sorry, Pix.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Pix, I'm sorry for your loss and I'm glad you are able to spend some time with your mom.

Some calming~ma would be appreciated. I meet with my boss at 1pm this afternoon for the big career discussion. Mid-year raise, discussion of career planning, and talking about going back to school and how to get tuition reimbursement. I feel like I have the information to back my requests, but it is still making my tummy tied up in knots. Wish I had brought my anti-anxiety meds with me.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All condolences, Pix and family.
