I was all keyed up to get some work done, but my coworker blew me off.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Dana: I hate it when that happens. Congratulations on surviving the encounters with the movers, and may the rest of the day be better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My brain isn't typical, and while H knows it, he doesn't get it. So when I ask a question and he begins a lecture on the etymological history of a facet of what I just asked, I want to punch him. Just.Answer.My.Question.
No offense, but that sounds pretty typical to me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
In the context of everything else you have told us, Gud, this is part of a very disturbing pattern. You are way too hard on yourself and it sounds like you are not the only one. I hope y'all can straighten things out.

How's your daughter doing, Gud?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thinking about current events on the board, I just wanted to apologize for anything I've posted that might have made people uncomfortable. My social skills are not very strong.
Gud, you've never made me uncomfortable.
I also want to apologize for any posts that have made people uncomfortable or annoyed. My social skills aren't the greatest, but they've improved a lot in the last 15 years, largely due to hanging out here.
I have a feeling that in the last seven years (after the Great Bedbug Fiasco of Aught-nine) there've been times when I've been excessively whiny, selfish and self-centered here. I'm sorry for that. Trying to be a good person takes work.

I would argue that there have been times when you've had a lot of shit going on, and that is what we are here for!
Note that most of what anyone says is about themselves most of the time anyway.

Seconding this. The medium is heavy on self-expression.

Yup. Me too. :)

This this this.
I'm at the Melbourne airport with Lee. We're flying to Cairns this morning where we'll be see the Great Barrier Reef.
Yesterday we saw koalas, kangaroos, parrots, cockatoos, and a kookaburra in the wild. Several parrots sat on my head and made me their personal jungle gym.
