Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That seems fair, Rebecca.

Ginger, I hope it comes back!

IDK, potato and pepperoni salad sounds pretty good to me.

I accidentally put more mustard than I meant to in the salad, which actually makes pepperoni seem more appealing with it? So that's good.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

He really does not like my response to this stuff which is now. "I can deal with you mad at me, I can not deal with you dead. Sorry, that is what my fear is and you just have to deal with it."

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

I'm sorry you have to have that worry, msbelle, but I totally see why you do.

Happy birthday, Strix!

I tried making a plum pie this afternoon. The best I can say about it is that I know where I went wrong.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Strix!

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

So hard, msbelle.

I made a peach cobbler with too much biscuit, but it was still delicious!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh msbelle, I can so get that. Sorry mad mac, mom is right!

Happy birthday Strix! You share the day with one of my favoritest people on the planet, a no-longer-little girl who TURNED TWELVE today!

People really need to reconsider their email addresses when they start using them as identifiers in online communities. thunderbooboo@aol might want a different impression in the world.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy birthdays!

Mac, listen to your mom.

I had my hair colored by a professional today for the first time in over ten years, and I am in heaven. The back is all nice and even, and my forehead doesn't have any purple splotches on it, and I don't have to clean my bathroom!

(The last time I had my hair done professionally, it was such a disaster that I've never trusted anyone else since. But this place specializes in color and several of the stylists have blue or pink hair themselves, so I thought I would give it a shot. Totally worth it!)

I met a birthday twin today at the pool. "Girl, you just don't stop. But I got 50 laps in, not bad for an old guy, right?" That's awesome. You can't be much older than me, though. (I'd give him a decade on me.) " You're maybe 30, right? I'm 71. 1944, July 9." That's my birthday! 75, though, so thanks.... daaaaamn, you look good. I'm not gonna look that good at 71. My Mom doesn't look that good (sorry, mom) and turns 71 soon.

It disolved into silliness over whether my 'advanced age' meant it would be appropriate to flirt without him being a dirty old man, but me pointing out in 2 decades, I'll look older than him. He disagreed, but was all 'I'll go flirt with your mom.' Just, fun.

I'm glad to get back to my pool, but it's fun to meet new characters.
