Qualified yay, GInger.
Adorbs, Maria!
Argh. Scrap items are from hell.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

No one else knows what's up with the guy leaving, btw. We are intensely curious.

Wreath/craft question: those of you who have hung grapevine wreaths on your doors(that are actively used) do you find that they scratch the door, or is it a nonissue? If they do scratch, how do you prevent that (your answer cannot include "don't hang a grapevine wreath").

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
My hemoglobin is up, my platelets are very low and the truck passed the emissions test. I'm calling 2 out of 3 a win.
2/3 of a yay, Ginger!
Burrell, did you eat yet?

I hate that. Ostensibly they do it to avoid speculation and gossip, but in my experience it just blows it out of proportion.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Today is my dad's 77th birthday, so the kids and I called him around midday to give him good tidings. When he answered the phone he sounded groggy, which is odd cause he has never been one to sleep in or nap. We sang and gave him our good wishes. He thanked us and said his birthday was yesterday. Now I really thought one of us was loosing it. I KNOW today is Oct 28th. Then he casually mentions that they have been in New Zeeland the last two weeks and it is 6 in the morning there. Tomorrow.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What Dana said. You definitely should not feel bad for calling at 6 am, because how were you supposed to KNOW?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, that is incredible all the way around!

They will be headed to Australia and then Japan before returning home in a couple of weeks.
Not that I want a full itinerary, but let me know when you are leaving the country dad. Gives me a flashback to 9/11 and calling him to find out WHERE he was (LA, rented a car and drove a bunch of people back to SF).

Oh, dad of SuziQ. Happy birthday and all, but come on, you can't send "having a great time in New Zealand" texts or whatever?
I hate that. Ostensibly they do it to avoid speculation and gossip, but in my experience it just blows it out of proportion.
Usually the official notification is totally vague but there's word of mouth scuttlebutt, someone will have the inside scoop. This time no one seems to know anything.
