I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Ugh, sorry about the lowball offer, Dana. And family aggravation, brenda.

Vending machine lunch was disappointing on several levels. I'm finding it hard to do things like type and think while I feel like I am swaying back and forth.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S has decided that throwing things in the cats' water dish is great fun. Today he threw one of the food dishes in there, and dunked his monkey backpack leash as well. To top it all off, he upended the water dish on the floor. sigh...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Now my husband has managed to set off my father-in-law in a rant against the "supposed" scientific consensus about climate change. Today is awesome.

Our wings are not tired.

Dontcha know that Mars is getting warmer too and they don't got no smokestacks!

Yeah, fun times with family.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Argh. Brought a product back to a store with a "lifetime guarantee", and they charged me $37 for the repair. I pointed out that it defeated the purpose of a lifetime guarantee if you have to pay for the repair. The girl said"we don't offer a life time guarantee anymore" I replied "you did when I bought the bag" and she didn't say anything. I was super annoyed because I know that she could have waived the charge. Or at least called a manager over.

That's some bullshit, Vortex.

After an early meeting, I was prepared to take a bit of a nap on the couch, except I couldn't get to sleep. No fair.

And you'll all be pleased to know that TLC seems to have changed their daily lineup, so no more episodes of Hoarders for me.

Instead, I'm watching Love It or List It, Too and gaping at this house which is 5200 square feet. Even with four bedrooms, where the hell do they use up all of that space? Is there an indoor tennis court?
