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

I have a couple of white mats similar to this [link]

reversible, no rubber backing. The people I nannied for a million years ago in NY had ones like this and I liked them so much more than the polyester rubber backed things I grew up with. They are old and stained and I just keep using them. They are GREAT for soaking up water spills also.

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

Hang in there, Dana.

Happy anniversary, Sheryl!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We have what msbelle has.

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

I think you get a mulligan on your anniversary, if you want.

I'm being a bad neighbor because it's National Night Out and I'm huddled over my laptop. I did walk through the gathering and let the kids all pet my dog, though, which counts for something.

I also ate too much pasta and want to go to sleeeeep.

I didn't even check if my hood had a national night out going on (the street behind me has a few times) but went to a friend's for dinner and didn't see one on her block.

Oh, shoot, I meant to at least think about going to my town's. Oh well, maybe next year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess we didn't have that here? At least, I didn't hear anything.
