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

Oh, no, Jilli! That's rough.

I did buy an apple and a jar of peanut butter but I think I will save them for tomorrow. Slicing up an apple is more work than I want to do right now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I saw a bunch of posts and feared a kerfuffle but it's cars and food. Whew.

Jilli, much ~ma and unicorns for your goddaughter. That's a bad bone to break. As if there's a good one.

I have had vrry good luck with cars so I am an outlier and my experience should not be counted.

The Intractable Headache continues, Day 3.

Our wings are not tired.

Quick healing wishes for your goddaughter, Jilli.

I hope the Headache felt 3 days was enough and is gone elsewhere this morning. Perhaps DC.

I had a huge Granny Smith apple, so I sliced it and shared it with DH, with peanut butter of course. I didn't bother to tell him the reason and he did not raise any questions. eta: last night, but after my self imposed computer cut off time

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Speedy healing~ma for your goddaughter, Jilli.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Zen, is it a migraine? If it doesn't go away, you might want to go to a doctor to get something to break it. A shot of Toradol used to work for me sometimes, but the past two times I've needed a steroid pack.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today feels like a "run away and join the circus" day. I'm having a real hard time getting started.

Though at least we get to go see Wait Wait Don't Tell Me tonight.

I wasn't able to sleep last night. It's going to be a rough day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that's fun, Dana!

I'm trying to decide how best to subtly have someone to walk to my out-of-the-office meeting with, because I still feel awkward walking into place alone.

Oh! Enjoy Wait Wait! One of my favorites.

I got an Ancestry DNA kit and am sending it off today. We know just where Mom came from, but have no clue on Dad. DH has a completely different mix from me, and son's GF has an entirely different mix! So my potential grandchild would be Irish, German, English, Russian, French, Cuban, and Scottish! (and likely a few other varieties)

Thinking about cars from yesterday. There are some cars I don't understand.

The Acura ILX. I've been in one and it really feels like a Honda Civic that just costs a whole lot more.

The entire GMC brand. Why is there a whole brand for trucks and SUVs that look almost exactly like their Chevy counterparts.

The Fiat 500L. Isn't it basically just a less good looking Fiat 500X?

Why does Jeep have the Compass, Patriot, and Renegade SUVs? How many small SUVs does Jeep need to make?

Is Ford ever going to make a new Taurus? It started with an old Volvo platform and hasn't significantly changed in like forever.

How does Mitsubishi's auto division stay in business in the USA? They have a very small stable of uninteresting and old cars.

How does Smart stay in business selling one model that doesn't have rear seat? I don't understand how the Smartcar sells either. Wouldn't something like a Chevy Spark or Toyota Yaris be better in almost every possible way?

Why does Toyota sell a Mazda 2 as a Yaris sedan?

Why does Mini have both the Countryman and the Clubman?

Does Ford have any idea what they are doing with the Lincoln brand?
