I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So Rush Limbaugh has advanced lung cancer.

Considering how shitty the world turned when I felt gloaty about Scalia's death, I'll hold my tongue.

I will however note that certain people commit so much harm in the world that the world is better for their absence and leave it at that.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It wasn't you, David, it was turning on the Large Hadron Collider that shifted over into this alternate universe.

Theo if we turn if off and turn it back on again will we leave this Hell-verse?

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

I just walked one square block from my house and hit the drug store, liquor store, and grocery and got everything I had on my lists. Guess what y'all? MY NEIGHBORHOOD LOVES CARROTS!!

Also there is a 5BR/2Bath for sale a block from me that has been redone inside and is like a blank slate. I AM JUST SAYING! $250K

Uh, that sounds pretty freaking awesome, msbelle! Wanna link to the house so I can drool over it with no intention of buying it? I feel like the thing that matters most to me right now is having people around me--I'm sad none of my local friends live right nearby me anymore, but I'm so glad I have them. And glad you've got sarameg and Lisah and others now!

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

Ooh, nice porch.

I could probably swing 1 br in one of those. Well, not right now, but maybe in a year or two...

The neighborhood is really perfect for msbelle. I think you kinda found your unicorn in a single fam yard neighborhood with all that so close.

What is even happening?

It wasn't you, David, it was turning on the Large Hadron Collider that shifted over into this alternate universe.

A mouse got into it. (Seriously, I'm pretty sure that was a thing.)

got to see Lisa and Bob today. Met new people through them and volunteered with the Ride for the Feast they do each year.

Nothing makes me happier than hearing about buffistas spending time together.

It's that happiness plus a skosh of envy, but not the mean kind, just the benignly covetous kind.

I had a bunch of people over for the super bowl, it was good times. We were rooting "gold pants" vs "red shirts". Though given our demographic we were pretty pro the 49ers because they had the lesbian coach (who one of my friends at the party used to play football with!)

Dear Everyone Who's As Tired As I Am:

meara wrote C-O-A-C-H, like Eric Taylor, not C-O-U-C-H like sofa. Go have another cup of coffee.
