Life with R., Vol 24:
Me: I really hate it when you leave lots of silverware in the sink.
R: Oh, did I leave some out? It's all in a glass.
Me: IN THE SINK.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I drove by my grandparents house in Chicago during the first F2F.
What's been weird for me lately is that my old landlady and I have reconnected in the last couple of years, so I've been visiting her house (the one in the middle of the big turf field) now and then. Except now she lives in my old apartment. It's very weird being in the space that I lived in for 14 years that's now much more tastefully decorated.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I drove by the house I grew up in back in 2012, when I was vacationing in northern Michigan. They'd painted it a much nicer color, but they'd also gotten rid of Mom's amazing (but high maintenance) gardens. A few years later the house went up on Zillow and I got to see some internal changes. They'd done a nice job, but it was still weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
R: Oh, did I leave some out? It's all in a glass.
I am R and that is why I live alone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would be fine with the silverware in the glass as it was on the counter and not in the sink, personally.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
See, I would like stuff in the sink, and not, say, left on the stove that is just a couple of feet away from the sink TIM YOU HAVE ARMS I KNOW IT SO YOU CAN USE THOSE ARMS TO PUT THE DAMN PLATE IN THE SINK.
Ahem. We've lived together for over 10 years, and apparently that battle will never end.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac is about to learn the lesson that one of my roommates did. If you refuse to do your dishes and they pile up too much, you will find those dirty dishes in the middle of your bed one day.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh. The street view of the house I grew up in is from just last month. I always hear about how bad the neighborhood has gotten, but it doesn't look bad at all.
I cleaned out an email box today and discovered that my child has been accepted to kindergarten at the Growing Up Green charter school. E-mail doppelganger strikes again.

Ohhh, I did that once. Greasy skillet in his bed. And he had a dog, a very sweet, food oriented dog.
He had to buy new sheets. Several times in 3 mo. because he did not learn.

Herding cats for fun
The house in San Francisco where I first lived with DH 28 years (egads, SO old!) I remember very fondly and so does a previous tenant who visited the house one day. DH saw a sad looking fellow sitting in his car and asked what was up. The guy said it had been his home, and it wasn't big enough when they had to take on some aging parents. He just wanted to enjoy some memories.
I also visited my old house when I was driving my neighbor to SF Kaiser for her treatment. Her last day happened to be an anniversary when I moved in, so I also parked my car and gazed at my old house. It was neatly kept so I think the new occupants love that little house too.
