Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Thanks for the continued birthday wishes, everyone!

Suela, your poor thumb!

Our wings are not tired.

Ouch! I hope it heals well and quickly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Suela! That sounds terrible.

Oh, geez. Hope it's quick to heal and feel better.

Doesn't hurt much if I don't try to use it. Had to put my bra on the old-lady way, though: with the clasp in front.

Can't see an orthopedist for a week, according to Kaiser. What's the point?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think of that as The Swim Team Injury Way.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm going to be taking a social media fast this week. If anyone needs me, I'll still be checking email, since so much business stuff goes through there now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was following the stories about the search for the people going to visit the Titanic wreck. All these billionaires seem to be trying to outdo each other in finding adventures to burn off some cash.

And my bureaucracy hassle is trying to get Social Security (retirement version). I've gone through the procedures, done the filings, had the phone interview ... and they sent me a letter that the check for my first payment was returned for not having a valid address. They keep sending me mail at the only address I have ... so why couldn't they send the check? and I gave them my bank info so they could do direct deposit ... sigh ....
