Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

I would say some people are like that, but a lot of us do it because we are restless. "I wear the cheese--it does not wear me."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you all. I now have to somehow write an obit that captures my mother’s irreverent sense of humor (which is also mine). I got the right picture of her holding a giant zucchini! Right now it is bare bones because my uncle and I were asked what she liked to do and we were like “complain?” But she was even funny about that, I found a Whine Journal. after talking to her friends and Maria I have a little bit more to go on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh Sophia, I'm so sorry.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sophia, I'm so sorry.

The status is NOT quo.

I am almost never around lately, but I love catching up when I can. This school year has been challenging, and we are officially in what we call the "hundred days of May." I will cross this finish line, but it ain't pretty.

Sophia, sending you so much love. I LOVE that you are adding humor to her obituary. It sounds perfect. Writing my dad's obituary (which I did mostly sitting by him in the hospital hospice room; he had long since lost consciousness) was oddly therapeutic for me. I hope it brought you solace, also.

Tep, yikes! I'm glad he's going to be okay, but that's a lot. Hang in there.

Hugs, Karl. I hope things stay better.

YAY, Calli!

It was a Miyazaki day here, I wish my friends could share the stress-cleansing breezes, blue sky, and sunshine.
I love this, Beverly.

Our wings are not tired.

Today we celebrate and send the happiest birthday wishes to Karl! I hope you are being spoiled today and that this year brings all you hope for and more.

For the record, today's Connections was just plain stupid and I don't even care that it broke my streak. So there.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Karl! May your year ahead have much joy in it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For the record, today's Connections was just plain stupid

It was, in fact, very stupid.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Broke my Connections streak two days ago, but today's I got on the third try. How odd.
