Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

That is worrisome. Recovery~ma to your cousin, meara.

Speaking of slutty veg (because why wouldn’t we), I understand the cucurbits (squash family) will cross pollinate like whoa. Which is probably ok when your butternuts mix with your acorn squash, but when they get it on with melons, things can get weird.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is there any connection between turnips and catnip?

Follow the money.

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

Follow the money.

Hah! Good one! 😀

Yikes, recovery~ma for your cousin, meara. Scary stuff.

I tested negative this morning! I might have pneumonia or just chest soreness from the abuse of the last few days. But, I may have dreamed some of the symptoms. I'm going to see how the day goes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Glad you tested negative, Laura! And I hope it's just chest soreness and not pneumonia.

It's football season and already the Bengals are breaking my heart. (My brother's comment was "Losing to the Patriots is like losing to a volleyball team." Ha!)

Thrive to spite them

M messaged me today that he was going to a funeral and I was confused. The manager for the sushi restaurant we go to all the time (that is literally across the street) passed away. I hadn't realized, I mean I knew I hadn't seen him and that there was a special sushi roll called RIP Mikey but I was really tried that day and didn't ask.

But a neighbor saw the obituary in the paper and told M's mom and they went. He was the same age as M and even though I never spoke to him outside the restaurant knowing I'd see him was one of the highlights of going. He always had a smile and always spoke to us for a few minutes and just he had a way of lighting up the place.

I hope you feel better Laura.

We made it to the VA hospital and they can't find M's info. I had to go to the restroom so when I left him they were trying to bring up any of his info.

If we made this trip for nothing....I'm going to be so frustrated

I hope they found the info and were helpful, askye.

Sorry about the double post.

After much calling around and thinking be had to be in Columbia it turns out he had to be in Anderson. Which is also about an hour from our house. I thought M had taken his anxiety meds this morning but he didn't . And now he is super anxious and it's in the car

However since we are right here we went to the ER ...(The person in podiatry suggested it) So be can get it looked at here and see what , if anything has to be done .
