at least one of my instructors thinks I'm bloody brilliant.
At least one of Shir's professors is not totally clueless. That's a good thing.
Job~ma for Raq.
The Animaniacs are definitely better for the brain than Elsie.
bonny, I'm glad the no gluten thing has helped so much. I hope this reaction tames down and goes away soon.
Hil, I know vicodin did not make the pain of my wisdom tooth extraction go away so much as make it a lot more fun. But when I took ibuprofen in combination with the vicodin, the cocktail really did eliminate the pain. So talking to your doctor about the level of relief you are getting may lead to a safe combination to make things even better.
Coming in late to wish Vortex a happy birthday.
And Sean, I'm sorry you're in a bad place right now. I go through that periodically - I recently turned 57 and the only serious relationship I've ever had ended badly. I'm not good at making friends and I've never been especially attractive to men, so I spend most of my time alone. I'm used to it and am fairly content with it most of the time, but sometimes it gets to me. My job's not going very well and it's frustrating ... and sometimes it's scary because if I lose this job I don't know if I'd be able to find another, considering my age and the economy.
So ... even though I'm down right now I'm going to keep plugging away and hope things improve - even if the circumstances don't improve, I can hope that my attitude does.
Belated Happy Birthday, Vortex!
Happy belated birthday, Vortex! Enjoy your "birthday week."
Congrats to Aims the grad! Woot!
I guess I just feel like I've gotten to a point in my life where most things I do feel a little hollow without somebody there to share it with.
I hear you, Seanie. At this point its just getting fucking old. They've been telling me since I was fifteen that I don't need a boyfriend to be happy and I should just be me... and I guess I believe that. But I'm tired of it.
Yeah, I'm 44 and have never had a serious relationship. Lately I've been sorta' flipping back and forth between feeling like it'd be OK if I stay single the rest of my life, and feeling like I'm really missing out by not being in a relationship.

Yeah, you're really missing out on the other person's random mood swings, bizarre demands, strange sleeping habits, strange eating habits, fights about money...and that's just in a healthy relationship.
Of course, you're also missing out on the potential for daily sex, but that might just be Vortex's parents.
I don't want to have daily sex with Vortex's parents. IJS.
It occurs to me that maybe part of the reason Vortex's Mom is being so difficult because she's NGA for the first time in however long.

I get a lot of that from the roommates and don't get to have sex with either one of them.
Hubby thanks all of you lonely Buffistas for the hugs he's been getting, and he wishes you all congenial companionship. It's not been the smoothest or most rewarding relationship, but I can't imagine my life without my Grateful Dead/Viking death metal-loving guy.
