At the very least I have a reason to saunter (stagger) around work with my cool cobalt-glass-ball-and-snakes-and-skull-headed cane. Hubby keeps promising to take two inches off the end so it's the proper length, but oh well.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Canes can also be used for a judicious thwapping, when necessary. Being too long is a problem for walking, but it does give you a little extra reach.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The new nephew has been named Zachary. I can't wait to meet him.
I like this name. It has a certain breeziness to it.

Trust my rage
If we have another boy, Joe likes the name Zachary.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Cute story. When the almost 3 year old big sister M was introduced to her baby brother last night she was also given a Dora the Explorer backpack. Afterwards Grandma said, ''The little brother is cooler than the backpack.'' And M responded, ''I don't think so.''

Our wings are not tired.
Aww, M will likely come around. Although Brendon still finds his little brother annoying.

I think it is going to be a while before M comes around. Her mom is coming home early from the hospital because M is freaked not to have mom home.

That was the hardest thing for me when Frisco was born. Ellie liked him for the first 24 hours but then she was ready to return him and have mom's attention again. Thankfully, Joe and my mom did a great job of keeping her occupied.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry for your loss, GC.
And Sparky, I didn't quite put it together before that Kalliope was born on May 18th. That was my mother's birthday. It's a good day to be born.

Laura, I think it does have brownish tile on the floor. There's beige in places and white in places on the walls. Since paint will be the easiest quick fix I should think about brown.
It looks like you have the tile I have in my bathroom. I tried brown. Brown is dreadful, because there are no brown towels that are really a shade of that pinkish beige. After numerous tries, I found that teals and dark blues work. I suspect purple could work, but there was no purple when I was doing my original choices. Anything in the browns or reds clash in some inexplicable but awful way. I finally ended up buying four or five washcloths to try against it.
Did anyone else sniffle a little at vw's honors ceremony?
I'm sorry, GC. This dying young thing has got to stop.
I have considerable empathy for Connie. I now have heavy-duty antibiotics and blessed codeine. I've often wished that they could put you in a medically induced coma until the flu or a cold went away. Usually I can't really sleep and I can't really think, so I just wander aimlessly around my house, trailing Kleenex.
