Steph, so sorry about your mom getting shafted like that! What assholes. I hope things work out well for her, whether with another job or retirement.

IOmeN, your mom is three years older than my sister, who is 60 years old today. My sister is 60. It's weirding me out.

wishing you the good meds quick, smonster.

Trudy, I almost bought that exact dress yesterday! Therefore, I commend you on your good taste. It would show too much leg for my comfort (those who saw me showing leg at the Atlanta F2F and looking comfortable? it was the drink) but it's cute as hell. It definitely needs flapper shoes - low-heeled Mary Janes.

billytea's making me laugh and worry.

Either way, Fay, I will be at the f2f, and I'll take your challenge & do shots with ya.

I'm in

Exactly what I was going to suggest, Zenkitty.

I keep trying to remember whether I learned "The Sun Whose Rays" from Mikado before or after Buffy: Gilbert rhymes it with "indulgent"

I'll hoist a virtual glass with y'all, but a. I won't be there.(Bummer...have I said that today? Because, really. and 2. I can't drink shots. Really.

The bus bathroom? Aims, I don't think you are going to like the bus bathroom.

In TMI zone, when I rode the bus from Pittsburgh to Richmond I smoked pot in the bus bathroom with a total stranger. Hey, he offered and he looked more like a stoner than an axe murderer. Also, 30 years ago.

{{Teppy's mom}} That totally sucks. I know the private schools around me have had huge problems with enrollment. Delusional if they think a shiny new marketer will solve the issues.

Trudes! I got the Facebook email and thought it was very odd for you to spell so horribly, but I clicked and got the big warning from my browser not to proceed. So I didn't. Then I laughed.

Teppy, that is such bullshit. I'm sorry your mom is getting shafted like that.

Need advice: banged up my the two smallest toes on my right foot. One is now swollen. I have no ice at the ready (I filled a tray and it's now in the freezer - but that takes a while) - what else can and should I be doing for my sad toesies?

Do you have any frozen veggies? Peas are best.

If peas aren't available (they are the best) at least run the toes under cold water. Also, ouch! I know that particular pain well.

Alright - cold water it is.

Very ouchy.
