Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Maybe he was on an iphone and it auto-corrected Whigs to Wings?

msbelle, forgot to tell you: I was mistaken and my parents did not have supplemental mental health insurance. My dad suggested contacting your local NAMI chapter for guidance (and maybe a support group?).

Lunch out on the first day back - good way to ease back into the work routine.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Don't forget McKean's law.

I am watching the oddest House Hunters International. I think they literally hired actors for this one! (Also, why is the American handyman show judged by Canadians?) I watch too much HGTV.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I do not spell well.

My grammer is iffy

my typing worse than both. I could make that kind of error quite easily , and never notice.

msbelle take it easy on yourself. A lot of homework is annoying and stupid -- but it has to be done. Honestly, the average 2nd grader is likely to do this . so try and forgive yourself and mac. Hoping things went smoother than expected

Hey, awesome, Kat!

The iPhone autocorrect feature has caused me to send some very strange texts, indeed.

Ugh. I have an unhappy GI tract and ended up coming home at 11 to work from the sofa. And within 10 steps of the bathroom. It's probably something I ate yesterday. I suspect the home made chicken noodle soup, which is extra sad as there's quarts of it left.

I hope things are calmer this afternoon, msbelle.

Hiya smonster and amyth! I love that you have a vicar, amyth. It makes me think of tea and watercress sandwiches and murder mysteries with surprisingly little violence (except for the one requisite murder).

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir, it just seemed a little harsh, I guess. He's not asking you to marry him or be his best friend. I'd hate for someone to write me off for something like that because of a typo I missed. Like Spidra, my hit to miss ration is less impressive as I age, and I'd hate to have it held against me.

Oh, I'm not even gonna mention it to him. And I don't really think bad of him because of that. I just don't understand it.

But 2 minutes of rage? Kindda had it.

Maybe he was on an iphone and it auto-corrected Whigs to Wings?

Maybe. I'm pretty much over it by now. I guess it's the lack of attention to something which you choose to pay attention to from the outset that's driving me insane (for a short while. I vented, and now everything's fine again).

Oy - feel better, Calli!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the record, Nantucket Nectars Orange Mango? Not enough mango to overload the incredible sweetness. Such a shame. Orange/mango shouldn't need that much added sugar. Of course, I also bought Mexican mango soda at BevMo. At least that I'm expecting to be a sugar bomb. But I can't not taste most everything with mango on the label. Just in case.

Day still moving slowly. But at least the boss showed up.

Thanks, Shir. If it's the mild food poisoning that I think it is, it should resolve itself in the next day or so.
