I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have a twitter question. On the twitter website itself, a person's background page behind the box with all the posts. Where is the setting, or how can you close the post box to read that background page? I know I am missing something really obvious.

On the main page, settings is at the upper right, and then from that page clicking "design" will give you the option of changing the background.

Here's a direct link that should work: [link]

The status is NOT quo.

Kristin, are things feeling better with your mom here?

So much better. She spent the morning at the hospital so I could go to work and has just in general been helping me out. When I came home last night, she had CLEANED OUT MY FRIDGE, like, literally cleaned all the shelves and gotten rid of everything old, and filled it with groceries. I almost burst into tears.

And Matt, that place sounds amazing. Remind me about it in a few months?

Perkins, yay vacation!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Will do, Pix. I will happily pimp our resort hotels if it gets buffistas within visiting distance of me! (The Palace Bath House in Eureka Springs is a somewhat lower-end version, and the haunted Crescent Hotel that I stayed at earlier this year is also a neat spa destination, but the Arlington is the gold standard of such places in my region of the South.)

That's where I was planning on going, before my business trip to Dallas was canceled. Darn snow!

Cool! Be sure to let me know if you do end up going there at some point. It's only a few hours from me, easily worth my making the drive on a weekend for rare facetime with another buffista.

The status is NOT quo.

Am finally leaving the hospital. Drew had a really rough afternoon and evening. He's still improving, but it's just an utterly miserable recovery. Tonight he couldn't fall asleep, and nothing seemed to help. I stayed until he finally collapsed from sheer exhaustion. We did discover that he is allergic to Benedryl, of all things. Irony.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Eureka Springs is a cute little spa town, and awfully fun on Pride weekends. Really pretty in the spring. I've stayed at the Crescent before, too. No ghosts, though. AFAIK.

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

Poor Drew. And poor you, Pix. I'm sorry things are so rough.

We did discover that he is allergic to Benedryl, of all things.

I had no idea this was possible.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Matt, I didn't know you were so close to HS. My in-laws are in the Village and Jon and I are up there at least once a year.

Just a warning if you're flipping around channels, MSNBC is replaying their 9/11 coverage.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I mean no disrespect, but today is one day that I am so glad we have no cable or local channels.
