Anyway, in Oshkosh now.
B'Gosh!
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
New Privilege-Denying Dude looks almost EXACTLY like my guy friend from college, Damon. It's not him, but it's so funny!

Because books.
I think the Liquid Gold stuff I'm using to clean the dining room table and chairs is making me high. It also smells *delicious,* and somehow I don't think it's supposed to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's cool to see all these businesses I used to hear advertised all the time as a kid. I still remember the jingles. "Carpetland USA. Do-do-do do. Carpetland USA. Do-do-do."

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Hahaha! I have this image of you embracing your furniture and huffing, Amy.
I can imagine the original model being uncomfortable with that, stock photo or no. Particularly if people were threatening him. Still, you're right that when someone buys a stock photo, they're supposed to be free to use it.

Amy, do not drink it.
We have arrived in Annapolis, and have rendezvoused with Nutty and Nuttybro. Mother expected imminently. Greatest news so far is Nuttybro (who is also fleabro, natch) seems to have decided to dress like a hipster douchebag. He has aviator shades, cultured stubble, and a leather motorcycle jacket. Seriously, he looks like he wants to dress like Dov Charney. WTF?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ZOMG Erin!! Tons of job~ma!
lisah, it bears repeating: congrats!
I am thankful for my family, my friends, my cats, my house, my car, and my crazy yet profitable job. I'm thankful that I've been able to go off my antidepressant and remain undepressed, and thankful for both the good situation and the little super-vitamin med the doctor recommended that allowed me to do that. I'm thankful that the number on the scale has finally started creeping downward instead of up. I'm thankful to live in this beautiful, friendly little city. I'm thankful that I'm healthy. I'm thankful to be part of a community of smart, kind, funny people (that's you all).

Enjoy the freezing rain/snow combo we're supposed to get tonight, Tommy!

Actually, defamatory uses of people's images are usually not considered to be covered by licensing agreements or the fair use rights of photographers snapping candids in public. So if you want to use a picture of someone in a way that implies they're a racist douche, it's best to get specific permission to do so in writing from the actual person.

Oh! Gotta say this too: I'm also thankful we were able to sell the farmhouse with relatively little trouble and drama (I said *relatively*). I'm thankful for the money I was thus able to put towards my mortgage thus saving even more than that in interest thus bringing me closer to my goal of having my house paid for before I retire.
Thanks, mom, for being thrifty all your life, and leaving us not a fortune but enough to get us closer to our goals of financial freedom, and for teaching us how to take care of money, and why we should.
