Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My downstairs neighbor just called me in. She s hearing a cat meowing in her wall. I locate my cat-- who is not in a wall, or near her wall. I hear the cat n the wall. I go outside and look for a cat. Her grandson goes to the basement to look for a cat. I go upstairs and make my cat meow to see if it was the same sound. It is not.

If she hears it again she is gong to call 311, but gosh I hope kitty gets out on its own, because I am not up for this.

how is it still only Wednesday

I know! Feels like Thursday. Possibly because so many Thursdays are actually Friday to me. But not this Thursday, boo.

My bathroom sink is backed up: I may have to take the trap apart to clear it. Argh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can report that walking to Costco is the most ridiculous thing ever. You can only buy like three items, and everyone thinks you're a crackpot.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Maybe I need to buy a Granny cart! They sell them at Costco!

Oh yeah, that would be perfect! For whatever reason, I never had one in NYC.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Walking to CostCo would take away 37% of my frustration going there. Sadly, only some of that is their parking lot. Most of it is that it requires me to go through the Four Way Stop of UR DOING IT WRONG*ness. Worse, I have to turn left there.

* I want to stand there some day and handy out pamphlets. With diagrams. And frowny faces. The actual law too. Possibly with an essay on why trying to be nice instead of being legal is really dangerous. Why won't they do it right?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Lee, that's genius!

Forget about only Wednesday, how can it be that I've only been home 5 minutes, and my kids are already getting on my nerves?

Because books.

I don't really need a granny cart, because as soon as S. is home from work, we can do a big shopping, and most of the time my dad is around anyway. But I do see a lot of people using them.

The classic American small town with a main street filled with houses within walking or biking distance of stores is also outlawed.

What do you mean, outlawed? There are a million small towns like this on the East Coast, at least up here in the Northeast.

Ky kids usually start bickering in the car on the way home from after school.

Tonight we are doing All The Homework. So much homework.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Amy, I think he means that trying to turn suburbs into something more like towns is pretty much impossible due to zoning. I think.

Forget about only Wednesday, how can it be that I've only been home 5 minutes, and my kids are already getting on my nerves?

How is it that it's only 6:40 pm and I want to go to bed?
