Here's to a good offer for you guys, flea!
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

I read the whole wikipedia entry which I assume is generally about right though there might be missing details. She was in a few bad accidents before the plane crash! Man. She had really bad luck.
I didn't know she was such good friends with Loretta Lynn either.

Because books.

That was a plot point in Coal Miner's Daughter, which I love to this day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, flea! Sell like the wind!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, apparently that part of the movie was not accurate to real life, but is emotionally true.
I was traumatized by CMD. I need to watch it again, I will probably have a different reaction to seeing it now that I am a proper adult. I just couldn't get over her husband raping her the first night they were married and I couldn't really enjoy the rest of the movie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
le n, that was my *exact* reaction to the movie, which I saw for the first time at an age not far removed from Lynn's own on her wedding night; my kidself absolutely could not begin to get past that, and I really have no idea what I'd think of it if I saw it again now, after a significant accumulation of years.
HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE. SELL, HOUSE, SELL!

I think even my cats are bored with me at this point. After a day spent largely petting Pumpkin or getting sat on by Loki ( or both!) they are all off in their own corners. Except Devi, who is falling asleep in front of me. And she slept all day!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
JZ,
OMG thank you for sharing that. I don't remember how old I was, but I think I was in high school or junior high. It was on tv and we hadn't rented it, so it must have been the mid-1980s or so. So I must have been ~ 15 myself. I think the movie on TV must have been edited because right after that scene, she was pregnant or holding a baby in her arms and I'm like: "uh, how is her relationship with her husband? did she try to run away from him? ??? ???"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am having seven million anxieties right now. Apparently we were supposed to have scheduled talks with our manager about raises and bonuses? And I have none on my calendar and the other analyst does?
Between that and feeling sick I'm making mountains out of molehills.
