Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Health~ma to Laura!

I'm still a little wobbly, but I felt good enough to go to the office today. And I ate a big lunch! I value being upright and able to consume food.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm glad you are feeling better, shrift.

Shir, have I mentioned lately that I love seeing you here?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay for uprightness and food consumption!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Get well soon wishes to Laura!

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

So my day began with a bomb threat. No seriously. LAUSD closed today after a bomb threat was called into a board member.

Yikes! Stay safe, LA!

Yeah, I feel bad that my first reaction isn't fear, it's crud! Now I'm stuck with the kids.

I'm a bad mom

No, that's natural.

We were in the car on our way to school when someone texted Katie.

I know it's awful to say, but I'm having a distinct snow day vibe. I'm sure it was credible and they took it seriously, but it still feels like an extra day off.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The forecast said 1-2 inches of snow overnight. The forecast lied - we are more like 6-8 inches so far and it is still falling. SO glad I work from home. K-Bug normally goes to work around noon on Tuesdays and she is hoping they close the office. The roads are CRAZY. I don't know if the snowplows weren't ready or what.

Bomb scare is nuts. Have they found anything?

Welcome Otto.
