So driving to the store, I thought I was having an intense digestive incident.

Turns out, my phone was in my pocket against my lower belly, buzzing with multiple texts from the Y alerting me to cancellations because the main gym suffered some sort of building damage.

1. That was really weird. 2. Jeez, now really curious what happened to the gym. I guess I'll find out later.

Ooooh, a neighbor posted a car crashed into it! He was under the window when it happened (gym below street level, windows are at the top.) Front tire is resting on the inside sill.Yikes!

Please forgive me for being amused. "Is it gas or is it a phone call?"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

"Is it gas or is it a phone call?"

WAY better than "Is it gas or a heart attack?"

Also, Happy Birthday, Connie! I'm so jealous of your Vegas trip! When do you leave?

When do you leave?

Tuesday. Back Friday. Mid-week is cheaper and less crowded, especially just after a partying holiday.

edit: Plus I have my tax refund back, for added Vegas fun.

Always Anti-fascist!

People have been saying the "bad winner=revolution" thing for ages, so I think it's BS.(Also, yes, the thought is frightening, but to me it seems like a thing certain men like to talk ex cloaca about.) Fully intend to support nominee after a vigorous contest. Nobody asked you, Bloomberg.(Yes, I prefer him to what passes for "mainstream GOP" but that's not really a compliment, and somebody thinks a lot of himself)

I'm amazed, I got my refunds back within less than a week. I love the internet. Except I turned right around and paid my property taxes, and after doing the math I realized that I'm still a bit short of cash. It's going to take me a while to build up my reserves again: turns out that getting a dog, taking dog classes, and hiring a dog walker are really putting a dent in my ready cash. Sigh.

Inertia and "Well, I'm doing OK, so I don't want to rock the boat" are powerful things. People need to listen to "Don't Get Fooled Again." And just because there's a revolution doesn't meet the correct people will win.

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

Does anyone or anyone know some one who collects dolls? I have some Madame Alexander and Effanbee dolls most with original boxes that I am getting rid of. I can send pictures. They are all from the 70s - 90s I think.
