Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yikes, Sophia! Glad you weren't in it! Hope everyone's okay now. Also, "take a note" is a good way to deal with the inevitability of mistakes.

Safe travels and fun trip, meara!

Connie, I'll add a couple more points of anecdata to yours: I definitely feel the difference in my joints and my skin when I stop taking my fave glucosamine formula, and my BFF swears she can tell a difference within a couple days if she stops. I haven't used Osteo-Biflex before but it looks like a similar formula to mine.

In work news, my new editor-in-chief is making me feel like I'm a terrible editor. I've never questioned my own ability like this before. I've been doing this journal since November and I still can't seem to get a handle on what he wants. And now I've made the mistake of asking my boss for advice. When will I learn not to involve her with anything ever?

Our wings are not tired.

So I had a stage manager, who everytime something bad happened would just say- "Take a note". We just took a note, and moved on. Then, when things weren't so immediate, she would have us look at it and see if there was something we could do in the future to prevent it. Sometimes there was, sometimes there wasn't.

I like that! The sniper news not so much.

Sounds encouraging to me, Dana. I wouldn't schedule a turn down call.

Quick good results ~ma, Susan.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Don't stress, don't stress, Dana!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Deep breaths, Dana and Susan!

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.

How unpleasant to not have a handle on what the guy wants, Zenkitty. Me, I suspect that you are actually doing the thing just fine but what the guy really wants is the power to make you feel that way.

In that case, until it's hanging off you in shreds, I think there's no such thing as beyond wearability.

And then you take the shreds and braid 'em up into the accessory of your choosing - headband, bracelet, necklace, whatever - and go right on wearing it.

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

Of course it does. Wouldn't want me having daylight on the way to work for more than a few days.

Me, I suspect that you are actually doing the thing just fine but what the guy really wants is the power to make you feel that way.

I don't think it's personal, but he's an intense control freak and I suspect he'll find something wrong no matter what I do. What I'm focusing on today is getting my boss to understand this is what's going on. Also, my brain's dyslexia-like tendency to switch numbers around makes it especially hard to edit articles like this, which my boss doesn't comprehend at all.

And then you take the shreds and braid 'em up into the accessory of your choosing - headband, bracelet, necklace, whatever - and go right on wearing it.

That's a great idea.

It sounds promising, Dana! Don't stress!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I don't think they'd set up a time for a call just to tell him he didn't get the job.

I certainly hope they would call either way, but setting the appointment to me says there's something to discuss. So, good sign. Fingers crossed!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend!

I love getting more light at the end of the day, but I'll be a zombie in the mornings for about a week.
