Joe Jackson has the song Nineteen Forever so there is some musical love for the age there.

I've heard your words, Karl. While I'm familiar with that sense of inadequacy, I'm sure the words only sound hollow to your own ears. Feel free to say what you want to say, though I think I mixed up this person with Tupac's mother Afeni, so I'm a bad revolutionary right now I don't cancel anything cause it's not my money, though maybe I use it a little less.

I'm afraid I mostly just recognize her name enough to know there is respect due.

I have balanced my checkbook or whatever you call it when there are no checks involved, and I have a good chance of not getting overdrawn before payday, hooray! And this is when my extra money from cashing in vacation time comes in, so I'm excited about that. I'm gonna pay so many bills, y'all! Or maybe just one bill but extra hard. But it's exciting!

Dear Extra-wide Pickup Driver,

You do NOT want to play chicken with someone driving a 20-year-old Chevy that's already been bought back from salvage after the insurance company totaled it. Stick to your own lane!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, Tim's blood pressure made the decision on whether or not I'm going to the 40-year grade school reunion. His blood pressure is normally like 108/60-something, but today it's 80/50-something. This happened last weekend, and his oncologist said that because he doesn't have any other symptoms, he doesn't need to go to the ER, but should hydrate as much as possible, including electrolytes. But if he *does* develop any other symptoms (fever, abdominal pain), he should go to the ER right away. So I'm for damn sure not leaving him home by himself. Even if someone like our nephew could come hang out with him, I don't want to be a 45-minute drive away. So for now we hydrate. And I honestly don't mind missing the reunion. My inner trash goblin who craves drama will survive.

Yeah, that’s a stay home situation. Hope it doesn’t escalate

Last weekend it eventually resolved with aggressive hydration and a little light exercise. Hoping today will be the same.

well, maybe somebody you like can get you the highlights(lowlights? Whichever.) Good wishes for Tim.

Yes, you would be too distracted to really enjoy any drama at the event. Will watching the news help raise Tim's BP? It works for me! I hope the hydration helps quickly.

I messaged the only person who I would trust to dish the dirt, and she's not going either. So I'll have to hope there are pictures posted on Facebook and I'll try to infer all sorts of drama from the pictures.

Oh man, SAME. Maybe we should try that, for science!
