I'll be the thing that goes bump in the night... "BUMP!"

I guess this thread applies as I am 63 and have managed to shed most of my angst.
Good riddance.

Did you drop it off at the local angst pound?

I hope you took it to a recycling center. Today's young people often can't create enough of their own angst, and need secondhand angst from their elders...

Oh, btw, everybody, got some interesting news the other day. After his half-day assessment, Iain has been diagnosed with ADHD, obstructive sleep apnea potentially requiring tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, and high-functioning autism. So now we have two autistic kids, as well as one autistic adult. Fortunately, when J's medical discharge is processed, he's going to have a sufficiently high disability rating that he'll be effectively medically retired, so they all still get free medical care from the base hospital...

thank goodness something good will come of it.

sent you a little shaker, postie... hope you enjoyed it today.

kid has to have surgery. bad things growing inside. keep fingers crossed for us, will be away for a while.

First one I actually felt. I turned around in my chair to see if a cat had jumped up on the back of it and I hadn't noticed it there before. Felt like a cat had moved from up there, chair sorta wiggled a bit for a couple of seconds. No cat, no reason, figured it was just one of those old age body things that happen for no damn good reason that I know of.

hi - new person hesitantly steps inside and looks for ... not sure how to say without saying too much? anyway, hi.

Bah!! write all ya want and then some, if you have a mind to. You have me wondering just what it is you see or saw or are looking around for. If we don't have it, we'll get it.

We had a cabana boy around here at one time, fetch us drinks of choice and other little wonderment's (I think some of the ladies got em someplace. I figured it better not to ask.) while we laze back and recite our favorite lines, that we often make up in our minds on the spot and think are highly informative for others to wonder at. Or something close to what I just said, maybe......, hell I don't know, I don't see it written in the bylaws you gotta know anything to say it. Did we ever do any bylaws for in here? Forget bylaws, we'll recite the rules as we need them, personalized, of course, on the spot or just to the side of the spot.

Jump in with both feet, no one knows any more then you do. (Can be dangerous for us to allow ourselves to believe they do...too strongly.) Human trait, others just think they do. (Me included, on bad days, depends on my point of reference in the moment, because I might consider it a good day and end up with the same point of view. Confused yet?) Why, they have all sorts of tests and stuff that proves they do, except, they made the tests, which disqualifies any further proofs on their part. I said so. Although, I do find it useful to ask about particulars, from time to time.

Well, we used to have bylaws, then we decided to have byebyelaws - I think it was the evul muffins what done it.

Howdy, m! Pull up a scone, and have a nice buttered seat. Or did I get those backwards again?

I am pleased to announce the state of gravity to be in a good shape. A little bent by my measurements and perhaps only a territory. But no one has planted a flag on it, yet. As my girl friend is so apt to just blurt out, for whatever reason she deems fit, "Mine!!". I can't dispute her and it would do no good. I haven't asked if she has a flag. I will ask. Be right back.


Weasels wobble but they don't fall down? Is that right?

Loose plaid flannel shirt, poka dot jammy bottoms, no shoes, hair all aflow, allovertheplace, and I need to ask if she has a flag? I don't think so. MINE!! And yes she would go outside with it on and not think twice. Did so yesterday and you would be amazed (or not) at her choice of footwear for the great wide open. It so fit the entire ensemble. (sigh)

Come to think of it, she had clothes on when she went out, proud of her. (sigh, again)

All the hoorah about that little quake they had in Virginia is giving me the giggles. Well, if it happens in D.C., I guess it's important.
