    Oh no, not at all. I thought I'd written about my sis-in-law before. I had to put up with being in the same room as her for five hours over the holiday party at my parents, the first time I've knowingly been on the same tract of land as her in three years. Sometimes I doubt the existence of a higher power because she's still alive and not in horrible pain in a remorte part of the world where they have never heard of morphine!

    I think all the threads and posts about LP are ridiculously boring and have jumped the shark.

    Hubby got me a nice chocolate covered strawberry edible arrangement for Valentine's day. I've only had 1 strawberry because of the nausea. Luckily he's out of town so he won't notice when I throw the rest out.

    The only regret I have about the job change/move that we began 18 months ago is that my wife has to work from home. It really doesn't suit her. And it hurts me inside. Even with all the other positives the move brought us. I think about apologizing to her from time to time, but it wouldn't help.

    Some day my job seems like I am trying to drink from the fire hose and only getting a drop of water here an there. I look at my friends that are working as consultants or for the dark side and sometimes wonder what if...

    I have that thought a lot... Unfortunately I think I would dislike working for most investors even more than I dislike being under the thumb of a City Council.

    "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

    Can I be tired of being a Diabetic ?

    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
    Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
    Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

    Are you sure you're not hurt ?
    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
    Broke parts take a little longer, though.

    I forgot these were in the dresser drawer...

    ...a pair of arctic camo pattern string briefs. Actually, very comfortable. I promise not to post a picture.

    Thank you for sparing our eyes however some might need some brain bleach to wash that image away.

    I rechecked. This might be a swim suit because the front is lined.
