... this again? Gee, I wonder if something's being hinted at here.

...It's more complicated than these options make it sound, really.

[sharpmaskedman]

Life usually is.

Or death, as the case may be.

[inthewry]

Speaking from experience yourself?

[sharpmaskedman]

Regrettably.

[inthewry]

It happens to the best of us, and you seem to be wearing it well. ♥

[sharpmaskedman]

I always was resilient. Once I got stung by a bee and didn't even cry.

Mostly.

[inthewry]

Mmm, so very brave.

[sharpmaskedman]

I should tell you about the time with the spiders.

[inthewry]

Were they bigger or smaller than a breadbox?

[sharpmaskedman]

Smaller, but there were two of them and they had long hairy legs.

[inthewry]

Our hero outnumbered! Whatever shall he do?

[sharpmaskedman]

Fortunately, I had a newspaper on hand.

[inthewry]

And a pithy editorial is the bane of spiders everywhere.

[sharpmaskedman]

I didn't have time to find out. But fortunately Dear Abby had a column on what to do in case of spiders.

[inthewry]

That is fortunate. And you followed her sage advice?

[sharpmaskedman]

Yes, and it saved the day. I also found out what to do if my boyfriend wants me to change careers to suit his needs, but somehow that scenario's never come up.
