I came nowhere close to reading your entire post.

Synopsis: don't have kids?

Little late for that here... but I think the more salient lesson is not to do dumbass things like locking your keys in your car.

And I appreciate your frankness re: not reading my diatribe. :)

I guess the annoying little things you can philosophize away when single become emergencies when you have kids.

You may also (and probably do) have better coping techniques. Truthfully, most days I manage to keep my cool and laugh about the little annoyances. Sometimes, I just get overwhelmed and my ability to take it in stride goes way down.

Man, I had this witty reply all typed out and the LJ told me I couldn't post it because your comment doesn't exist. I hope that doesn't send you into an existential crisis or anything, but that's what LJ said.

You'll just have to trust me, it was SUPER witty.

Sure, NOW the comment exists. @@

I actually got through your entire post. I think largely because it had funny pie charts that projectile sweat. Which 1) is a hilarious concept, and B) makes for a funny pie chart.

And while I appreciate your distaste for Cathy, I have to nominate Dennis The Menace as my least favorite cartoon character. We're supposed to think he's just a cute little scamp, but he's awful. Here's all the evidence we need: Dennis is the protagonist, but if you took a poll to see who wants Mr. Wilson to strangle him with his own slingshot, I bet you'd get a bigger landslide than when asking "Cake or Death?"

I always enjoy reading you :)

Oh, I hate Dennis too. And Family Circle. What a load of crap Family Circle is. But for me, Cathy takes it. I can't think of anything less funny than a middle aged woman talking about the mundane details of her life.

Wait!! Can I take that back??

bigwhiteymcgee November 3 2006, 21:45:34 UTC

Oh, God...Family Circus. Don't get me started. "Oh, look, little Jeffy misused a word! Oh my God, get me some oxygen, I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard!" I can't think of anything so singularly unfunny. Except maybe Ziggy. You can see my entry on interchangeable Ziggy captions if you care to dig back.

And as far as Cathy...what does that say about Irving? He had like six chances to break up with her for good and he kept coming back. What's in HIS past?

A thing of beauty, is this post. rebwins November 21 2006, 04:40:01 UTC

I had that thought long ago, when you actually wrote this diatribe of sweet, sweet hilarity, but then I was all caught up in my version of true middle-aged angst (you're planning on dying at 60?), and neglected to cheer you on ( ... )

Re: A thing of beauty, is this post. englshivy November 22 2006, 18:46:39 UTC

Plastic key? I never heard of such a thing! Oh, well. It wouldn't have done me any good that day because I locked my wallet in the car with the keys.

What I did was made a copy of my key, and bought one of those magnet boxes to stick underneath the car. It seems like a slight security risk, but what's the alternative? I suppose I could always duct tape a spare to the back of my license plate and screw it back on, but what if I get caught outside without a screwdriver?

Re: carabiner. Of course it would be carabiner. At least I ultimately got closer than my first thought which was "carabeaner." And now my attempts to impress you all with my amazing vocabulary have backfired. Hoist of my own petard!
