This morning covered the briefing of Lees Martin on Faerie dos and don'ts. I thought it ( worth sharing )

There is no common ground. There is no agreement. There are only people who are determined to take everything in the worse possible way and twist it into some sort of insult ( Read more... )

This makes up for the family drama that's been roiling my digestion for the past few hours.

Part of the mental fog problem is that I borrowed an e-book from the library yestereve, opened it instead of saving it and ... wasn't sure if it would still be available if I shut the netbook down ... so I stayed up until almost ( Read more... )

If it weren't that the eggs need views, I'd likely not be posting today. I'm upset with my elder son and afraid of what I might say for that reason, until I calm down again, I don't want to talk to him, about him or think of him in the slightest. At this moment, I quite understand how my mother can rail at her children the way she does. I don't ( Read more... )
