what does exanimate mean?

The past few days have been chock full of good quotations:

1. "There are no kids here. It is all old ladies!" - 3 year old boy in the OB/GYN office this morning, after looking at me. I guess I qualify as an "old lady" now... hmm.

2. "Legal Sec'y wanted, personal injury required." - Job advertisement from today's Washington Post

3. "I thought people only posted entries on Facebook when they were bombed out of their skulls." - Mom, last night. And yes, she really did use the phrase "bombed out of their skulls." I love it!

My little bro asked me for love advice the other day. Instead of the chat we had, I should have told him to listen to the Billy Joel song "Tell Her about it" because really, that kind of sums it up.



a good song, for sure.

Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control

You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul

You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real

Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means

Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly

When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure

Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there

Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe

Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone

Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes

Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes

She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do

Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real

Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
