As does this quote... from Eldest by Christopher Paolini
"I've seen men who throw their affection at young maids, like grain tosses at chickens. The maids sigh and weep and believe that they are special, yet for the man, it's only a trifling amusement."
seems i have seen and been part of this wonderful phenomena ... wooohoo ... my stomachs feeling a bit better and at a semi-normal meal for dinner tonight ... felt way better than i did at 8:30 this morning at which point i was praying for the second ranger to show up at 10. ... by then i was feeling marginally better and ended up staying the whole day ... which is good anyway because i would have done nothing but sit on the couch and feel guilty ... made some more dent in weeding out the gardens .... death to bad plants or something like that
