I know you're mad about me fridayfiver

1. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
Telekinesis. Flying would be my back-up choice.

2. Which is more attractive to you: physical appearance or personality?
I liked minouette's answer here. While I understand that biologically we seek out physical perfection in our partners because it signals fitness for ( Read more... )

What is going ON with the transit in this city?!?

I had to go to the bank today and it took me over an hour to take a 20 minute trip. Dundas car is down for the summer, part of College is closed. King St. is closed from Bay St. to Church St. because something fell off a building yesterday - that's another thing: hasn't there been a lot of things ( Read more... )

Attention Friends! I am feeling better! You can stop planning what outfits you're gonna wear to my wake! That is all. Carry on ( Read more... )

The husband's back (and there's gonna be tro-uble, hey-na, hey-na) and I survived work today.

I'm feeling a little more human, and extremely grateful to no longer be dizzy.

I wrote a little drabble yesterday while contemplating life and illness horizontally. Folks liked it. It made me feel good.

The newbie, Linda, is actually kinda cool if you look past the hair extensions and the 1/2 pound of make ( Read more... )

So, the hammer fell today, so to speak, and I made it out alive. The new employee is nothing to worry about - Linda, a forty-something mother of two teenage boys with Dolly Parton-esque hair extensions and some fashion challenges of her own, doesn't have any experience in retail OR sales whatsoever. She's quite nice and chatty, and she's personable ( Read more... )

'Kay, so Grandma came through the surgery alright yesterday. She was awake and alert shortly afterward and the doctors said that the operation was textbook. Now we just have to wait and see: the artery balloon is inflated and more blood is circulating to her legs, so hopefully that, along with the meds, will clear up the gangrene. If it doesn't, ( Read more... )

This week's fridayfiver:

1. What have you said lately that has gotten you into trouble? Just about EVERYTHING that I said/did when the whole Fluevog debacle blew up in my face was wrong, and, yes, it got me into wicked trouble, didn't it ( Read more... )
