Yikes. No time for the interwebs lately. :(

I had a kid stick scissors in an outlet once, shock himself pretty good, and we packed him off to the ER. He came back the next day and was mad because the people in the ER kept telling him he only had a burn and wasn't electrocuted.

Glad your Dad is doing better! Congrats on the school and the girl and the move. :)

At least the motorcycle won't get mad that you're posting on a forum during the date. ;)

+ 100! Those guys are really a waste of oxygen.

Congrats to the cow! It's about 85F here today and the HEAT is on in the building. It's disgustingly hot in my room and there's no windows. ugh.
