I was just about to go to bed. Thank God I keep xanies on hand for times like these.

I went back to a dino phone for a year, and loved it. Then in January, a new job required a smart phone. I’m drowning in apps. I’m looking forward to the day I can again be a smug minimal user and not be ruled by my phone.

In Minnesota, as in California where I have personal experience with this, a half sib has the same rights as a full sib. They are treated the same by law.

The joy of leaves.

Oh yes they enforce it. I had a staredown over a cup of coffee and lost. Now I have a coffee purse, but it looks like that isn’t going to work any more.

Exactly. Until recently I worked with the public and parents would instruct their kids to. “thank Miss Peggy” as I did this or that for them. I tended to play the den mother role and some of my younger coworkers also referred to me by that. First name was fine by me, but I won’t lie, the Miss Peggy always tickled me.…

Oh, honey...you have no idea the evils middle aged women can do. And we LIKE it.

You must be the luckiest food service worker on the face of this earth. Here's a difference you're got getting: Food server behaves badly-you can complain and get a refund and you get to mentally or really flip them off as you sashay out the door. Customer behaves badly: you have to grin and bare it because if you…

He looks like every babydyke I ran with in the '80's.

I sent $5-yeah, I know-and she credited back yesterday. Whether it was her idea, PayPal's or the law, who knows?

I saw Creativity flags and figured they'd been on a craft buzz at Hobby Lobby.
