I didn't have to dog-sit, even though I love dog-sitting, I had bibimbap for dinner, I'm on the right track with my thesis research, and I got to practice nice parking lot etiquette, which is karmically awesome.

I miss that about teaching little kids, too. Especially when I could watch them trying to come up with the compliment they thought I would like best.

For various reasons, I didn't see my older sister for about six years when I was growing up, and then saw her only at large family gatherings. Many years later, she stayed over at my house, and it was so amazing, because she smelled the same!

It's easy to get caught up in those ideas! That volunteer opportunity sounds really cool. You're welcome - keep your head up!

Awww. So glad she's back with you. Sweet thing. I hate to think of how her previous experiences made her feel so untrusting. Good for you for taking her in.

I agree, if it feels right, try opening up to people on the track team, who obviously have some level of dedication to something that you really enjoy.

Okay,

I understand the message, and I appreciate that it's awareness-raising and has us all talking. That said...

Ah! My people! The Saracen fans! :)

That combo sounds good. I like the next poster's addition of Tami, too, though. *dreamy*

CA native here. When I was getting off BART one day, I saw a couple in their early 60s, with the husband trying to negotiate getting both large suitcases either up the long, steep staircase or the narrow escalator. I offered to help them, of course, and did so.
They exclaimed to each other that it was clear they…

Don't know why I clicked on this. Glutton for punishment. I have no depth perception (yeah, just like Kevin Nealon in that awesome sketch) - and am supremely cautious boarding the down escalator.

Another totally regularly irregular person here. Usually, almost always, when my quads feel randomly exhausted, I know it's coming. But there are those times when I don't have that clue.

So sad. So allergic. *sniff*

I still love the way he leans.
