Absolutely the ultimate. :D

I really, really hope you get caught and lose your license.

OMG, so beautiful!! :)

So glad to hear you are doing well on the recovery train. :) <3

That just sounds like a dangerous thread to read in general. ;)

Thanks for that reminder. I’m trying to learn more about investing, and when you say, “index isn’t a magic word,” that makes sense, but you’re right that that word is thrown around so much that it starts sounding like it *is* a magic word. 

I feel for you, Paul. I’ve put my foot in my mouth a couple of times meaning to compliment someone or just seeing someone after a long time and being shocked that they looked *really* different, and then have felt awful seeing the hurt in their eyes, realizing my words came out wrong.

I am so very sorry. :( I know that isn’t even an adequate thing to say and wish I had something better to tell you to comfort you. I am angry that the universe is such an unfair place that this happens to people. 

Eeep! Good to know about the scorpions. Although that sadly kills my Tuscan vacation fantasies. :/

Agreed — unless there is some crisis going on at your office, vacation is something you’ve earned and should be able to take to do whatever you want. Sounds like your employer has a bizarre idea of what “vacation” means.

OMG, love the one in the customer pic so much! Ha! :D

Thank you. :D I thought maybe I was being hypercritical, but someone else thought the same thing!! Ha!

Very interesting. I did have the good fortune of going through a very good public school system in Texas.

There was a bit of tongue in cheek to my comment. :D I can see where Shakespeare might not have been part of your college major (I was an English lit and French language/lit major), but you never had to read Shakespeare in junior high or high school?? That honestly stuns me.

LOL! Uh oh ... :D

That’s actually impressive. :D
