Yawn, so my tolerance is definitely less than two glasses of wine...
That hit me the other day when I saw her peering into the drawer in the bathroom. Durn, when did she get so tall.
Flying is completely different.
yer momma didn't raise no fool...
Heh, no, and I'll beat up the fool who says she did.
I can handle more than two glasses of wine. But we had Mexican tonight. Margaret and Rita were there.
I ain't tipsy. But I'm going up to take out my contacts in a minute and just don't see the need to come back downstairs.
See y'all tomorrow.
Time for a rousing chorus of "Sunrise, Sunset"...
Evenin' folks... I just flew in from San Francisco, and boy... are my arms tired... -rimshot-
Howdy all. [sip]
Night, man.
Mmm... margatira... er, mragriea... whatever. You get the point.
G'nite, Corin! See ya 'round!
All it requires is a leap of faith!
Not so little anymore is she. Has her own phones and everything. Hasn't tried to bum my car keys yet...she just swipes Msdrby's.
Oops, saw you've solved your problem. That sounds like a nice outfit. Classic, but not too dressy.
Good evening!
~sip~
Evenin' :~D
Oh, ain't you cute!!
I hope so! The blouse is pretty loose...and of a kind that doesn't tuck in. Which I guess means less fussy. And I really do like the color! I tried to find one like it online so's I could show ya, but since it's on clearance, it wasn't on the website.
It sounds like a good idea...
"Hey Dad, you know those tickets to that marriage seminar...well, I hope it's ok, but we gave them to a friend that couldn't really afford to go but wanted to...and since it's not something that we are in to, I asked her if she'd like our tickets. She is so excited about it."
You come off compassionate and thankful at the same time.

I feel a lot better about giving it away than just wasting it, if they really won't refund.
Flying is different because airplanes have floors under them, and the windows are too small to get the sensation of falling out of them.
I have a certain yet controllable acrophobic reaction to heights. I write it off as a sincere respect for gravity and all it implies. But I have a very difficult time getting close to edges of cliffs or peering over really long drops.
One of the hardest things I ever did was that bungee jumping thing some years ago off a bridge up in the mountains. Eric, my bud that I went with... was also into skydiving... which I'm not. He said that the bungee jump was magnitudes more terrifying than skydiving. When you're skydiving the ground is a long, long, long way away. When you're bungee jumping the rocks that you're going to bash your head against are RIGHT THERE and you can SEE THEM.
Its funny, but while the bungee jump was terrifying beforehand, once my toes finally left the bridge and I started falling... the sensation of fear *completely* disappeared. It's like there's a mechanism in the brain that clicked on a said "Well... nothing we can do about this now... may as well enjoy the ride... " :-)
