    Kit - actually, in your case I think it's probably true.

    You might think so, but you don't have the pleasure of trying to live with me.

    Trust me, after a year of bike-soiled dish towels, bike/mechanic/outdoorsystuff cluttered house, drama, money issues, mania and mayhem, I understand the laughter, and you might, too In lotsa ways, I'm 'very' 20.

    310 pages.... wow... I've been busy back to work and got behind on reading TD. Was going to skip it but saw that BMO3 managed to entire thing so thought I'd better get caught up.

    All I can say this evening is:

    "'tis a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht t' nicht." Not sure if the spelling's right though... My dear Scottish Grandpa taught me how to say that when I was a wee bairn. I remember my favourite movie when I was a kid was about some Scottish kids who find a baby and try to look after it themselves. Can't remember what it was called. Mid 1960's? Anyway, I LOVED the way they said "wee babby".

    Lise - my ex and my SO are both 10 years older than me. Kelownaguy is 56 and is very athletic and active. We do tons of active things together and although there's a chance I will spend some years alone after he's gone, you never know. I'm certainly not going to let something like age stop a good relationship. I'd take a mature man over a young idiot anyday.

    Speaking of organ music, there was a time I was sleeping in the woods and had to put up with someone's organ music. I was laying in my hammock between 2 trees about a mile from a road listening to bad organ music. Kind of strange. That sound really carries.

    The Trouble with Tribbles was the absolutely worst episode. The beginning (the Shore leave conversation and the spaceport bar scenes) was brilliant but it went downhill fast from there and that final line of Scotty's was just the worst

    Btw, in the light of this post of hers ;I repeat my statement of a few pages ago that Kitsune is not 23 at all and propose (again) that she fell through the hole she was supposed to be darning in the fabric of the Space/Time Continuum.
    She probably even jumped in on purpose. These accidents don't just "happen".
    I should know. They "happen" to me too.

    BUT. You have to love the Klingons! They were just sort of vaguely Arab prince-like bad guys. Worf would never have recognized them. It's like they went to the Klingon Discount Warehouse for those characters. Then they got some money later, and upgraded.

    I've been swamped with house stuff and work stuff, so not much time to post or catch up. I'm trying, though!

    Lise - It can't hurt to see what these "older" guys have to offer. I wouldn't rule them out just because of age. Would you want someone to rule you out just because of age? They may be quite handsome and will likely be more mature and together. You never know! MWBR - right?


    Update on Roux... He's home and doing great! His eyes are bright (and not runny and more), the blisters/tumors on his nose are gone, he's chasing cats, scarfing up the kids' food, and greeting us at the door and wagging! He's still breathing a bit fast and is sleeping a lot, but all in all he loos great! He's gone through 4 days of chemo at the Vet hospital and now is on oral chemo for 30 days and gets injections of two other drugs once a week for the next month. Then - we see what happens! The side effect of this is that he has carcinogenic/toxic poop! So - we have to use gloves to clean up after him and the kids can't go in the yard. It's worth it, though. They can play in the front yard! Thanks for the healing thoughts for him - it seems to be working!

    Appraisal was done on the MS house this morning - no problem there! Now - I'm waiting for the movers to call, so we can schedule the move! Yikes I'm busy!

    Whew! Finally caught up. I was gone from Friday till midnight Sunday up in Georgia. I am too tired to contemplate writing about it. Not too tired for manual labor (putting my brick "landing" out by my truck, in its tree garage, underground so I can get the lawnmower over it) and reclaiming my front little landing thing from the giant grass and fireants. A fellow TEer found me on the ride and recognized me from my avatar, pic to follow!

    I'll agree with you that I'm not 23... and I'm probably 'very' 20 for all the reasons lots of other TE'ers here could be '20'

    Was Wrath of Khan the one where Scotty's nephew got killed and smeared blood on Kirk's dress uniform, and through the rest of the movie, the smear changed size, shape, and location?

    "KHAN!!!!"

    Gotta love continuity flaws.

    SadieKate--how're things with your folks? It seems to me you've been around a little less than usual (although thanks for the Bubba + SK story!). Makes me wonder if you're doing more caretaking. Take care of you, too. L.
