Dear Population-At-Large:
I have a college degree in biology, a teaching certificate (technically, I have *two*), and am licensed in four states to sell pretty much any type of insurance. I use this as an example that I am not stupid, so the next person who speaks to me as if I am, indeed, incapable of independent thou...ght, shall be soundly ( Read more... ) -

If you wrote out your life story for your kids to read once *they* were adults, how honest do you think you'd be? What sorts of things might you convienently "leave out"?

Some horrific lower intestinal bug hit me like a freight train about 1:45 this afternoon. I had to call Steffen to come home because I was afraid I was going to pass out. Cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, the big D. The works. Poor dr_a_nightfall called earlier and thought maybe he'd interrupted my Death Scene. (And all in all, made me think that I don't have it as ( Read more... ) -
