My memory (no doubt flawed) tells me that Ann and Jed knew each other at College. They were frequent chatters when Jed had been banished to the backwoods of Wenatchee Washington as a Substitute Teacher. (Famous for his role in "Children of Eden"). Ann was (I think) living in Tacoma.

Well, he needed another part for the tub spout anyway, so we'll get another vanity and he will put it in tomorrow.

The young plumber is here. The bad news is that the new vanity that has been on the patio for two months won't fit.

But does he have a nice butt? That's what's important! Jeez....

I hope the new vanity is even nicer.  After all this time can you return the old one?

I hope we can return the one I bought. It won't fit in the other bathroom, either, by the way.

The new one probably won't be as nice as this one; I picked out a really nice one the first time around. I suppose I will get something back for it.

Back from a jaunt to midtown, and now I'm watching the Republican Candidates debate.  Hmm....

Oh, standing me up in NY was a whole other situation DR Jose.

The two of us were married before ever meeting in person. Swishysarah officiated, I think. Or maybe BK did. I forget.

Well, this just seems to be a case of "He Said, He Said."

Don't they usually leave it on the nightstand?

Well, if the did that, then I would not be able to provide an invoice and receipt of payment.

So dissapointing.  Hoping you find something nice, and it is in stock.

However, some interesting questions have been asked, and some interesting answers have been given.  And some surprisingly honest answers too - at least to me.

DESPAIR

Quote
The InsecuriTee™
The proliferation of "Security" t-shirts, now worn at concerts and clubs by even the least intimidating specimens of mankind, has become a fashion cliche. Having lost both its novelty and threat, it has now ironically become an advertisement for one's insecurity.

With one eye grimly appraising the situation, and another eye fixated on an opportunity to financially exploit said situation, Despair Inc. introduces a radical and lucid alternative- the Insecuri-Tee™.

This elegant satirical twist on the time-worn "Security" shirt will serve two critical purposes for the concert goer who wears it. First- it will repel individuals without exception- as no trait is less attractive than a person draped in insecurity. Second- it will establish in the mind of the delusional adorner a paradoxical sense of superiority to those who claim to be "Security". Ooh-La-La, Sassoon!

At long last, Despair has introduced a product perfectly suited for disaffected college students!

Hi all, I can't stay for long because I need my beauty sleep.  I would have been here sooner but I was stopped by the man who lives across the street.  He asked if something was wrong.  

I had to tell him about Mom and we chatted for awhile.  He asked if I was going to stay in the house and I told him I was thinking about it but it is possible that I might decide to move.  He said he hoped I would stay.  

This year makes 28 in this house and they have been here just as long.

No one ever did call back last night.  I guess it might have been a wrong number.

I shall now be on my way to the theater - more cuts, apparently, which is a good thing - and my suggestion has been taken, which is also a good thing.
