My flight home delayed hours, so had two glasses of cab & two of water (pretending diluted). Naturally much needed ladies' room had long line out into concourse. Wiggling there I wonder, for the first time, just why anyone born with a convenient hose attached would want to trans to being a woman. The reverse makes so much more sense.
I have an ear ache! >:[ And of course it's in the ONLY BLOODY EAR THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!
Well, you could do the other parts and keep the hose ... that might be the best of both. Who knows? Not I.Quote:

The singer is my mother's 3rd cousin and it isn't just family pride that has me saying he's simply incredible in this performance.
The day has been just as dismal. There's this brand spanking new, rather fancy, Dobsonian telescope sitting on my desk. I really don't care that there's snow on the ground and having lived in one of the top ten coldest cities worldwide cold doesn't mean much either. But it's actually raining, pouring at times, and there's not a single star visible.
It's also helpful for being able to write one's name in the snow. The disadvantage is that it's sometimes used as a substitute for a brain.Quote:

I've only been to two concerts (and one an oldies "all stars" set) so to me, it would have seemed impossible to have forgotten that one had I been there. But he swears he doesn't remember. You could have gone, had an amazing time, and still not made the memories you'd like to have in your trove. That probably is of little to no help, but it's what I have.
Update on my plane trip home: Arrived to discover I had small hole in outside luggage pocket that had all my keys. Gone. I now know I have keys to way too much shit. I need to live in a tent & walk.
I have telescope in my great room. I envy the brain of Stephen Hawking. I've read two of his books twice...still understand nada. Ms. Pea Brain Sas
Just heard that Carrie Fisher has died.
Fuck you, 2016. Seriously, just fuck you. You take away all of our favorite celebrities and give us Trump? No, really....fuck you!!
I just can't imagine what her mother is going through now. It's one thing to bury an aged parent, but to bury your own child? It doesn't matter if Carrie were 6 or 60, no parent should ever have to bury their own child!!
