These replies deserved some extra airtime

goestoeleven said: It has long been a dream of mine to put up a billboard, ideally in an area that experiences heavy rush hour traffic, that simply says, “Everything will be OK.”
coyotesqrl reblogged this from nolagrrlnyc and added: That’s easy. This billboard intentionally left blank.
Most awesome reply

Hometown heroes? →
I was just getting ready to write something about tomorrow’s parade for the Giants when I took a quick peek to see how others were reacting and yep, others had already said what I was thinking.
I was lucky I finally found someone who wanted to...
We may have to have a Tumblr game night. :)

I love carcassone. I just wish I had people who wanted to play it around me

I just played this for the first time last month! Awesome game!

ronbailey asked: OK, put on your NFL guru hat - I have a question, as a somewhat casual fan. Who is your pick to win the Superbowl? I watched maybe 6 regular season games this year, and almost all of the playoffs. Based on my observation - especially from watching the two league championship games - New England seems like a much, much better football team. Hell, both the AFC teams - the Ravens and the Patriots -...

Insecurities, I got 'em
Feel free to scroll on past, I’m just trying to sort something out in my brain while I fill the time between the first class I taught tonight and the next one which doesn’t start until 1:30am.
The semester for the class I’m taking (completely different from the ones I’m teaching) has just started and I feel like an idiot. I struggled writing my first 500 discussion post...

Fate is a cruel snake: #JoyforJulie →
frageelay:
When I read of Julie’s news about the cancer overstaying its welcome this morning, I had myself a good cry. I got mad. I prayed. And then I thought about this incredible community here and how much we all adore Julie. We may not hold a magical cure for cancer in our hands,…

Truthful Tuesday
I’m sorry I won’t be around for Snark. There are many of you I would love to meet, see, hug, whatever, but I’ll be away. Still working out if I can make it to CHSH.

Attacked from within and without
I know I need to slow down. I don’t heed the suggestions of my conscious self and so the unconscious takes over and sends forth the minions of the dreamtime to accost me. Dreams so bizarre and last night graphically disturbing. A finger on my hand cooked and carved so I could see the pieces of tender muscle being pulled out from the fatty and sinewy surroundings. Random flashes of the other...

Apologies are nice but ...
finallychelle replied to your post: They heal the body but not the mind
Incredible that you got an apology. Most folks are pretty stingy with those. Glad she is making progress on multiple fronts.
You’re right, “I am sorry” are three words that people have as much trouble saying as “I love you.” Mom, like the rest of us, is a work in progress. Raising her is a...

They heal the body but not the mind
As I’m talking to mom this morning she mentions, as she usually does, an article from today’s newspaper. She says she felt bad for this guy who, like her, had been in a bad accident and had to learn to walk again. But that’s where their similarity ends, sort of. He is going through a divorce/custody battle, getting back to work and he’s a Lions fan. He’s no doubt been...
