2/10/08

* Judging from the price of post-LASIK eyedrops (and this is after-insurance price for two of the four, mind you), I'd say someone's figured out how to heal your wounds with flecks of gold.
* The thing to do in the 19th century was to collect locks of hair from your relatives and make albums. Not kidding.
* I don't know how much longer I can take this weather.
Winter: 57. Me: -4.
* You have not lived until you've scaled office furniture or kitchen cabinets to stop a squeak or fetch a pesky dish.
* If a salad looks perfectly packaged, that means it will fall out all over the place when you open it. Find a sink.
* In Taiwan, when taking a drink of anything other than tea, it's polite to toast someone you're eating with. Apparently this applies throughout the meal.
* It seems as though I'm hearing about more and more people my age getting married and/or having kids. (And when I say my age, I mean give or take five years.) Now, I'm not judging these people. I honestly do wish them all the best. In fact, some of these people are close friends. Some of them are my best friends. But that being said -- and I mean this in the nicest, most genuine way possible -- I think you're all insane.
* And to prove that I'm not becoming too cynical in my old a... well, just that I'm not becoming too cynical, my favorite Valentine's Day card yet: "Today, I thought about clawing you to pieces and then feasting on the remains. But I didn't. ... (open card) ... If that's not love, I don't know what is. Happy Valentine's Day from the cat."

That custom you mention explains why men with large families tended to be bald!

By the way--don't believe the cat--it is a common trick they use to lull you into a false sense of security--then pounce on you when you least expect it! Most people don't know until it's too late--cats actually are quite devious--they are the ones that first developed the scam about the guy in Nigeria that has a million dollars if you just help them get it out of the country...can't talk now...the cat is watching me...always watching....run while you still can!!
