Kryptonite

This morning the shower radio fell right on my Achilles tendon, and now I’m walking funny. Curses! Why did my Achilles heel have to be my Achilles heel?

I think the more important question here is what on earth where you doing to make it fall in the first place?

For your information, I was dying off with the towel when an errant elbow knocked it off the wall.

dying off with the towel.

Now that is an excellent typo. Especially since you had a wild elbow. What kind of crazy painful death was this?

(you can't go back and fix your mistake!! I already made a comment!)

(Sigh) There's only one thing left for me to do: Shake my fist at the whole lot of you and move on with my life.

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it.

At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
