I sit in front of this sticky keyboard, crack my knuckles, and wonder what the booming sound is next door. I'm going to go look. Ah, neighbor Connelly dropping big concrete blocks.
So, eyes wander to the plant--guess I haven't killed it, the bugger--the only one that survived the frickin' freezing house this winter. Paisley's plant from college. The one she named Penis. But, truth is, I think every plant she had she named Penis.
Damn, it's hot in here. I'm going to open a window--my dog stinks. Window open. Nice breeze. I used to swear I'd never have a dog because I just couldn't imagine living with this smell. Love ma Roxy.
For the first time since we bought it in the year 2000 (listen up you PC lovers) our iMac has had an incident. Never glitched before like this--lost all of my emails that I had been saving back from, well. 2000.
So unhappy--lost letters that archived my life from then, in some respects. Emails exchanged between myself and my parents during tense times, friendship hashouts, political debates between myself and my conservative aunt, coordinating of happy times.
When it was certain that they were gone, and my husband had said a dejected "I'm so sorry" for the 20th time as he felt he was to blame for the glitch in the first place, I had to cry a little as I made my turkey sandwich.
Sweet and bitter memories, no longer on my computer hard drive, now just a dim flicker in my brain.

This got booted off of Craig's List--me! the rabble rouser!...
"Good luck getting hundreds for your crap dresser"
People! come on--you are not going to get serious money for your "solid built oak" or other ugly dresser that looks like it belongs firmly in the 70's or 80's--you would be lucky if someone hauled it away for free!
And, just because it MAY be an antique, doesn't mean you're going to get good money for it. This is a garage sale, folks--I don't care how much you spent on it originally--ain't no one going to give you near what you think it's worth--especially if you are so cheap that you are trying to sell it on a website that doesn't charge you to advertise it!
I have been trying to find a decent dresser on the Craig's List website for a long time now and I see the same shit over and over again because people are delusional about how much they think they are going to get for their ugly crap. There is a reason your advert expired without any bites! If it didn't sell for $400--it's not going to sell for $350--just drop the price down to $50 and maybe you'll get rid of it--maybe not even then.
God, and don't waste my time by not telling me if there is a major flaw in what you are selling--I drove clear from Seattle to Monroe only to find out the "nice Gentleman's dresser" pictured so prettily on a posting had broken drawers and crappy leg--all for $300! No thanks--mind reimbursing me for the gas I just wasted?
this is in or around everywhere
no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
