We measure things in months, which vary in the number of sunrises, on a cycle of 12. By that standard, it's been more than one. By another standard, it's been about three.I think it's a consequence of A) my not being at liberty to be on the Internet any time I feel inspired; B) the fact that I am not often inspired in general, even as unrelated to my so-called indentured v. free time.Tasks

As has my signature, over my lifetime, my laugh has changed. I noted this phenom. decades ago, and I didn't know how to explain it. I didn't engineer the changes, either; they just happened. I did sometimes act to correct or curtail them. The process has always felt … meta. If you are of a certain age, you can peg Rosanne Barr's 'ha,' or even Johnny Carson's chuckle, Chris Rock's blast-laugh, etc

this house (orig. of Mr. Price, who made his fortune along the Missouri River somehow) has belonged to the sisters (Benedictine of Atchison) for a while now, perhaps 20 years or so, and if you can find any data on his first name, etc., you are a better search-engine guru than I; it is not right not to have such data ((heard from a nun's head)) easily found on a library site online; it's a pretty

Not having images is a death-throe (is the hyphen necessary) to any online (or printed article, except for the WSJ, and we all know who bought that old thing).I agree.Throes can last quite a long time.Brown recluse spiders apparently can live five to ten years.

After leaving childhood and the need to occupy the morning blankness while eating my cereal, I ceased to be influenced by any kind of food-box design.I "see" the fonts and the clever Serving Suggestion photos, but all I read and respond to is the Nutrition Facts chart relegated to the side.

I have to say that, a week after I sent in my, "Yes, you missed my resignation, etc.," I got another, "If you continue to be AWOL, you will be AWOL" letter (all at an 80-something-¢ postage charge for the Feds by the Feds).This is evidence why I can't believe in "conspiracy."

I have hardly eaten this past week; am always hungry. up 18 hours a day. Not so inclined to eat, which is the odd part.The worst part is that i can't drink enough water.I wake up with and have at many times while awake sharp dehydration headaches.

Once when coming home on Amtrak, before the 19th-century (era) Union Station was turned back into a train depot from a shopping mall (ah, the '80s; what had developers been thinking?), and the terminal was a 12-by-10-foot structure underneath the multiple interstates (ah, we were thinking about cars, indeed!), we came across a man a few blocks later who said, "Do you know where they can stick it?

For some practices, it means six weeks; it's hard to predict / report to those who need (care) to know.Delayed Attention Syndrome; I need more processing time; I'm not G-anything.

Thirteen years ago a human life ceased. The contrasts of effort still puzzle me. Crush a roach, usher a spider or wasp, bury an unknown pigeon.

You know that scene near the end of "Cabaret," when Liza Minnelli's character, Sally, flops backwards into her featherbed, still wearing the black-sequined dress with the goldfishes on it, after being confronted by Brian (Peter York) about her abortion?What about that one where Stella (Kim Hunter) runs up the stairs the second time, with the baby, fleeing her husband, at the end of the movie?And

I am not talking about pornography, though I could. Recent stories include having someone promote around a piece of drippy erotica on Facebook without prefacing it with anything but "read what I just wrote"; I function poorly as a social human and was unable to say anything more than, "Wow, you didn't tell us it was rated!" I hate being confronted with others' bad judgment. Another woman

Four large tasks on the plate, and there are no eggs or bacon on the side.That chicken farmer owns too many farms and doesn't seem to care much for hygiene. I'm surprised there were not sickened egg-eaters sooner.Back from that aside, I am letting the rain make me feel the opposite of the heart palpitatious nervousness that made me un-sleep at 7 instead of 8.

Do you think the majority of people have an easier time coming up with things they dislike than with those that they enjoy, appreciate, or look forward to?Do you think that, even if that number were in balance, that the people who claim to like such-and-such, especially the kind of people one used to call a Pollyanna but who have become complicated and often religious, actually feel, on the whole

Lots of people are waiting for for 65 so they can sit back and not ever work again. I guess I'm glad I've been working that time into my life as I go. I am not saving anything. So far. It's kind of a silly joke. I don't appreciate enough what they above me have done for me. I have never worked for a company that had a pension — except when I was in Japan.

It's where the nails can be found. It's where the college students' drunken babble echoes on Thursday nights.Perpendicular to it in a driveway, clean neighbor is vacuuming out her car.A little while ago, she was pulling the arm of a man, helping him up, from the alley.He: Shirtless, tattooed, sunburnt, with bowed and poorly functioning legs.Thank you, ma'am.You bet.He stooped over unsteadily

They will not be happy until they have their mating instinct (regardless of offspring-generation-wishes) satisfied. They have very high standards. They (I'm thinking of three-five in particular) have been loved by me, but I did not qualify as their type : )Others will stay single for what seems like indefinitely, and they will remain jocular in bachelorhood, showing signs of strain but with

Recently I told the Facebook world, which shares little overlap with this one, that I had two consecutive +~$35 phone bills due to the addition of 5¢-charges stemming, one at a time, from sending or receiving texts after the 300/month limit has been reached. I think it's 300. I do know that the two lines can't "share" their quotas, that one phone (mine) uses far too many while his uses very few

From 6:3o to 9 a.m.Went to work (coffee /breakfast with colleague; we didn't get much done — a sort-of friend felt like telling us a really long story about jobs and job-esque things, and I compared him to a person he had just said was difficult to talk to … I love not having a filter right now, being innocuously honest when I say things like, "You're very much the same, just orbiting in two

Sounds like a good combination: Two adults, three kids, 10 helpings of food at dinner.I've just finished again Main Street. I have no kids. We hardly have "dinners."Equations are not always equal, because serving size depends on so many things, as so many things depended on Williams's Red Wheel Barrow, in the rain, with those white chickens.For example, to bring the faux metaphor (I shall call
