I guess my postings have been a bit maudlin lately. Someone read my blog and cried? The approved (or at least likely) responses are:

• Sure are a lot of nonsense blogs on the intarweb. I thought they were all supposed to talk about candy and knitting.
• Mildred! What in Sam Hill is this nonsense? I clicked on the thing and this is supposed to be the minutes from the Cedar Rapids Snapdragon Appreciation Society meeting!
• man, i no u. i saw u <doing something> at <some place> + im gonna kick ur <there’s only one body part that you hear about getting kicked, and it isn’t the shins in this case>.
• WHERE ARE THE PICTURES? I’M LOOKING FOR PICTURES OF <some odd sexual fetish like getting excited looking at chewed on pencils with half-used erasers on the end, preferably Dixon-Ticonderoga, and no, I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT MYSELF HERE.>

So to those of you praying for me, I thank you (it can’t hurt) but I must warn you that I’m a godless heathen (i.e., not part of whatever organized religion you’re participating in.) And if you think my life is bad, you should probably donate your money or time to a local charity. (Or just sign up to get me a new iPod. 🙂 ) This is the world we live in and I’m sure it can be better.
