1. Welcome marietta_sca.

2. Line of the day, from evilnicola:

My Family: Making other families seem normal since 1987.

3. My wife's trackball just rolled across the floor, I said "mouse," and she remembered she had to feed the cat.

4. How bad is it if you ask *me* to be your tact officer? Next thing you know, I will be the Voice of Reason.

5. Have I mentioned that I am slightly overwhelmed with life, and that's why I have not posted lately?
