But in this situation isn't "headlines' used with double meanings? Not trying to argue, just trying to understand.

Gah! Stupid T sent me a stupid song he wanted me to listen to.. And it made me cry. We are exploring ways to help me forgive myself and feel better about myself.

Oh, no, it's funny, I just don't think it's a pun, because headlines has only one meaning in English. We could have a vote...

The eight year old is three way calling with some of her classmates. They're talking about their crushes. Cracking me up.

Deciding... Do I make the effort to have a spa night or do I just sit and cry and do nothing. Game is in a rain delay so not watching ball.

Darn rain delay... I'd go with crying, but I manage it so rarely it feels nice to me. I did cry a little this afternoon...

I can't really cry anymore. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Now I can't stop thinking about all the other possible 'lines' after 45 minutes in the chair ...
Thanks for this!

My T likes leather, and glass... I love the guy but I do not share his taste in interior decor.

I don't mind corduroy. The woman has a horrible couch, but it is not because of the cloth.

Corduroy pants might cause me to spontaneously combust. Friction is not my friend. Good title EM!
