Great answer!

How about you, Susan?"

James & The Giant Peach. I rather like 4th grade, too. Good books at that age.

Oh, for sure. I'd like to meet Mr. BeaversDon'tEatFish (and give him a good talking to about time-keeping)... and I love Roald Dahl. Or at least, I love his stories. Not so sure about the man himself.

Good luck with my clients. You'll probably do a better job tbh.

I have those same feelings of falling off of/out off seated positions. I don't understand it - but it's very unnerving.

It's funny at one point my t asked what I thought was the function of the part and I really wanted to say to punish and hate me but all got was multiple "protect" I was supposed to try thanking him when I got home and needed to punish myself but I just couldn't I ate that cake instead. I feel like failure.

No wonder it's cold it's 13 degC here. I will swap any heatwaves you have, you can even combine them if you like

lucozader · Jun 19, 2017, 04:26 PM

Erm, guys... Facebook is showing me targeted ads for flamingo dresses. That's pretty creepy.

I don't think you'd want to combine heat. It'd be unlivable. Which reminds me of a prank forecast from a few years ago in the area. Watch if you want a laugh:

They made a twilight zone episode or something outta that. Also The Man from the South, with Steve McQueen. Also oooh the one with the earwig, it had Laurence Harvey

in it. Dahl was truly creepy.

Oh hell yeah. They sound special.

I am trying to write an 'In Session' post but it sure is hard work.

I have previously been known to spend all day writing them...

I should probably just go to bed instead.
