Today I learned that the top from a 7 oz. jar of Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme will fit a 28 oz. jar of Jif Peanut Butter, and vice-versa.

SIX, SIX NEW THINGS! [/The Count]

1) I'm ugly
2) I'm old
3) I'm stupid
4) My feelings about my own life are off base and silly
5) I can't be trusted to understand so it's easier to dismiss me
6) I am tolerated like a bad cat

Six things I knew or remembered about Infi today:

Quote:
1) She's beautiful inside and out
2) She's old enough to be a cougar but young enough to snare a weird old millionaire
3) She's bloody smart
4) She is self aware but too hard on herself
5) She has a huge presence here on the Cellar and her contribution is important
6) She is loved and treasured, even when she needs to be cuffed like a bad cat for not loving herself like we do.

Thanks Sundae.

I don't deserve the kind words. I'm really having trouble snapping out of this ongoing depression/anxiety. I have an appointment to get some bloodwork done. I just feel pretty worthless to everyone right now.

Sorry, you. Sorry everyone. I'm such a noodge.

She's smart, she's funny, she's got huge...tracts of land (paraphrasing)

Be thankful you're not "[You] fat and ugly and got no friends." That was the worst thing that could befall a person when we were kids.

2) I'm old -- not compared to me you're not.
3) I'm stupid -- only compared to mercy and UG (just ask them).
4) My feelings about my own life are off base and silly -- only if you believe that crap in your original list.
5) I can't be trusted to understand so it's easier to dismiss me -- trust is something that can only be given, it can't be taken. If others don't trust you, that's their issue, not yours. People are free to make their own conclusions, including mistaken ones.
6) I am tolerated like a bad cat -- because you're both irresistible.
clarified that for you....

Here endeth the sermon.

I don't even know why, but I love you like the sister I never had.

This is the most remarkable metaphor I have encountered in years.

A hot noodge. I would wreck that.

Golly. You can't know what all that means to me.

OK, enough. This pity party is over. However, we are having beers with Obama in Nothingland. See footfootfoot for beer tickets.

I learned what a demiurge is.

Look it up for yourself, slacker.
