…burn down the building…
I lived in Iowa for two years. That’s where I adopted “Will I Make It Through the 80s” as my anthem of angst.
Ageing, damn it, not aging.

Hope you are feeling better today twickster. Hey! I forgot that as you get older, you will be losing the fat layer under your skin. Instant free weight loss! 
In the interest of fairness – hm, wait, I don’t think I’m actually interested in fairness – well, I guess I’m interested in the appearance of fairness…
Took today off as the first day in a four-day weekend to celebrate my birthday; woke up to a spur-of-the-moment invitation to brunch from a friend, who proceded to entertain me mightily with tales of his hijinks (and who also gave me a very gentle but very much needed pep talk about the need to get off my ass about the changes I need to make in my life); went and ran a couple of errands, including buying gas, which could have waited till tomorrow, but what the heck, I was out – got to the station as they were in the process of raising the price 12 cents a gallon, but filled up at the old price; came home and went to throw a couple of empty soda cans from the car into my neighbor’s recycling bucket, which was still by the curb because somehow they skipped the pickup on this block three days ago – and in said bucket found a whole bunch of glass vases she was throwing out, some of which were ugly but two of which were well worth trash-picking (I have a ridiculous collection of glass vases). And now I’m sitting here with my cat purring on my lap and nothing in particular to do till my friend comes to pick me up and take me out to dinner and to see “Stomp” for my birthday.
Plus the sun is out.
Yanno, it’s really hard holding on to an evil mood under these circumstances…
Hey, Twickster! Glad that you’ve ceased beating yourself up. We’ve met a couple o’ times, and I think you are wonderful! And if I weren’t married…
Gauchos, forever!
As long as you’re stuck under a purring cat, you might as well kill some time with computer monitor maintenance.

I don’t know if this will help you any, but I have been sober for three days because of your post reagrding your 20th anniverary.
Thanks
brownie55 – that’s extremely cool – good luck with it. If you need someone to talk to, my email address is in my profile.
TwoTrouts – smooch – thanks! Sorry you missed Dope the Halls – but FairyChatMom and I are talking about trying to come up with a good excursion for this winter – I hope you and the lovely Mrs. Trouts (who’s way too nice for me to consider a rival, dammit) will be able to make that.
AskNott – heh. And Elvis says :dubious: .
Pretty cool Brownie! Keep it up! 
Ah, twin, I’ m one who can honestly say I feel your pain. The weight, the age, the lack of action, even the toothache(although I haven’t had a filling come out) Tell you what, tomorrow night we’ll toast each other at midnight. I’m having a mini-Fest hear, with some other Dopers and such, I’ll raise my glass and say “TO TWICKSTER!!!”
It’s a deal! And Happy Birthday!
Remember to flash a stranger! Tomorrow is Flash Your Tits To A Stranger Day.
What, and you’re coming to Philly to take the measurements yourself? 
You got a real purdy mouth.
**Twickster **and Baker, you are cordially invited
