What is "giving a rip"? Rip? huh? Now, in looking it up, I've learned a new acronym - DILLIGAR (do I look like I give a rip?). I'm not sure that would work well in texting or email because of the "look" part, maybe it would have to be IDGAR, or make it IDGAS. Is this common and I'm just discovering it?
This last week, I've been inappropriately telling people how I feel 'off' and can't explain it. They looked at me strangely as you expect they would. One attempt at it was allergies since the air has been hazy, then it became emotional allergies, then it became neurotransmitter allergies. I was discussing this weirdness with Beth and CC in the parking lot after dinner last night. Beth suggests, rather out of the blue in a way, that I might be supersensitive to plate tectonics and a big earthquake is coming.

Also, for the first couple seconds, I thought the movie was vibrating my seat as it tended to throughout due to loudness. Dammit, Jim! I'm a midwesterner, not a .... oh, I dunno. Gotta be something there. I'll work on that. Guess what movie I was in...
Speaking of, I've been compiling this very useful list, which I'm sure the Universe will obey --
Places I Don't Want to Be in a Big Earthquake:
- In the shower
- Changing clothes anywhere
- On the commode
- Waiting at a stoplight under an overpass
- In an elevator
- California
This is it so far.
