Yeah, so the lo-o-o-ong post is still in critical condition awaiting surgery that's going to take the better part of an hour to remove all of the little ¤ -style squares that are in between each friggin' letter of each friggin' word of the entire friggin' first 3/4 of the entire friggin' entry.

Not that I find this annoying in the least.  Not at all.  More of a Challenge, that's all.

Nevertheless, here are some completely out of context comments and reflections from the holidays that won't make much of any sense until I get that blasted overly friggin' long entry cleaned up.  (And, yes, I've tried saving it as plain ASCII text and, yes, when I've tried to import friggin' plain ASCII text into any one of FOUR LJ entry methods on two computer platforms the text  has either disappeared with the exception of a lone "<" or h?a?s? ?a? ?f?r?i?g?g?i?n?' ?q?u?e?s?t?i?o?n? ?m?a?r?k? ¤o¤r a¤ ¤f¤r¤i¤g¤g¤i¤n¤' ¤s¤q¤a¤r¤e¤ AND ?i?s? ?i?n? ?i?t?a?l?i?c?s? ?j?u?s?t? ?t?o? ?m?a?k?e? ?i?t? ?e?v?e?n? ?m?o?r?e? ?i?l?l?e?g?i?b?l?e? 

It would be nice if the friggin' entry would clear itself out, but...
Now then, where was I?  Oh, yes.  Making next to no sense at all.

To continue:

My favorite quote from my daughter: "At least you're a happy drunk.  It could have been worse -- You could have been all maudalin, crying and saying, "Aw, man, I really love you guys."

Guess which Little Britian character I'm going to be searching for next Christmas?  Is it Anne?  Vicky? Andy? (Trust me, Rob, mine is better) Ray?

Speaking of which: I managed to completely embarass myself on Chirstmas by not getting an answering machine.  I mean, honestly, how can one expect to go through with a well-written and rehearsed script when there's a live audience at the other end of the phone.  Honestly.

Like the image above?  So do I.  That is, presuming you said, "yes."  If not, then we'll simply have to agree to disagree.  I'm stuck with having to do extensive playing with post-camera digital editing on smaller images for a while.  Luckily this one turned out pretty well.

Oh, and another image goes out to the first person who can accurately cite the proper (in my life) reference to the subject line -- without googling the phrase.
