*looks at group rules*

no, nothing there about welcoming people.

welcome to TC, esme.

[[deleted user]]

thanks :)

[Sally, la reina]

I like the name Esme. It was my alternative to Leah. Matt's was Anna.

[[deleted user]]

thanks. idk, my name sounds too oldern for me, but whatevs, right?

[Jonathan]

It is a nice name. I have a friend called Esmee (although she spells it a little differently). The old-fashioned sound of it is maybe part of its charm.

[Sally, la reina]

I had a student named Ayla. I thought that was too recent/modern sounding. I like names that sound classic.

[Jonathan]

Ayla is a new one for me.

[Sally, la reina]

Exactly.

[Jonathan]

That's funny, Myles. I never would have made that connection.

i guess. i always thought esme was supposed to be spelled with two ee's, because everyone always spells it that way.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Esme makes me think of the J.D. Salinger story For Esmé – with Love and Squalor.

oh, i read that. thanks for not saying Esme from the series of unfortunate events. she was a freak, it annoys me when people compare me to her.

My bad, late to the job as usual, Welcome to TC Esme.

thanks :)

But she was named after the Salinger Esme. Her last name was Squalor. Also, she called everyone a cake-sniffer, which I thought was a pretty funny insult.

Welcome to TC, Esme.

[[deleted user]]

thanks. yeah, i think cakesniffer is funny too. my neighbor's daughter was reading those and named her dog cakesniffer. i have no idea why.

[Cynthia]

Right now my eyes are tired of tears. I had to put my beloved mutt Grace to sleep this afternoon. The vets could not have been nicer to me or gentler to Grace. She was 16 or so (shelter dog, she'd lived a lot before coming to my door.) She was part Border Collie, part something bigger and the smartest dog I've ever had.

[Félix]

So sorry, Cynthia.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

How awful, Cynthia! Poor Grace.

[Cynthia]

Thanks, LG and Larry.

[Jammies]

Cynthia, I am so so sorry. *hug*

[ms.petra]

so very sorry, Cynthia. RIP Grace.

[[deleted user]]

Oh Cynthia I am so sorry. ::hugs::

[Jonathan]

Cynthia, I'm so sorry to hear about Grace.

[Jim]

Sorry for your loss Cynthia.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

On a conference call with Rahm Emanuel. "If I'm elected mayor, I will take public transportation on a periodic basis." Wow, way to commit to the people!

[Sarah]

Cynthia, I'm sorry to hear about your dog. That's such a hard thing to go through.

[Janice]

Aww - so very sorry Cynthia.

[Sally, la reina]

Oh Cynthia...how awful. Your little friend finally feels better. Awww.

[janine]

i'm sorry to hear about your dog, cynthia.

[Cynthia]

Thanks everyone.

[Carol]

Cynthia - I'm sorry you had to lose Grace. Hugs to you.

[Brittomart]

Sorry about your dog, cynthia!

Right now I'm reading through old TC posts and...yeah.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Looking for tv footage of myself in the voting booth online.

[Jonathan]

Was today the Chicago mayoral vote?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I helpfully positioned myself as close to the tv cameras as possible.

[Jonathan]

Richard Daley isn't on the ballot this time.

...so I assume he'll win by a landslide, right?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh so cynical. Rahm E. will win, the only question is whether he'll win outright tonight (needs 50% of vote) or, if he gets less than 50%, it goes to a runoff with the top two candidates, in April.

[Kevin]

right now i am still a little honked about someone breaking into my truck last night and stealing my XM radio. they didn't actually break in because i leave it unlocked all the time with the keys in it but this was in my drive way. they ripped out my XM controller module leaving wires and a broken mounting bracket, rifled through my console (which contained nothing except shotgun shells, wrenches and bath and body works lotion) and then went through my son's car too. just threw things around in there. you could see the tracks in the snow where they stopped in the road in front of the house, walked to each car and went through them. they left my $200 binocs on the seat. dumb ass. anyway, i am most mad about having to listen to reg FM radio...

[Jonathan]

Sorry to hear it Kevin. That really sucks. At least they didn't steal your truck, though.

[Jonathan]

Lobstergirl, it looks like you did make it onto the evening news:

[Kevin]

thanks. more about the frustration of someone invading your security than anything.

[Jonathan]

Yeah, especially right outside the house like that.

That's not me. It's someone else.

[Brittomart]

Wow, Kevin. I didn't know people still stole radios.

[Jammies]

Kevin, I'm sorry.
