"Yes, I peed, but now I have to go again.
Always in the five minutes between classes as I'm wolfing down an apple. (which I am right now)
I'll pee right before a long critique.
Bleck!
Please get some sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
tart apple hugs,
c"
That is verbatim what I sent the unsuspecting student, but of COURSE it was a reply meant for a different email to a friend, and no I don't make it a habit of discussing my every bladder habit. Taken out of context it is freaky and just a tad disturbing.
This is what you get for trying to respond to emails, eat lunch, prepare demos, and talk to students all at the same time in the rushed 10 minutes between classes. (I also blame it on being over 40 and apparently losing any sort of ability to access orderly brain functions)
My friend "J" thought I should share the story, and since I haven't finished my patio..... this is what you get!
Note to self: Leave bodily functions out of all future correspondence.
AND.......because I can't manage to post without pictures... a doozy I've had in the wings for months. The steroidal "weed".
This gem sprouted and grew on my back patio (without any supplemental water) to well over 8 ft, all in the three months I was gone for the summer REALLY.
It isn't a tree, and it isn't bamboo, but it is surely a desert dweller as evidenced by the vicious spines. Lacking the proper machete and hand protection I have yet to chop it down. But, in truth I'm kind of intrigued to see what it does.
If you know what the weed is, OR if you have similarly humiliated yourself (Crazy won't let me down on this one) please do share.

I laughed right out loud. That was too funny. Unfortunately a sad but true statement about being over 40. I recently sent birthday invites accidently to Spencer's former soccer coach. His name first name is Dave same as Dennis' brother. Then proceeded to send him another 'family' e-mail again later. I finally just deleted him from my address list. I'm sure he thought I was a loon. Although I did not talk about any bodily functions with him. It could only happen to you!
Those are scary spikes on that "weed'. Never seen anything like it here naturally.
That story rocks! Not as much as the strangling story but it's up there;)
I dig your weed. It looks really cool all leafed out. I do wonder if it will grow back, weeds are so hardy. I wish some plants where more like that!
When, or are you coming back for Christmas? I have a book you might like.
Holy crap! I think I laughed for about 5 minutes straight. That story was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Ok, I'm laughing right now. That is awesome
Seriously, I can't imagine the story that tops this one. Days later, I was still giggling!
