The Year They All Abandoned Me
Yes, quilly, it was pretty sad. But I learned to never, ever treat my friends badly because of this. Sometimes they are all we have.— May 12, 2010 7:20 p.m.

Heidi Klum's Anti-Aging Secrets
"(as opposed to now, when my insanity is limited to incompleteness)" LOL!! Anti, that is so cool!! I could never in a million years do it, but they make it look so natural. Oh, well. I fly in my dreams a lot, so I guess I'll just stick to that. SurfP, your account of your first and only experience sky-diving had me laughing so hard I was wiping tears!! "Imagine driving a 1965 Volkswagen Beetle into the sky-and that would be a as close to riding in a Cessna as you can get without actually being in one." Anyone who has ever been in a situation where you are having absolutely no fun and are scared sh*tless and cannot wait for the experience to end can relate to your story. My mom used to fly out of Amelia-Reed airport in San Jose. There was an open-cockpit bi-plane that one of the pilots there used for tricks. Well, one day he asks me if I would like to go up with him and my mom, being the protective, caring mother that she was tells me "go!! It will be fun!!" I climb into the front seat, he is the rear seat, so I cannot even see him. He proceeds to do stalls and loops and rolls and I kept my eyes shut the entire time and prayed for it to end soon. We landed and my mom comes running over to see how much fun I had. She commented that I looked kind of white and I responded by projectile vomiting.— May 12, 2010 8:51 a.m.

"I got the itch and bought a major distraction to the ’52 project. My 1959 Apache is a different story, though. Let’s just say that the Styleline has been stuck in the garage all winter and spring while I dream different dreams" I think you married guys substitute cars for women!! Tiki, your car is awesome!! When I was a kid, there was a garage down the street that my dad used to go hang out at. He worked for IBM, but he had an old 'vette and he would take it there on the weekend and tinker and drink beer with the guys. My mother wasn't always happy about it, but it was almost a primal need for my engineer dad to have a project he could call his own and buddies that shared his devotion. Sometimes we kids would stroll down there and just hang out with him and watch. He's gone now, but your story brought back some fond memories.— May 12, 2010 8:38 a.m.
Why I Love San Diego (most of the time)
Well, anti, if it makes you feel any better we had a little cold snap yesterday - I had to actually put on a sweater to go to the grocery store!! I know, I know, you had to wear a parka....we are the biggest bunch of crybabies here when it's cold. I pay for my sunshine, I want my freakin' sunshine!! As you can see I have "new camera phone infatuation". I am loving this thing!! Cowles is great. It feels really good to go up early in the morning. It stays with you all day.

Nice work, nan!! I get a cross between Hugh Laurie and Jake Gyllenhaal. http://i.ivillage.com/E/325/Celebrities/ThirtyThi… Not a bad combo. I'd take either.— May 12, 2010 8:15 a.m.
