A co-worker sent me this yesterday and it just cracked me up:
Some people are like Slinkies …
Not really good for anything,
But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Hope you’re having a good weekend! 🙂
I’m sitting in my office crying. Thankfully the door’s shut and there’s no one standing outside knocking at the moment, because if they were, they’d have to figure out just why the hell I’m sitting in my office with tears rolling down my face and I don’t think I could even tell them. This is…
Pin So, what do we do? We can definitely take advantage of the suggestions made by Lindsey Holmes in that HuffPost link above.

Pin As a survivor, the question of how to appropriately mark Mother’s and Father’s day is always a bit tricky.
