I had this toy when I was a single-digit-age kid. It looks kind of like a hammer or a mallet, except instead of a metal piece on the top of the “T”, it’s soft plastic, with accordian-style fold creases, such that when you hit it against a surface, it pushes air out and the toy squeaks. On my little plastic hammer toy, one side of the hitting thing was green and the other was yellow.
I bring this up because that toy is what I want to HIT YOU GUYS WITH when I go to your blogs in desperate need of entertainment and you guys haven’t updated in days, some of you in WEEKS. This trial is so painful and grueling, mostly from the defense attorney’s lack of brain cells, that the Spanish interpreter here today said to me upon my return from the restroom, “I was going to ask you whether you had gone to the restroom to kill yourself by slitting your wrists, and I wanted to ask you to leave a blade for me.”
Come on, guys. Lean your heads down. *WAP!* Squeeeeak! *WAP!* Squeeeeak!

This one hits me a little roughly because I had told him, written right there in black and white, that I’d pull him out if he got too emotionally sunken, and I had failed to do just that. I had no idea he was going through stuff until it was too late. If only I hadn’t been so busily rushing somewhere every time I saw him recently… Post #521 re the ice cream he made at my commission. Post #525 in which he left nice comments. Post #572 in which I referred to a funny thing he said. This is chilling as the joke he made was about slashing his wrists. Post #580 in which he left nice comments. Post #583 in which he left nice comments. Post #584 re resolving an issue with Mr. W in which Steve left nice comments. Post #597 in which he loaned me the movie “Iris.” Post #599 in which I reviewed the movie “Iris.” He was disappointed in the way I didn’t enjoy Iris’s character the way he had worshipped her, altho he didn’t comment on this on the post. Post #623 with a brief summary of Georgie’s situation. […]
