Although also handy in certain situations. If commentator Susan at Reading Upside Down suffered from narcolepsy, for example, she could've just ignored her relatives last week by pretending to go to sleep until that misery ended. Or what must have been JD's incredibly bored boyfriend (girlfriend?) could've dozed off while she (he?) watched The Notebook and sobbed. Or, you could claim that you were perfectly normal until the accident and now you have incurable narcolepsy and need a multimillion dollar settlement to enjoy life. So maybe narcolepsy's not the worst third problem to have. Maybe it's something else, like being longwinded. People often tell me that's a HUGE problem, but I'm not sure why.MikeWJ / Too Many Morningshttp://www.toomanymornings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-6992834888202359382009-06-22T12:52:06.428-04:002009-06-22T12:52:06.428-04:00A Will Ferrell movie marathon.A Will Ferrell movie marathon.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794712479594188124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-51702072245428152532009-06-22T12:35:43.081-04:002009-06-22T12:35:43.081-04:00Thanks for the Biodome attribution, I think....

Much better acting in this one. (Shouldn't have admitted I'm watching that--it's brain candy.)<br /><br />The Netflix thing would be a real nightmare.

Old Wives misery #3? I think I may have already experienced that on your behalf. Last week I was trapped for almost 2 hours in my parents' sunroom with my parents, two sisters, 7 year old nephew and my own children (ages 5, 8 and 10). The room is cramped at the best of times. It was standing room only.<br /><br />My parents were having their house re-wired, so there were workmen in the other rooms of the house and we couldn't even make a cup of coffee to get us through the afternoon. We just got to spend a "delightful" afternoon together that served as a reminder of just why it was that I moved out of home in the first place.<br /><br />Of course, your Old Wives misery #3 could be discovering that you have been nominated as part of a US/Australian exchange program and my family will be your host family.Susan Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253437044745874795noreply@blogger.com
