Thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who wrote with the fix for my screwed up archive page. Not sure how it happened, but somehow the page got totally fragged and corrupted, and everyone who responded basically told me the same fix (and some of you were kind enough to actually redo it for me! Thanks!!) So, thanks to Jon Hansen, John Savage, Melanie Fletcher, Kat Youatt, Ron Collins, and James Eggebeen for directing me to the path of html enlightenment!

And, the above-mentioned Kat was also the 50,505th person to visit my journal, and so she gets the way-cool nifty prize package that I have reserved for that lucky person!. (Kat is also, by the way, directly responsible for me getting serious about my writing. Marvelous woman, she is!)

Nikki made a comment in her journal about what it would be like to be the opposite sex.

I like being a woman. It's cool. It's nifty. (Though if I hear that inane Shania Twain song one more time I think I'll scream. God, I hate that song!)

There's only one thing I envy about guys.

I wish I could pee standing up.

Okay, actually I can pee standing up--it's just really messy. I wish I had the ability that guys do of being able to take a whiz without taking off half of their clothing. I wish I could just pull over to the side of the road and let it fly in the middle of the highway. I wish I didn't have to find a clean bathroom with a clean floor with enough room to take off all of my duty gear every time I need to pee when I'm on duty. I wish I didn't end up holding it for 6-8 hours, simply because there isn't time between calls to get back to the station (or some other rare place that I've found that is suitable for my needs.) I wish I didn't have to worry about getting into a fight at some point when I have a full bladder.

Only thing I envy about the guys.
