Mary is constantly seen leaving and returning to her home, but with a frequency and such short “away-times” that these trips wouldn’t be conducive to the idea of her going to a job everyday. After this was observed, the idea of her collecting disability and/or unemployment payments was brought up. Drug-funds were also discussed, http://2171collegestreet.blogspot.com/2008/10/crazy-mary-update-1023.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (N.)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206178778940324175.post-7504905974940203977Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:03:00 +00002008-10-23T08:40:20.050-05:00Please, feel free to click on these photos at you leisure, and experience them at their true, 1200 resolution beauty.

Wednesday nights and the weekend. The larger wave of the two is most definitely the weekend.

Sometime that morning, I stumbled groggily toward the scent of coffee, and the first thing that caught my eye was this lovely addition to our [Neal's] ever-growing plant collection. This was all his and Robin's doing, but I just had to show it off.
