Happy Birthday Kathy! Note the lack of 39 jokes.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is there an official chart someplace?
I think if you put that on the To Do list in Building, ita will get right on it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Birthday Happies to Kathy and Raquel!
If you guys hadn't been talking about Friday, I wouldn't have realized that Easter is this weekend. Somehow, I'm always in tech on Easter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wanna be the tallest.
That'd be easy. We just need to figure out how big a box you need to stand on.
Gus is tallest. Who's second-tallest? Is it 6' 3" me? I was thinking there was someone else taller than me besides Gus.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, well, doncha know, Scott McClelland was asked about it yesterday and he pooh-poohed the whole thing. Because, you see, that was a WHOLE OTHER BILL that actually created a whole mighty wall of additional protections for the patients, and the issues at hand could not possibly be more different, handwavey handwavey, hey, check out that herd of thundering flabotanum!
If that distraught mother in Houston could just try to follow the talking points, she'd understand.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What I don't get is, ok, she had 10 days to find another facility to put the baby. How could other hospitals turn her away? Her baby needed that ventilator - it was a matter of life or death - how could they legally turn her and her son away? Does the new law negate the law that says noone can be turned away from a hospital? I mean, what the hell? And, doesn't that law sort of negate the Hippocratic oath?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Talking points. Grrr.
I am neither tallest nor shortest by a fair clip. I am uniquely typical that way.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Thanks for the good wishes, everyone! And, yes, I am appreciating the avoidance of "39" jokes, even though I probably deserve it--when my mom turned 39, the sibs and I pooled our money for a "Happy Ad" in the local paper, wishing her a "Happy Birthday, Mom! (For the how many-th time?)," or something like that. She got kidded about it at work for weeks.
