lori!
Theo, sorry, I have no idea. But lots of health-vibes for you.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Hi Nilly! I've been catching up in here before my meeting, but now I have to run. Good to see you!

What is even happening?
Robin, your tales of shopping from upthread reminded me that I bought these AWESOME fancy high-heeled black satiny maryjane-ish shoes this weekend that I am in LOVE with. I'm trying to decide if I can justify bringing them with me to Germany. They're not good for walking long distances, and I'm going to be doing a lot of exploring, is the thing. But they're so pretty! AND they were only $25 at a sweet little vintage store in town that I'd never been into before. I love them so.
Justify? I'd like to see you justify not bringing them, Kate. You're young, gorgeous, and going to be in Europe, and you're considering leaving your AWESOME fancy high-heeled black satiny maryjane-ish shoes behind? How does this demonstrate preparedness?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Let me validate that, Kate. Good shoes are a necessity in Europe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wait -- maybe she shouldn't take the shoes, so she's forced into buying new good shoes.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I love you both. The shoes are going!
edit: oh, but ita makes a good point. But I almost never buy shoes, so I doubt I will be overly tempted, having just bought these.

This is an excellent theory, though I don't think Kate has a lot of shoe-buying budget right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A NEW chilli sauce goes on sale today that is so hot it could KILL:
Ultra-concentrated “16 Million Reserve” is the hottest science can make.
The sauce is 30 times hotter than the spiciest pepper and 8,000 times more fiery than Tabasco.
Diners must sign a disclaimer recommending “protective gloves and eye wear” — but even sweating testers in safety gear were blinded by tears for 30 minutes.
Just 999 bottles of it are on sale at £105 each.
Medical experts fear it could kill asthmatics or hospitalise a user who touches a sensitive part of the body afterwards.
It is made of pure capsaicin, the chemical that makes peppers “hot”. It takes tons of peppers to make 1lb of capsaicin.
Creator Blair Lazar, 35, specialises in “extreme food” in New Jersey, US.
After trying it, he said: “It’s like having your tongue hit with a hammer. Man, it hurt.”
The sauce is named after its score on the chilli heat measure, the Scoville Unit.
Reserve scores 16 million units, while a Red Savina, the world’s spiciest pepper, measures just 570,000.
