I'll post the photos later.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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

As to inappropriateness of sharing the URL with an employer - Bitch PHD has interesting take on that:
Et. Al has a more extended take on the subject:

Oooh, that teastick is prettier than the nifty spoon thing my mom had. It was two pinholed spoon heads that clamped together, the handle being a spring thing. It was fun to play with.

If I only had a brain...
This is what I did, what I saw, and how I feel about it. It's candid and confessional in nature.
The thing is, Allyson, you have a sense of proportion. You notice when you're being ridiculous.
Your writing comes across as "Well, this seemed like a good idea at the time" rather than "Everybody's MEAN to POOR LITTLE ME!" or "I don't understand why everybody can't see things the way I do!" You don't assume that everybody else you meet is just a walk-on in the wide-screen release of THE STORY OF ALLYSON.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had that spoon. Too often it clamped shut on the leaves and was all leaky.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I had my 6 month-or-so followup mammogram today. Everything's normal. Yay!

By the time I was mature enough to have memory of the spoon, mom had stopped using loose leaf tea.
The problem with cherries is that I will buy 2 lbs when they are on sale for an incredible $2.50/lb and I will like them so much that I will buy another 2 lbs when they are an appalling $5.50/lb. Ah, well at least I'm employed and can support my habit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We had one of those spoons, and a tea ball. But we never had loose tea around.
I have new glasses, and everything is really! sharp! It's giving me a bit of a headache.

Compressed air works really well for not itching mosquito bites while waiting for the anti-itch stuff to start working.
