Dana, evacuate if you can. If you evacuate for nothing, oh well.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Okay. I'm heading out to buy comics and beer, and I'm already worried because I noticed that I have a tire going soft, but I'm keeping my cell phone on, and there better not be any disasters while I'm gone!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Crap. My sister and my niece live in Houston. Cypress to be specific.
ND, that's exactly where my brother and his family (wife, 2 kids) are, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Google saves infant from unnecessary transfusion
Howard and Melissa of Boca Raton, Florida found out first hand that the Internet can be a powerful tool for parents. A few weeks after they brought their premature twins, Andrew and Carly, home from the hospital Andrew had to be admitted to the ER. The doctors told them that the baby had a serious problem, that his hemoglobin levels had dropped from 14 (at birth) to 7. The doctors wanted to do an emergency blood transfusion immediately. Using his cell phone, Howard used Google to search for “hemoglobin” and “premature infant.” The results were surprising. He found a medical journal article which said that it’s normal for preemie twins to have a drop in their hemoglobin levels during the first three months.
Howard gave the link to the doctors, and they spent a few hours researching it. When they returned, they “sheepishly admitted that our son was indeed fine - no treatment was necessary…Google literally saved our newborn son from having to endure an extremely dangerous, and totally unnecessary, blood transfusion.”

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Gud!
I made your dirt cake recipe for a pot-luck thing we had at school today (granted with banana pudding instead of vanilla. I don't want to talk about it). It was a big hit.
Safe-ma to Dana and everyone in Rita's path

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oy. I know I'm not well. I woke up sick early this morning. My arms are trembling. I know my PT has told me not to do krav. My ass is five shades of bruised from the session yesterday. I haven't eaten enough calories yet.
WHY IN GOD'S NAME AM I WAFFLING ABOUT CALLING IN SICK TO KRAV? Sure, it's the first time I'll have called in sick for the class I run, and sure, I wasn't there last week, but I guess I'm just that dumb.
The sooner I call, the better it'll be for them. And I have to call, because I can neither teach nor train.
Yup, that dumb.

CALL IN SICK OR I WILL DO IT FOR YOU.
