I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Timelies, all.

Yay for a great first day, vw. Glad this one seems to be so inline with your plans.

Baby is happily sliming babysitter's face.

Hope the babysitter is equally happy to be gettin' the slimey love.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've been to Adelaide. It's very pretty. It has a cool trolley and is in the middle of wine country. Someone tries to sell you an opal on practically every street corner.

It was a very long night. The fever got up to 102. There was more thowing up. I only have a small fever now, but I've got a doctor appointment this afternoon. It was probably just some kind of flu, but it was so damn weird. I should eat something, but at the moment I'm suspicious of all food.

Trust my rage

Timelies! I'm posting fromJoe's Treo AIFG. We are in western NM w/baby and 2 dogs. So far the trip is going ok - baby is sleeping and dogs are quiet.

Dear Stephanie, in your drive, please detour around coastal Texas. (This advice may be unnecessary - my knowledge of W and S geography is bad.)

Ginger, I forgot to send you bug-killing~ma yesterday! So, I send it today to put it totally to rest. May food soon be your friend.

Stephanie, happy travels! Where are you heading to from NM?

{{ Ginger }} (keeping the hug slightly away so as not to joggle the ooky tum) Glad you're doing some better, hope the evil bug is vanquished right quick.

Safe trip, Stephanie (& Joe, Ellie, & canines).

I can't even.

I should eat something, but at the moment I'm suspicious of all food.

Start with chicken broth and work slowly more solid from there? You'll feel better from at least having the soup. Sorry about all that ook (yeah, sounds like flu). That sucks. I hope you feel brighter RSN.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So how do you politely say, "I know that money problems are relative to the person having them, but considering I frequently have to put off a utility bill to buy diapers and formula, I would appreciate you not bitching about a) how much you are spending on your $45k wedding and b) how much the inspection for your $35k BMW SUV is."

Stop taking the calls?

Oh, wait that's just me. Social advice is probably not my forte, because that's what I do. And then I wonder why I have no friends!

Ah well. I like the quiet.

The last time someone annoyed me that way (a very good friend, actually) I threw a Bitchism at her. All she could complain about was that the car she and her DH were looking to buy didn't have cup holders and OMG, they couldn't buy the car if it didn't have THOSE! So, I looked at her as straight faced as I could and said, "So what you're saying is that your diamond shoes are too tight." She looked at me for a second and then started just laughing like a loon. Now, whenever one of us pulls a first world bitch we use the phrase "cupholder" to pull ourselves out.
