Hers is a dressed up gift tuck box, where you put gifts and stuff in and send it to someone.

wait, so you pay $4500 for the box, THEN buy gifts to put in it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's how it looks.

The web site should be up soon and I'll need to look at it in more detail. She says 18"x18"x18". My mind boggles. I mean, it's pretty, and it's cool, but...dude.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, I have some birth control pills that expired a few months ago. Do they still work? I realize the official answer is no, don't take them, but I'm wondering what I can get away with.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers build in a safety margin because of PEOPLE LIKE JESSE people who keep drugs forever and then decide to take them. If it were any other drug, I'd say they're good for at least 6 months after the exp. date.

But with BCPs -- the thing with expiration dates is that the drug will become less effective. And that isn't a good thing to mess around with when it comes to BCPs. You know?

They're probably fine, but I don't want to be responsible for a bouncing baby Jesse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know, I know. I just thought I had another week or two to get my shit together. Alas. I have two of the packs, how about if I just take two at a time? They're low-dose!

Kidding. Kind of.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Fay, does one send an entire tuck box, or is it something you have with you at school and fill at will?

I wish I knew the answer to this, but the closest I came to bording school was reading Elinor Brent-Dyer books, and my memory of those is hazy. I'm going to guess, though, that you take the tuck box to school with you, crammed with lashings of delicious grub, and then as one gradually empties it, one's loving mater and pater gradually send more ripping treats. Possibly. But I'm just guessing.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - “Monster mice” are eating much larger albatross chicks alive, threatening rare bird species on a remote South Atlantic island seen as the world’s most important seabird colony.

I desperately want to believe that this is a hoax.

So I got summonsed a month ago for jury duty in Feb., and I just realized I haven't sent back the card yet. It says "Very Important: you must return this card within 10 days" but there's no information as to what will actually happen if you don't. Will I be fined? Arrested? Eaten by giant mice?

I guess if you have $4.5k just lying around, it's not about a lack of sense, but rather a surfeit of money.

I just can't imagine it, though.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think the official recommendation is 20 mg/day, but there are plenty of studies about a 40-mg/day dose where the subjects didn't have anything awful happen.

Hmmm. I'm on 20 and was wanting to ask if I could go higher, but all in all I think I'd just as soon go back to Celexa anyway. How high can you go on that, for curiosity's sake? I think I had 40mg when I switched over.

Mmm. Fay said lashings. Not to mention ripping.

And I totally don't mean porn.
