'Harm's Way'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Congrats, Cashmere! Happy birthday, Olivia Rose!
I have no comment on head injuries, other than the fact that my old boss was previously the manager of a group home for people with brain injuries, which was the source of most of her best stories, as well as (I assume) her most annoying trait: every so often she'd tell you something Really Slowly And Clearly To Make Sure You Understood, as if you had a brain injury.
It's kind of weird IMing with someone two cubes over. But I do know his LOLs are literal. That's some comfort.
Chappelle to explain himself to Oprah.
Ooh! The babysitting has begun? How cool. Alibelle's a magic fit.
She's great, it's true. They watched a princess video.
In one of my first jobs in LA, I worked for a Case Manager who worked with a lot of TBI patients. Lots of good stories which were a result of TBI resulting in a lack of impulse control.
I need to call Alibelle this week. Gr.
Fuckity. Em has thrown up twice in the last hour. Not good.
My favorite was when people would start freaking out at work, and she'd start with, "This is not an emergency. An emergency is a resident who got on some random bus and doesn't know how to get home. An emergency is a resident up on the roof. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FUNDRAISING EMERGENCY."
Aimee, I'm sorry. Stomach flu sucks. Poor little Em.
She doesn't have any other symptoms, though. And she's running around, playing. Joe's taking her to the doctor at 5:15.
[insert working mother's guilt here]
Hey, she has a parent with her. That's the important thing. Well, that and her getting well.
