I actually remembered to cut and paste, and thus present a full-sized meara:

web page for my favorite local soft cheese place.

I love that place, beth. My dad’s company used to have their picnics there, and I try to visit each time I come to CA. It seems like their pond is shrinking a bit, though. I would have thought that it was a function of me getting older, but I really think it’s the encroaching water plants.

Once again, Steph is me. I have three pairs of glasses just in case the regular pair... I don't know, explodes or something. Along with my contacts. Civilization could collapse, and I'd need them. My visual field is about six inches. I'd never survive in the wild.

Once again, Zenkitty is me, and apparently Teppy too.

But you have to basically make her wear a velcro suit and stick things on to her body to keep her from losing them. She's like the most absent minded professor parody you've ever seen.

And apparently JZ is me too. Score!

I really must look for my keys that have been missing for two weeks.

It's awesomely awesome, so soft and cozy and perfectly suited to me. And that's not all, vw put in a bonus comfort shawl (how does she do it?) in gorgeous colors and soft and warm. I've been bundled up in both of them all morning. They even smell good.

That’s so gorgeous, -t! What a wonderful job, vw! I absolutely love the colors in the shawl. What yarn did you use? It looks kind of like Homespun, which I love, but I can’t quite tell. Also, do you have a pattern?

But 3 weeks of moderate sinus headaches are enough to do me in. They WILL NOT GO AWAY. I've taken a full 10 days of Augmentin and it hasn't gone away.

I’m on day 16 of Levoquin (working on my second 14 day course). I wonder if memory loss is a side affect, because my brain just. won’t. work. And neti pots just don’t seem to do anything for me.

Ohhhh, me too. Can I just abdicate from my life and float around as a professional buffista?

Me three!

fire bad. tree pretty. beer foamy.

The last two weeks. Bleh.

The wife of one of the librarians here delivered a healthy baby boy this morning, and mama is doing well.

What I'm actually thinking: His paternity leave is really going to screw up my work schedule.

Sorry!!!

The smaller a baby is, it seems, the "cuter" it appears to those women.

Ewww. Small babies can be healthy, but to even take a risk of endangering your child over something like image is just, well, ewww.

I'm no expert on pregnancy and weight gain therein. But even I know that dieting during the last two months is insane. And those people are allowed to reproduce?

Feel better, Hec.

Feel better, vw.

I feel that if other people can tell me that I must have a baby, I should be able to tell other people that they are not allowed to.

Huh. What is this, Munchausen's for the unmotivated?

Libkitty, I'm having mild-to-moderate side effects from just 5 days of Levaquin (the jaw pain I've been mentioning lately). Not everyone experiences side effects from any given medication, but I've read a LOT about Levaquin in the past 4-5 days, and if you don't feel right while taking it, PLEASE stop taking it and ask for an antibiotic that isn't a quinolone.

Choking, snorting, laughter is inappropriate, right?

Deeply. You should be ashamed of yourself.

As only a sexually insatiable female moron can.

someone's been reading Salon...

had a friend deliver this afternoon. Idiot woman refused to eat the last 2 months cause she didn't want to gain weight - no doubt from her husbnd calling her "fat" all the time - 40+ weeks and he was 5 pounds. FIVE POUNDS

And this is a FRIEND? Good christ.

Of course, I'm not good with the dieting in any case, but when pregnant I can't even imagine having any willpower. I fear if I ever get pregnant I"ll gain like, 60 pounds.
