The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Maybe you should start shouting "Blucher" at whenever you pass her door, and see what happens.

I feel your pain, Teppy. Levaquin is also teh suck. I just keep trying to shovel in more yogurt, but that's getting old.

eta: Just in case anyone was wondering, I'm suffering through too long hair for a few more days, and not being a big meanie to my stylist. I'm just not happy about it. I guess that means I'm not a good person, I'm just ok. t /pathetic, tenuous Firefly reference

Now tagless for your comfort.

She look like this?

Yes, actually.

Owen just barfed all over Christopher. And himself. And the laundry room floor (of all the places in the house, this is the place to do it).

So. Fucking. Gross.

They're both in the tub cleaning up now. I have no idea if this is a virus or what. What should I be giving him to drink now? Juice has too much sugar and I'm not sure about milk. Just water? Or should I send Christopher out for pedialyte?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I can barely keep myself alive. How do I know how to keep a smaller version going? Though experience has taught me that the balance of sugar, salts and electrolytes in Pedialyte is rocking.

I just inhaled beer. Shit hurts. I am showering, getting more beer and continuing to clean the kitchen floor with Bubbles of Scrub. Clinton had it right though, don't inhale man.

Hey, he has a long and colorful history in my fair city. For real. He was on City Council back in the day ("the day" being the 1970s) and got busted for patronizing a hooker. HOW did he get busted, you ask? He paid with a check. No, seriously. You can look it up. So he resigned. And then, a few years later, was re-elected. As mayor. Seriously

Well MY former mayor got busted with a hooker AND COKE, and got reelected! He's still serving on the city council!! t /mayor smackdown

I had a boyfriend who was verbally abusive. Actually abusive. And it wasn't the obvious thing to walk away

Yeah, I can see how it would be a hell of a lot more...confusing? for it to not be physical. Like, I can easily say "You hit me, I'm the fuck OUTTA there". But verbal/emotional abuse can be a lot harder to grok.

If you think you did badly, I think you have an option to not have it scored, at the end, though I don't know that I would take that option.

I was worried, when I did mine, and almost considered it, but I did FINE. You, too, will do fine!

I just culled my shoe wardrobe to 15 pairs total.

! I can't even imagine. I mean...damn. I have several pairs that I don't wear very often, I admit, but they go with specific outfits or occasions (like my interview suit)

While packing books, stop to read bits from ones you haven't looked at in a while. Suddenly realize you've spent an entire evening not packing like you said you were going to

This is ALWAYS a step in my moving plan

I think this is exactly how my brain worked at the time. He didn't hit me so it was a way tougher call for me to make at the time. It took a while to grok and then it was really, really clear.

Shockingly? I have a couple of those pairs as well. I just ... don't get the shoe thing. I am damaged goods.
