OK, my slacking has once again worked out. I have ten more minutes of neatening and packing to do, and my ride just called and said she won't be here til 10 anyway. Sweet!
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
Ah the joy of sleeping until the sun is up. It's a LTM (learning team meeting) day at Brendon's school so instead of getting him up at 5:30 he got to sleep until 9:00. Woo! Once a month or so the students don't have to arrive until 10:30 so the teams can do their meeting thing. I joyously woke him a few minutes ago, exclaiming that it was daylight and I was waking him for school. He said I was still too loud.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just "taught" my first class of the semester. Well, "taught" in the sense of told them the homework rules, went over some administrative stuff, and then let them leave because the purpose of my sections is supposed to be to review what they learned in the lecture, and they haven't learned anything in the lectures yet.

I've had hiccups for two days. I've tried every trick I know, and none of it's worked. And they're not even regular hiccups, they're like hicBURPS.

So last night I taught someone how BCE, BC, CE and AD worked, quizzed spelling words and then talked to my brother for three freaking hours on the phone. Maybe that's why I'm tired this morning?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That sucks. Have you tried the 'hold your breath as long as you can' thing? Find someone to scare you?

Jars, what works for me sometimes is holding a deep deep breath until I almost pass out, or feel like I will, anyway. Holding the throat closed and the chest expanded gives the burping muscles something else to do, and that often resets them.

Yeah. In general, people can hold their breath much longer than they think they can - when you get to the point where you really don't think you can hold it any longer, you can generally still go a lot longer....
eta: You could also do something scary, like skydive....

Skydiving would be fun, but I'm trying the breath holding thing currently.
