We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Is it possible for an old break in a leg to start hurting years later? There are two screws in my leg bone at that point, if that makes any difference.

What Laura said. As I have recently learned, osteoarthritis gets old joints, and joints can be made prematurely old by trauma.

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

Boo! I don't wanna have to drive to work every day.

Think of how much I want to punch people in the face, and you have a sense of my own frustration.

You don't want to stop the walking. Arthritis is a use-it-or-lose-it disease. At this point, you probably just need to up your NSAID consumption to keep down the inflammation, and take them before you exercise, not later when it starts to hurt.

Yes, I have arthritis in both knees and my hands. It's the family curse.

We recognize no such competition here in Utah, where there is much hangwringing over the fact that approval for the president is only at around 50%. Jesus cries when the good Utah children don't love the President.

Arthritis also hits where there's been surgery, especially involving bones. Poor Hubby is in misery, though he's gotten very precise on predicting local weather.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Imagine my surprise at seeing beer in grocery stores in Virginia for the first time. I was like, "What will grocery stores sell next, chain saws??" Just, a total violation of category. Like a sporting goods store selling pillow shams, or something.

Now, I have gotten more used to the idea. But there are even now little weird details, like, how close you are to the state border, what town you are in, whether it's wine or beer or hard liquor. The "corking fee" for dry town restaurants, where you get to pay for the privilege of bringing your own wine, is the funniest alcohol oddity, to me.

Huh. Beer is readily available in Utah grocery stores--except on Sunday, though that rule is slowly falling. Then again, it's Utah's own special 3.2 beer, which may not count.

Utah even has its own beer?

They have corking fees at restaurants around here, so I'd never thought of it as a dry town thing.
