Are you not using the FMLA, msbelle? (not to be all nosy, just wondering.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Happy Birthday, Jesse, Theodosia and Rayne!
I like my dentist because when he was working on a dead toothe and I felt pain- he was baffled - but gave me more drugs. Oddly, as long as I can trust that my pain complaints work, pain bothers me less. control issues

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy Boxing Birthday to Jesse, Theo and the long-absent but not forgotten Rayne!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, I continue to be touched by you and Mac. Even though I figured it would happen, that you would adopt a child, I just couldn't have predicted how...I don't know...beautiful it would be.
I think my parents think I drink too much, but I think I'm 37 and I don't drink at home. So, a few mimosas, alcohol in the egg nog, alcohol in the sorrell--that's perfectly normal. In days gone by, they'd already have spiked the nog and sorrell. It's just that they drink less. I don't have to.
Also I seem to recall being 37, but my conviction on the importance and relevance of that does waver a bit.

On my most recent trip to the dentist, which was something like 7 years since the last one, the dentist told me something very interesting about pain in the mouth.
He says that the nerves in teeth have only pain receptors, so any sensation at all is registered as pain. I never really thought about what other sensations my teeth have ever experienced, but now that he mentions it...

ita! When I got to the resort in Mexico last week the first thing they did was bring us cold glasses of sorrell. Only they called it Jamaica tea. Still good.

Good idea. Maybe I'll go to Starbucks. That should kill 10 minutes or so.
