There isn't a thread I can go into without getting spoiled for the rest of my shows, so I don't have a thread. You may.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I also concur on GA. The new show seems like it will annoy me a lot, and I already want to firebomb the elevator.
Also, I don't like Meredith, but how about you give the woman a break already, people? Seriously.
eta: What ita said, on the threads.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm about 2 1/2 weeks behind on all my shows, now. I saw a preview for that GA and I did note a number of actors from shows that were cancelled this season .
Has Raines been cancelled?

Now tagless for your comfort.
mac had 9 pouting fits today. I have started counting them for him on the weekends. He doesn't like it, but it also snaps him out of them right quick because he does not want to get a high number.
I yelled at him twice. He says screamed, but he has never heard me scream. He has no idea
We had a really bad day with Owen. He's not interested in potty training but is flat out refusing to wear diapers, underpants or well...any pants at all. We had to draw a line today and it was not pleasant for anyone.
Owen cried only slightly more than me.

For those who aren't behind or worried about spoilage, there is GA talk in the experimental drama thread. Um, in case there was anyone who didn't actually know already.
Because the guns were made for righties. Okay, but I was using a pump action shotgun. The safety would have been flipped, but I was sucking manipulating it with my right hand anyway. Port loading would have been easier, and the slide release was central, on the front of the trigger guard. Much simpler than shooting Glocks leftie, which is what I usually do, handgun-wise.
See, anyone who knows this much about guns should be able to do whatever she wants. If that means shooting on the left, so be it. IJS. Also, what idjits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crap. I just remembered why I'm WIDE AWAKE, when I should be heading to bed. I had iced coffee late this afternoon. And two beers! But I guess they don't counteract in the long term.

In defense of letting people shoot right-handed guns left-handed:
Hubby went hunting once and was using a right-handed rifle with some reloaded ammo (ammo where the casings are filled with powder and a slug by someone in his home rather than at a factory). Reloaded ammo is often perfectly safe, but with this batch the reloader had used the wrong powder, much more powerful powder than the round was rated for.
To summarize, Hubby has a two-inch scar on his chin from where the barrel of the rifle peeled off, there's a tiny scar on his temple from where a piece of the breech rebounded, and if he'd been shooting it right-handed, the bolt would have gone through his brain.
So ita is perfectly entitled to shoot leftie.

Yikes. That's more painful endorsement than I'd hoped for--glad to see how lightly he got off, considering, connie.
I was wondering idly when the fingers on my right hand were going to stop tingling weirdly. A few hours after that initial shot I actually looked at the hand and I've got a massive great bruise on some of the knuckles that's draining blood into the fingers.
Hence the tingling.
No fucking idea where I got it--judging by the tingling I've had it more than twelve hours, but it's only now just started to hurt--undoubtedly because of the swelling.
Which is exacerbated by the naproxen the doctor wants me on. Maybe I'll start the steroids earlier than I'd planned--I figured I'd pay lip service to giving the NSAIDs a chance.
Oh! A thought prompted by something I saw in Spiderman 3 --is it grammatically correct to put an apostrophe between an abbreviation and the following s, be the s for pluralisation or verb agreement? Like the ever popular decade the 90's, or ♥'s, or stuff like that?
It drives me nuts, but I'm willing to stop wrinkling my nose and bitching if it's actually okay.
eta: Belatedly and unrelatedly, I have an issue with wearing anything over my bra with thinner straps than the bra itself. And my bras tend to the industrial side, just to get the mechanics all working. So, even a camisole whose straps will never be seen by anyone but me I don't wear, because they're spaghetti, and my bra is fettucine at the smallest.
Insane? I mean, normal women must wear stuff like that all the time, right? I just have this gradation issue, and maybe if enough people tell me it's stupid I can finally stop. And embrace the lace.

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 figured I'd pay lip service to giving the NSAIDs a chance.Eh. You know your body. Why not just start the things that actually might work?
And I had an answer to the apostrophe question when I read it. And then I had brilliant arguments for both sides and apparently the High School Debate brain is now in control so I am about to beat my head with a stick until it stops. Then I might have an answer about the apostrophes that I can really get behind again. But not tonight.

I like to pretend sometimes. You should see me in the ER. It's a damned good thing they don't let you go for painkillers by yourself. I can't be trusted to even get enough meds.
Maybe you can give debate brain a rest by looking at my camisole issue and telling me I'm dumb.
How cute is this?
