Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm enthusiastic about cuddle care as well!

Less enthusiastic about the current state of ita. Sorry.

Ummm... I'm not sure what to think about that beyond yoiks!

Indeed.

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

This is... weird. A whole collection of anecdotes about women active in the pro-life movement who nonetheless have abortions themselves....

"The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion"

When the Anti-Choice Choose

"I've had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, 'You're not going to tell them, are you!?' When assured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn't want this to interfere with it." (Physician, Texas)

Everything leads to Dogs in Elk?

Yeah, I'm enthusiastic about cuddle care asap too. And missing having wee ones nearby cause even if they don't need it theraputically, I ADORE being the resting spot for them. Babies, kittens, I'm a sap.

I think we all have to have at least one "interesting" neighbor. Seems like a trend.

I'm glad yoga is making you feel good, Kat. I wish your ex-therapist was oodles more convenient, but I also get that. I hope that, should you need one later, you find one uberconvenient.

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

So if the sushi place near me answers "Hi Lee" when I call on my cell, that's just because I have a LA area code, right?

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

Absolutely. And the reason that one busboy (who seems to work every night) at that sushi place near krav brings us our beverages almost as soon as we sit down? It's because he thinks every guy likes water, and every chick digs the hot green tea.

No other possible reason.

At least your local service providers know you for remotely healthy reasons!

Think of that as excellent service and not overreliance on a restaurant.

That's what I thought.

You know, I'm impressed with how enjoyable Hustle still is, even though Mickey is gone.

As much as I guard my privacy (shut up,) I've come to appreciate being considered a regular at places.

The security guy on the route I take maybe once a week knows me. Freak-o-deak. I know I'm friendly from a distance, but not really that remarkable. That's a little weird.

I haven't cracked any of the episodes yet, partly because of this. I know I'll enjoy them once I do--it just gives me a hurdle.

I hear you. Thing is, I always want tea. And he always wants water. So it's okay. In fact, I really like it. I thank the guy profusely, and if there were a way to push more tip towards him, I would. We rarely have to wait for refills, he's just great.

Normally that crap bothers me. Don't start reaching for my bagel or mixing my tea latte before I start talking. Just don't. Also, don't try and be in my life.

But at the same sushi restaurant, if they ask if it's two to dine (either it's two, or there are more than two of us there) or give us menus when it's just the two of us, or wait before giving us the paper you write the sushi order down on? Then I get all snarky on the side. I don't think the diner should ever feel like they've been patronising the restaurant longer than the staff has been working there. And that's usually what it means. I get all nostalgic for the usual people.
