Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Is he out of the wheelchair from now on, msbelle?

I definitely hate humans, despise my head, and am just not filled large with the love these days.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Am I crazy, or does "General Petraeus" sound like a Star Trek character?

See, for me, it sounds more like Doctor Zaius.

My head combines Planet of the Apes with Falco.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mine generally does. Yet another thing I can blame on the Simpsons.

oh no ita, not yet. 2 more weeks where any distance of more than a block will be by the GD wheelchair. Once to a location, he WILL be on crutches. two weeks from Thursday, he should have a walking brace. I say should because nothing is going to my understood schedule.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Is the stupid mess with the idiots at his school worked out?

fyi, bathtub play by play.

rhino defeats triceratops, then hippo eats triceratops - until mom says that hippos are vegetarians. "Hey we are preTENDing here."

That's where I heard that. I'm earwormed every time I see an article or headline with General Petraeus.

well, yesterday he did get taken with the other kids after lunch and not just left by himself like all of last week. But he is just set to the side for PE, and I still have to take him to his classroom each morning. I think it is as worked out as it is going to get and my letter will be in the vein of "I hope some things get changed before the next kid come in with temporary special needs, cause, you know, it's the law.""

"Hey we are preTENDing here."

Boy's got a point.

I hope that his increased ability to do things makes him a happy puppy and proceeds apace.

Okay, I'm having yesterday's headache again. I want to go home. A few more minutes.

Have people here had good luck finding restaurant websites? I mean, since I don't have a Yellow Pages anymore--in talking to Polgara I realised that I'm not even throwing them out anymore because I'm plain not getting them--and I mostly look straight ahead when driving, finding new restaurants is spotty. I want to try pizza delivery places near me (most of the menu drops I get are Asian food, with some South American, and they were good finds, just limited) and when I google their names I can only find CityPages or something like that. Small site. Menu. Delivery range. It's all I need.
