Poor paperdol! Colds are the WORST.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Polgara took me to the ER last night, and that helped me recover. I'm pretty much in constant migraine mode these days, though, it seems. It's easier to push them back just after an ER visit with the less potent drugs, but I can only take those twice a day or I go uber fainty. So it's narcotic time!
I am so exciting.
Paperdol, that is the suck. Were you trying to get email to me while I was away? Send me some!

The status is NOT quo.
Crap, paperdol, I'm sure a night in the rain didn't help. So much for "salty New Englanders." Hope you feel better soon.
Mahna Mahna is a great bit!! My brother, sister and I would go around the house singing it, even in college (Kip would start with "Mahna mahna," and Kris and I would break in with "Doo doooo do doo doo!").It's my ringtone. Love that song. I have rampant Muppet love. Bought S1 and S2 when they came out, and can't get enough of them.
ita, welcome back! Very sorry to hear about the constant migraine. I wish there was something we could do. Dammit.
Cash, gorgeous house!!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Impressive. I don't think I could name all fifty states in Australia.
Yeah, the hard part is that over half of the states are just synonyms for 'inebriation'.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now tagless for your comfort.
billytea, I met an Australian guy in the teeniest airport in the world (Central Wisconsin). His charming accent reminded me of you. We had a chat while waiting for the security line to open up.
Kat, what size jeans is Noah in? He's such a cutiehead cowboy!
paperdol, I hope you feel better soon.
ita, I went to a program orientation that's based out of your university. I felt all cool knowing someone who went there. Good luck with the drugs.

That Noah is so cute! And his clothes! Why don't they make grown up clothes in that onesie pattern?

I know I came past some atheism will kill your kids talk getting to the end of the thread. I thouight of it when I saw this:
Two months before the scheduled release of New Line Cinema's The Golden Compass, the Catholic League has launched an all-out assault on the fantasy film. The League, the largest Catholic lay organization in the U.S., has produced a 25-page pamphlet, titled "The Golden Compass: Unmasked," that it is selling on its website for $5.00 per copy, which damns the film as a pernicious effort to indoctrinate children into atheistic beliefs. Acknowledging that the film itself is unlikely to contain offensive material, Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in a statement, "If unsuspecting Christian parents take their children to see the movie, they may very well find it engaging and then buy Pullman's books for Christmas. That's the problem. We are fighting a deceitful stealth campaign on the part of the film's producers." Pullman has acknowledged his anti-religious stance but critics have said that his books present little that is likely to offend believers.
Hmm. I found the anti-religion irritating, and I'm not a believer.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought the Gnostic basis of Pullman's books was interesting. I was a little annoyed at the pronouncement that he was portraying "our" reality, but I'm not sure how he could have gotten around it.
