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.

Question re: cats. Ever since Koogie died, our other cat, Shadow, has been particularly weird. I'm sure he misses Koogie as much as I do. I'm not sure I want to get another kitten just yet, though, but I hate having Shadow wandering the house making "Where are you?" noises.

What do you do for a grieving cat? If we try to pay him more attention, he gives us dirty looks and hides behind the bedroom door and growls at me when I don't see him in the dark and squish him with the door.

My problem is that they took the blue (turquoise, not navy) sudafed out of production completely. It had something in it that prevented me from violently drying out.So even with the back-alley sudafed, I'm an unhappy sickie. I pretty much haven't taken serious sinus meds since ...well, whenever it was my cousin got married in SD. Just lots of advil and whining. When I have taken the new formulations, they've done jack shit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Post-antibiotics, pre-AIDS, right?

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

Odds of any given partner being risky?

Basically. Science hasn't quite caught up with the goolie germs, has it? I suppose a time where you might catch something but it was totally curable would suffice.

And have the right tests. Is it the syph that can make you insane if you don't treat it, even though it seems like it's gotten better?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

'Tis indeed the syph.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Decongestants(both formulations) tend to make me jittery, and I can't take them after noon, or else I don't sleep well.

Phew! My time working in healthcare was good for something after all.

Also I believe your nose falls off. But I learned that from Candide, so, grain of salt.

I'm with Jesse - there's a reason 1969 was the summer of love. Birth control pills, antibiotics, pre-aids. Y Not?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

sara's my blue Sudafed girl.

Claritin-D, on the other hand, makes me unable to sleep. I assume it has more pseudoephedrine than OTC (or behind TC) Sudafed.
