I'm not sure what's new about it other than the stupid name. I know lots of people with charms or whatever. Didn't Victorians give their wives pearls or something?
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

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

I got a Dr Pepper, since I'd been deprived of caffeine for nearly two months, from the point I'd been put on bedrest and medication for the hypertension.
Obviously I'm a cheap incubator.

OK, but one of the the biggest gifs of all (if you don't get to cuddle it, and a little blurry): [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Push present=hooey (although I had a cousin who bought herself a ring per kid-4 rings at about $20k per).
ita=still in pain but mildly hopeful of pain meds today and making it to her holiday party tomorrow.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So did the hospital do ANYTHING for you? Other than force you to lie in bed, that is.

Nope. Well, they have given me doses of reglan (anti-nausea) and dihydroergotamine every eight hours and may contionue to do so. Has no effect my pain. Maybe it makes them feel better. I'd rather be miserable at home, all told. And I'd really REALLY rather shower at home.
I have gotten to see Kat three times, and am reading Jane magazine (weird stuff) and wearing pink pyjama bottoms through her enablement. But they don't get to take credit for that. It's all her.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, I'm watching Knute Rockne, All American, and it's got me thinking about the subgenre of sports movies: sports movies where someone dies (or gets a clearly deadly illness), which so moves the team that they go on to win a game. So far, I've got this, Brian's Song, and Pride of the Yankees. What else?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Secondary to your question, Hil, are they all Based on a True Story?
