It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Oh, you totally would!

I remember drinking 7-up and Squirt. And Orange Crush because I spilled it all over my Holly Hobby sleeping bag when the wind blew the tentpole over while I was inside.

I love Emergency, mostly because I had a crush and I remember no episodes.

Apparently I am msbelle AND sophia.

And me, too! I don't remember individual episodes, just the use of the word "Rampart" (the hospital, IIRC), Randolph Mantooth's gorgeous good looks, and the fact that I was really freaked out when I first saw the movie M*A*S*H and saw Bobby Troop saying, "Goddamn Army!" Doctor Whats-his-name isn't supposed to swear!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

There is a Rampart district here in LA, and whenever we pass the Rampart street signs, the DH does the emergency radio call form that show.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The Shield was initially called Rampart.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

And there I was, apologizing to her teacher, who'd just said "Iris was crying because she didn't have her valentines to give to everyone" (we'd started making some, but burned them up on family and neighbor-friends.... and somehow, I thought it was optional.) NOOOO. Teacher concluded with "we can have another valentine's day whenever you're ready."

This was Annabel's third daycare Valentine's Day, but the first where her class had a celebration. Before I saw your post I was annoyed that her teacher didn't say anything about it till Monday, because if I'd known the weekend before, I wouldn't have had to go out of my way to get cards. But at least I had warning, and Annabel seemed to enjoy it. I'll be glad when that treat bag is finally empty, though...

I'd somehow blocked the memories of my own childhood V-Days, where we were required to bring cards for every member of the class, but you still knew you were a loser if your bag only contained the tiny cards that come in boxes of 25. Popular kids gave each other big, personalized cards and gave the tiny ones to the peons.

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

I don't have any childhood nostalgia of your soft drinks (natch), but it's so very easy for me to slot in brand names of my own, and it's the same.

I think we still do use the bottles for many of the flavours I remember wistfully. But these days I'm all and only about the Ting, despite the power punch of sugar that it packs.

I had edamame for breakfast. For lunch, I brought leftover leftover linguine with pine nuts, asparagus, peas, tomato, onion, baconbaconbacon, and tons of garlic. Nom nom nom. Now I am feasting upon grapes.

Rampart was the name of the fiction hospital in E!
