Wow, Fay. I mean...WOW. Seriously, you are dead sexy. I'm not just saying this. If Bloke can't see that, he's blind! (askhimoutaskhimoutaskhimout)

That comic is awesome, Tep. Hee.

Erin. I'm so sorry about the insurance stress. I hope you find a better doctor and office soon.

My previous tag was "going for a gold in the awkward olympics". I think I may have achieved it.

While fishing for a shoe under my desk (large desk, completely enclosed), I managed to overturn my (also large) chair on top of me, pinning me under it in the leg area of the desk. There wasn't enough space behind my desk to push the chair back. I thought about calling for help, but (aside from the embarrassment) there wasn't anyone around. While I contemplated my situation, I pulled the shoe out from the far corner of the under-desk area.

I finally managed to push the chair upright, shoved it back enough that I could get to my feet, and then sat down again.

so ... how's YOUR day going?

I've mentioned that you two are, like, totally shippable, yes?

Me and The Boy, or Fay and Bloke?

See, and I'm probably not going to be able to explain myself well here, I thought the religious stuff in his show was refreshing and topical. There's a lot of stuff going on in the world, and a lot of it has to do with this "I'm right; you're wrong, and therefore must be destroyed." attitude that extremists on any side have. I think my favorite part was when he said, "But those fundamentalist should be lined up against a wall...and poked with sticks!"

I liked that part, and I liked the Noah's ark stuff. It was hearing "God doesn't exist" repeated continually throughout the night that kind of made my stomach turn. I realize that is totally my issue, and it really didn't stop me from enjoying the show, a lot.

Me and The Boy, or Fay and Bloke?

I meant you and the boy. And then an x-posty thing happened. I'm sure Fay and Bloke will be just as fabulous once she ASKS HIM OUT (and/or leaks his RL identity so we can start dropping email hints), but they don't get called shippable until there's a ship to ship.

It was hearing "God doesn't exist" repeated continually throughout the night that kind of made my stomach turn.

I disagree with his POV on that, but because his delivery doesn't include denigrating people who believe God exists, it's cool with me.

And that's the problem with the rabid God people: it's not their belief; it's their insistence that anyone who doesn't believe exactly as they do must be ignorant slack-jawed yokels who are shilling for Satan. Not the *best* way to win people over to your religion.

(EVANGELISM: UR DOIN IT WRONG.)

Empress, there are also the last three here that went up recently you might like.

And Steph, the entire hand site is being updated at least once a week. I must work on getting an RSS feed for each individual subsite, I think...

I disagree with his POV on that, but because his delivery doesn't include denigrating people who believe God exists, it's cool with me.

Well that and the end of the "God doesn't exist" sentance was, as a guy with a big beard who lives in the sky.

I'm an athiest, but I thought what he said about God being the aspiration to be the best humans we can was pretty awesome, and I think the golden rule corresponds pretty well with my life commandment which is "Don't be an asshole."

I disagree with his POV on that, but because his delivery doesn't include denigrating people who believe God exists, it's cool with me.

I felt this was a little denigrating, because he was essentially saying you're an idiot if you believe in God. Maybe that's just what I was reading into it.

DH took Annabel to the doctor to check on the seizure issue. The doctor is inclined to think Annabel's fade-outs are NOT epilepsy, but she's given us a list of things to look out for. We're supposed to time them, see what her eyes do, see if she's capable of telling us what she was thinking about, etc., and if they do match the criteria for seizures, we should get her tested more thoroughly before she starts school. It wouldn't be a major health issue, but we and her teachers would need to be aware because she'd occasionally miss hearing information, and that would need to be treated as a medical issue rather than a behavioral one.
