It sounds like she may be benefiting from the poor = crazy/rich = eccentric double standard?
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

People! Friends of mine!
Is Connie shouting into a vacuum?
Especially today of all days, when we really need some (ahem) cool news.
ETA: Happy New Year to all Jewish folks, including my sister and her husband! (I don't think they're on this board, but....)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Sorta' like saying Titanic was the biggest grosing movie ever, when (adjusted for inflation) it's really Gone with the Wind.
Wallybee and I watched Gone with the Wind last night. (Her parents sent her a collection of Oscar-winners.) I thought it was hilarious. The Mandarin subtitles may have had something to do with that.
Because surely an actual clinically diagnosed insane person would not be allowed to be executrix of SHIT.
True, although they could well believe themselves to be. They would spend all day in the rest room, barking orders.

OK, was it Sophia who said I should call Loki KIT-TEN? Because that's his nickname. Said kiht-TEHHHN. My mother will kill me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
After meeting with city officials, a group of bar owners near Wrigley Field said today they have agreed to voluntarily cut off alcohol sales after the 7th inning of some Chicago Cubs playoff games.
The voluntary cutoff would only apply to games that could clinch a series.
And, bars participating in the cutoff would be able to resume alcohol sales after the 9th inning if a "clinch" game goes to extra innings.
Office of Emergency Management and Communications chief Raymond Orozco, who attended today's meeting, said the city would hold a news conference Tuesday. He declined to take questions from reporters or even confirm the agreement with some bar owners.
It was not immediately clear if the deal reached with some Wrigleyville bar owners would be agreed to by their counterparts near U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox.
Baseball needs the Office of Emergency Management?
It amuses me that the north side is (grudgingly) agreeing but the south side isn't.

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
That is just the bizarrest thing. I can't understand what they hope to accomplish.
Also, some Wrigleyville bars? I can picture the seventh-inning stretch - hundreds of drunks flooding into the street to play musical bars.

I just spent 3 hours at urgent care (AIWFG!) sigh. I went in because my neck and shoulder are in terrible pain. But that's all a result of the 101 fever I have. Doh.
Don't want antibios. Just muscle relaxers please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm guessing they gave you the antibios and not the muscle relaxants...

Nope. Got the muscle relaxants. But it's not working. And i'm alternating between hot and cold. I'll be fine. I'm just not really ready to sleep though I'm extremely exhausted and hot and sweaty. Yay?
ita, I know you prolly aren't up for visitors, but I'd love to see you soonish. Maybe over the weekend if you have time. I hear there is a cereal bar near you and I have promised K a trip there.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
if you can stay awake -- get in the tub , Kat -- you can change the temp of the water to help you feel more comfortable until the drugs kick in.
