Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think if movie stars would let themselves gain a little weight as they aged, they wouldn't need to stretch their skin. I am still traumitized by my high school English teacher. I thought she was in her early thirties until I found out that the yougnest of her five children was 18. Then she went to weight watchers, and all of the sudden looked ancient as she went from a size 10/12 to a tiny tiny miniscule thing.

Your face or your ass, right? Isn't that the saying?

ita - good luck. I thought you had a pain specialist, and just needed a better one. But your current pain specialist is so bad it is like not having one? Or you lost yours? Or I was mistaken and you never had one?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Yes, that is saying. Which is why I'm content to stay a 12/14, and constantly confuse people about my age.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yep. It's stupid, but that's the saying.

I was just looking at nonprofit job listings, and it was stunning how many of them were in the emergency food / food bank / hunger business. I wonder if those guys are anticipating increased funding in the recession, or what.

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

I'm on migraine specialist #2, TB. I used to have a pain specialist, but he kinda ran out of ideas. Turns out I'm back in his hands, since they won't move patients to new doctors in the pain practice.

Hopefully time has given him new ideas.

I know the local foodbanks are putting out extra pleas these days. And I've heard several radio pieces on people seeking assistance for the first time.

I know why they're getting more business -- I'm curious where they're getting the money to hire more back-office people.
