{{{{{{Seska&TheGirl&family}}}}}} Girl, I think it would be awesome if you did stop by here. You are welcome here.

{{{{FredPete}}}}} I'm sorry Rigatoni didn't make it. He had a great life with you, and he will be missed.

what she said.

I am so sorry, Fred. But going out knowing you are loved is wonderful.

That was really funny.

Vortex, that's irritating as hell. People not doing their jobs when you're relying on them: frustrating.

I just... I am sitting here shaking my head because I don't understand that kind of lack of empathy for your own child.

You know, until recently I was mega-angry about it, a lot of the time. Just recently I started to realise that most people are not malicious, and that parents usually want what's best for their child - even if they get that wrong a lot. Right now, particularly, I will do whatever's most helpful for them. That has to be more constructive than adding to their stress, right?

Heh. She might, she might not. She's a funny one. But she loves that there are a huge number of people, particularly former Bronzers and other fandom types, who know her even though she doesn't know them. It's a fun thing.

Lots of peaceful thoughts for you, Fred Pete.

Edit: Cross-post from somewhere else, but I'm still laughing about it. A little girl just ran through the cafe in the direction of the toilet, shouting "I need a pooooooooooooo!"

well, at least she's honest about it. I would totally let her cut in front of me.

Yeah, you can't argue with that.

Requiescat in pace, Rigatoni.

Though if you could wear pajamas to work I suspect you would.

It's my biggest joy about working from home, honestly. Well, that and not worrying what tabs I have open on my computer.

That is my every Friday. I'm on the couch, in shorts and a t-shirt, with a big fat cat lying on my leg as if it's a pillow. And I'm working. Awesome.

I am erring on the side of caution and Teppy by waiting it out instead of taking more. Caution because I like my liver. Teppy because I would have taken more than the OTC dose if I did take some and La Tep is a pharm god.

Heh. I'm flattered, but I just know where to look stuff up. (Also, with Advil, you can take more than the OTC dose; just not more than the *prescription* dose [which is higher than the OTC dose].)

That's excellent. Yesterday I finished the 4th of a series of really grim vampire books, so I'm taking that sign to heart.

Note: This spoiler-fonted for Extreme Intimate Knowledge of Stuff. And I'm posting to rant a bit and not so much sympathy, cause really? Now I'm just mad.

So I went to my OB for a mid-cycle ultrasound on Tuesday. I told them that I had some symptoms of a UTI, but not severe. They did a urine test and said it was fine. Ultrasound showed four good cycts on my ovary, ready to release eggs. OB told me to go home, put Joe on lockdown for the next week and make with sexing every other day. We did it Tuesday night, skipped Wednesday which was my day 14 and also the day I got my egg-whites, did it again last night. This morning they call me and tell me that they did a culture and I *do* have some bacteria in my urine and that they are calling in Macrobid for me for 7 days. I asked if the AB's would affect my getting pregnant and they said to treat the infection first and wait until next month to try getting pregnant. Can a UTI really affect getting pregnant? Does anyone know of a baby I can just have? Cause seriously, I am so incredibly over this whole thing.
