Compassionately intolerant

Thanks women.

I feel better about it now. I'm so resistant to taking things for their own sake that doing two antibiotics at once is a little scary.

sj, I really appreciate the probiotic tip. I've never read that but, now that you mention it, it makes so much common sense!

Much obliged to all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I had the MOST bizarre dream this morning.

Me too. Well, not bizarre so much as disturbing. In my dream there was a news story about a crunchy granola mom/writer (think...Annie Lamott?) and her decision to remove the cochlear implant from her 9 y.o. son that he'd had since he was very young. Basically making him deaf over his objections. And she had some sort of all-natural, pro-deaf rationale for this (in crazy dream logic). And the dream was just making me so upset that even after I woke I had to parse it through my head to figure out that it wasn't a news story I was remembering.

Always Anti-fascist!

People really do that, though.

I know! It was a disturbing thought based in plausibility. But not the actual, specific case in my dream.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I had a dream involving me, Rachel Maddow, and an airplane yesterday morning. No, I didn't want to wake up.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I had a dream which bores me in retrospect. A fairly wealthy woman married to a nightclub owner who turned out to have tried to kill herself in a variety of ways. It's as though my brain got left on a channel I wasn't interested in.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Barb, much ~ma for your surgery, and after. I'm looking forward to drugged-up Barb posts.

You need to be smoking a cigarette, drinking a martini and say this in a Marlene Dietrich accent:

::sip, drag, exhale:: "My dreams bore me."

Glam, yeah, every time she says "Infrastructure," I get more gay. Bravo, gay agenda...recruit AND oversee the stimulus. Although my last dirty dream was about Paul Krugman, actually. Over-invested in public affairs, me? Nah. Dr. Krugman was generous as a Keynesian should be, however.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A friend of mine went on an Air America cruise a year or two ago. Rachel Maddow bought her a drink (they knew each other back in San Francisco). And she successfully stalked Paul Krugman! (She and a friend went looking for him, found him sitting alone and eating, asked him if they could join him, so they had lunch with him.)
