Cereal:
Be careful, vw-- take care.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
EDS underdiagnosis thing: Yeah, probably. Although most people have never heard of it. Including many doctors. "Sorry, you have what now?" Heh. I was certainly completely cluless about the condition until I was well into adulthood, and I *had* the thing. (Yeah, long story.)
Me too. My first diagnosis, once the doctors realized that it was something systemic and not just a bunch of individual joints, was juvenile arthritis. Which my symptoms didn't quite fit, but sort of did. The thing that always freaks out my doctors is that I tend to get little tiny red spots all over my arm from broken blood vessels whenever they use the automatic blood pressure cuff instead of the hand-pumped one. Fragile blood vessels + increased pressure = broken blood vessels. I've had doctors call in other doctors from the hallway to look at my arm when that happened, just because it seemed so weird.
Or when I started physical therapy for my shoulder a few months ago, and the therapist was testing my range of motion, there was one movement where, after she saw my shoulder bend, she exclaimed, "Wow! Look at that mobility!" Very surprised. Um, yes. That's kind of what the "hypermobility" part means. (Getting all my joints measured with the giant protractor was fun, though.)

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.
Yikes, vw. I'm glad your mom can take you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I hope they figure things out soon , vw.
The human body is interesting, it variants even more so.
of course, so are their brains. I had an interesting conversation with someone I usually don't talk to much. Turns out, that despite being 70-odd years old she still sort of thinks about men like a teen age girl does) . I spent some time convincing her that it was ok to say she just couldn't read one of the books her boyfriend gave her.

I love Netflix because I can rent movies that never come here. Seska, I'm thirty-five and the only fully accessible kitchen I've ever even seen is in a CIL.

The status is NOT quo.
Eek, vw, be careful!
Seska, I don't think I've welcomed you yet, so WELCOME!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What's a CIL?
Wishing lots of health-ma to ita and vw and a smooth delivery of impending Babytea!

Our wings are not tired.
Take care, vw.
DH bought me 'Dance Dance Revolution' for the Wii yesterday. So I tried to hook it up during lunch, but failed. Alas, I am going to have to have the kids do it. I don't mind admitting my failure to manage this task, because surely I could figure it out, it is just faster to delegate. My fear is finding the boys putting youtube videos up of this 55yo chubby mom making a fool of herself dancing with the Wii.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
PixKristin, hello!
erikaj, I can look at all the accessible kitchens in the world - I'm not likely to own one anytime soon. (But wow, was that kitchen gorgeous.) Now, the £400 walking aid, I'm already scheming about. Why is 'outside my price range, but not wildly outside of it' *so* much more tempting than 'can't even afford to ask how much it costs'? I wonder if I'd go to a lower circle of hell for robbing a mobility store than for robbing a general one. Hmm.
What's a CIL?
Centers for Independent Living. Here in the UK, they're called Centres for Independent Living. Spot the difference. Heh.
I should wait for The Girl to get home from work before watching House and How I Met Your Mother, shouldn't I? On the other hand, she'd never know...
