Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I cut way back on the juice and sugar, and it's had an immediate effect on my acid reflux.

Oopsie! TMZ admits that Kennedy photo is probably a fake: Kennedy Picture -- A Fake?

When glancing over the article it did occur to me that they were overlooking the fact photographic trickery was possible before Photoshop hit the market.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The most fun thing about new flying restrictions is that they aren't going to be enforced uniformly across airports or airlines--according to DHS, they want the element of surprise so they can keep potential terrorists from figuring them out.

Which means innocent travellers are basically screwed. The poor guy on a subsequent flight on the same route from Amsterdam to Detroit got dragged bodily out of the toilet because he wouldn't come out when asked--he apparently had some sort of intestinal distress and couldn't come out when they asked.

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

I don't think wait time is really much of a proxy for security levels. Even right after they reopened post 9/11, National has always been one of the quickest and smoothest to get through, and I can't imagine they're particularly lax.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry there's extra drama around the funeral, ita. I'm glad you can be there for your aunt, even so.

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

I switched up my juice--no more OJ, and the juices I do drink are cut in half with water, and my stomach is much happier. My tongue, NSM.

As for cheese and gluten, I always think maybe my stomach would be happier without them. But I'm having pizza for lunch today.

As much as part of me loathes the idea, there's no way I can't be there for her. She wins over all the crazy people, hands down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am extraordinarily grateful that I can basically eat anything with no ill effects.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I gave up juice. If I'm thirsty I'd rather have water, if I want fruity I'd rather have fruit. I've also learned, after years of pain, that alcohol+fruit juice=severe stomach pain. Doesn't even have to be consumed together, just sequentially. I miss the fruity drinks sometimes.

I'm getting the pig!

Sue, have you looked into cold-brewing your coffee? Much less acidity, supposedly it doesn't stain your teeth and it cuts out some of the caffeine. And without the acidity, you can drink more to make up the caffeine.

I really need to try cold brewing. I love coffee but my drip machine makes for acidic badness.
