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.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

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.

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

Punishingly Intricate
hellooo everyone!
I'm the ONLY one in my office today. It's technically a holiday for us but were told we could come in if we needed to and then take the holiday as a floater next year. I really needed to get some work done and would rather take a day next year anyway.
I actually have gotten some work done and took a trip to the nearby mostly crappy mall where I scored two pairs of jeans that fit and one kinda ridic cardy with a fur collar. I kind of hope that the jeans don't fit for long because oi chubby! I think I'm going on a semi-serious abstinence program after the new year for a few months (with a break for our trip to SF, of course). We'll see how that goes.

I kept transposing letters and double-taking.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Today I received a package with "FCM" printed in large letters. ("First Class Mail")
It's a Let the Right One In t-shirt. I'm leaning towards M-ing it....
