I still don't understand why I can get here
Because you go here very frequently, your computer is using the cached result of an earlier DNS search.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

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

Could someone please predict how sick I'll be next year, so I can decide which insurance plan to pick?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

But it doesn't work for any of the other sites I go to frequently? I don't mean to interrogate you, I'm just curious. And about to go home, thank god.

It should. I don't know how long before the cached value is expired. (DNS servers are somewhat of a mystery to me, hence they are magic.)

WHAT ARE INTERNETING FOR??

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Obviously I say "SO" when talking about D., but that's an internet phenomenon left over from when I wasn't revealing my gender identity. In real life I say "my husband, D." a lot, particularly because we discovered that a lot of our kids don't realize we're married. Sometimes they ask us if we're brother and sister, I guess when we talk about living in the same house or something. Which is pretty funny with our ethnic heritage differences, but I guess to them it's not that odd to have siblings of varying ethnicities.
I notice that I say, "my friend, X" when I'm talking about all y'all because I must feel odd introducing some completely random name. I just say the friend's name if it's someone I'm talking about meatspace to meatspace.

Yet another fabulous feature of the fucked upedness of the US healthcare system. We did eenie-meanie-minie-mo. And I threw a dart at a board to guess our FSA deduction.

I didn't do a medical FSA this year, though perhaps I should have. Just childcare and we'll go over that by no problem.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Different sites on the Internet can specify how long their DNS names are cached. www.buffistas.org has a cache lifetime of 86400 seconds, or 24 hours. Big commercial web sites like to specify a cache lifetime that is much shorter. For example, google.com has a cache lifetime of only three minutes. This allows it to recover from failure quicker; if a host goes down, the bad address won't get stuck in other people's DNS caches for very long.

I'm going to get new glasses tomorrow due to FSA screw-ups. Possibly two pairs. Feh.
