It took four hours, two phone calls, and four customer service representatives, but I have cable again! Plus, I now get TCM and AMC, which I hadn't known were part of the new package -- I'm not paying any extra -- but I'm certainly not complaining.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

bonny, I've never made it past the pin prick and iron test. I pass out from the pin prick and then they say my iron is low. le sigh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have English mad-cow-tainted blood and am such a hard stick that the nurses seem pissed I don't have a port-a-cath. Oh, the stories I won't tell the trypanophobes.

Compassionately intolerant
I honestly can't believe I got past the pin prick...or that I asked for a second one. But, I will say, it went faster and hurt less than I expected. My fingers hurt more now than they did then!
On the way home, I asked my friend if I really made that much noise...such that people would rush over to ask if I was okay. I swear, I did not hear myself. J paused for a long time, "There was a...well...a...peep." Bless him.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I made up a little song about how very grown up I am and sang it in the bath. That helped.
Hee! I hope you have indeed found your house.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Vortex, have any pepcid around? --it is an H2 blocker -- which helps with skin reactions according to the doctor in the ER ( from the last time I had to take Matt in for a bad allergic reaction) It seems to help whe I get itchy
and the red cross standards for iron are very high.I need to be much lower for my doctor to pay attention to them

actually, I have some lora-something, which should work (of course, it's like 2 years old and may be expired)
