Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My left ankle is hurting in exactly the same way that my right ankle did when I started having trouble with it. This worries me.

Thrive to spite them

Steph I hope you feel better soon and the itching stops.

My shrink wants me back on Trazodone and I forgot why I stopped taking it.

And then I remembered - I started losing my peripheral vision on my right eye and the eye doctor said it was a rare side effect of the trazodone.

But I've tied googling it and the only thing I get is blurry vision so now I need to talk to my shrink again. And i also want to get my peripheral vision checked again, I don't think it's worse but I need to talk to the doctor.

The status is NOT quo.

Lying on the sand sipping unlimited cocktails and trying the occasional beach sport?
Life has been worse.
I aim to do it once a year.

I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I think you should join me next time I go to Hawaii, Kristin. Free hotel room on Waikiki...:) (OK, the cocktails are not unlimited. They are very limited. But the malasadas are delicious!)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I dunno if she is, but I am.

I am, but I probably should have added the "if I could afford a plane ticket" clause. Sigh.

Plus, I'm trying to talk ND into adopting a new pup from one of the local German Shepherd rescues, in which case I would be PUPPY training. (Trying not to get my hopes up, but...)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

As of 11:15, my skin is all still attached.

I know you were all on pins and needles wondering about it.

(I am still itchy, however. But I'm pounding down Benadryl and, like I said, skin still attached, so -- woot.)
