Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

While biking, I hit a pothole, lost control and went straight into the nearest tree.

Holy crap!

I had a sore neck, sore back and bruises all over the place.

Well, YEAH.

My head hit the tree, but my helmet did a good job of protecting my brain.

Yay, helmet!

Jesus god. I'm glad you're okay!

U.K. Designer “Grows” an Entire Wardrobe From Bacteria

Suzanne Lee can conjure clothing out of thin air. No, wait, that’s not entirely accurate. She’ll need at least a couple of bathtubs, some yeast, a pinch of bacteria, and several cups of sweetened green tea. Lee, who is a senior research fellow at the School of Fashion & Textiles at Central Saint Martins in London, is the brains (and brawn) behind BioCouture, an experiment in growing garments from the same microbes that ferment the tasty caffeinated beverage.

From this microbial soup, fibers begin to sprout and propagate, eventually resulting in thin, wet sheets of bacterial cellulose that can be molded to a dress form. As the sheets dry out, overlapping edges “felt” together to become fused seams.

Now tagless for your comfort.

That is way cool, Jess!

My day has been weird and stressy. Liv has been grating on my last, raw nerve and I've started stress eating again.

Need to nop that in the bud.

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

I'm back to stress not eating. Let's mind meld, Cash.

Stuff is not going well at work and I want to run and hide.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

As Judith Viorst put it, "why is it when I'm eating my heart out I'm also eating everything else?"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Done with work for the day. Now off to PO again (2 more boxes to mail) and then the library (return 1 book, donate several).

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

Judith Viorst quotes are the answer to many things.

It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
But cursing helps too.

Trade you ita--I've gained stress weight from bad eating. Argh.
