Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Stepahnie can you rewrite to say something like, "what tipped the balance ...."

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

my body doesn't really find carbs agreeable, though my brain and tastebuds TOTALLY disagree.

You might be victim to that thing (ask bon for details) where when you get off gluten, gluten is mean to you when you try it again. It's why I'm never going off.

I was just researching deathmatches, and I bumped into msbelle's delurk! So cute! And I am the first person to respond to her, and I kinda challenge what she says, and I'm talking about Colin (although I don't name him). 9 years ago. We're very old.

Okay, back to project plans instead of deathmatches.

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

Can you have deathmatches of project plans?

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

As I recall, this is the problem with going off a lot of types of foods, and the risk of any kind of elimination diet.

Like, I'm totally convinced my mother-in-law would have fewer food issues if she hadn't gone on as many as she has. And my Dad never had problems with lactose until he went off milk when he was on Atkins.

Trust my rage

Thanks, Kat. That reads much better than what I had.

Oh, god, I wish. I inherited so many, and I can't work out why. The one that scares me the most, that might be authoritative, has 750 lines, and I'm not sure what they mean. But today I will crack the bastard.

you challenged me ?!?!?

You called Riley a golden retriever. I thought that was too kind. Colin was a golden retriever. I stand by my position.

Trust my rage

Okay, I've been at the coffee shop for three hours and my battery is dying, but I don't want to go home. My MIL is there and while she's been a really easy guest, I really like to be left alone when I'm working from home. But it feels rude to go upstairs and shut the door or otherwise ignore her.

Because books.

As I recall, this is the problem with going off a lot of types of foods, and the risk of any kind of elimination diet.

I thought I heard/read that it's suspected that could be part of the problem with so many more children being diagnosed with food allergies. That things routinely fed to them years ago aren't now, until they're a few years old.

No idea if that's true. The only thing we ever waited on was eggs and peanut butter, until they passed the year mark.
