"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yay Penguin Daddy!

Glad you got treatment, Ginger. I'm preetty happy with the marvels of "modern" medicine, as represented by amoxicillin. It's crazy that a person can be literally writhing in pain, unable to roll over, and then completely fine, just by eating a little mold.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Aww, Penguin Daddy!

Askye, yay for getting your insurance straightened out!

Teppy, vibing hard things fall within the timelines for your insurance.

Ginger, so relieved for you you got treatment.

In conclusion: I'll take Alan Rickman in a shaft of sunlight (thank you, ita!).

Ginger, hope you feel better soon!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Dear Oral Care Industry,

Please to be making it plain which minty-fresh products are wintergreen-flavored and which are not. I'm sure that there are plenty of potential customers who love wintergreen, and strongly dislike spearmint or peppermint, while I find wintergreen to be nauseating and to be avoided at all costs. This business of calling things "clean mint" and "fresh mint" and "cool mint" and anything except what actual flavors are in them is. Not. Helpful.

No love, me

Punishingly Intricate

WindSparrow, we are sisters in our hatred of wintergreen! It's pepto bismol flavor! BLECH! Plus, my dad used to eat wintergreen mints while driving us to Texas in the summer and I always got car sick on those trips so the smell is inextricably linked with nausea in my brain.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I also hate wintergreen.

So, the move estimator just left. Time to crunch some numbers. Man, I just want to go back to bed. So overwhelmed, and still not sleeping well.

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

I've never noticed a difference between different flavors of mint, but I pretty much hate all artificial mint flavor. A few leaves of mint in something is OK, but mint toothpaste, cookies, candies, etc., just taste gross to me.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I once saw a photo of Alan Rickman, barefoot, in a kilt. sigh

Ginger, glad you've seen the doctor - hope everything kicks in soon.

Dear healthcare system: if you're going to pay for viagra, you REALLY ought to cover birth control and other reproductive services. Thanks ever so.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I don't mind wintergreen but if I'm sick to my stomach only peppermint helps (if I have no ginger) I wonder if all that Pepto we had when we were sick little kiddies made it so it doesn't work on us as adults.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I will take any and all varieties of mint.
