Hil, can you have someone look at that? It sounds painful.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Scrappy, what I found in bellydance is that even the most body-conscious beginners lose that shyness as they learn to focus on function and purpose rather than unrealistic beauty expectations. You can can do it!!
Nora, thanks for sharing that recipe, looks good.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ouch, Hil. Take care of that burn.
Cass, you might want to tuck a small tub of Damp-Rid under your sink for a week or two till the wood dries out, just to prevent lingering damp and musty.
Good call! I need to get some of that. I'll get the hangy one, I think it'll work in the space.

Sparky! Your phone isn't accepting calls, but I spoke to Whale and confirmed.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I put a cool-ish compress on the burn when it first happened, and it's not hurting too much now unless something touches it. It seems similar to the one I got last year when my arm touched the top of the oven as I was taking out some cookies. I'll keep an eye on it and go to a doctor if it doesn't seem to be healing properly.

“Not dead yet!”
I went to the local dance shop and got tights, a leotard and a dance skirt to wear when practicing skating. I NEVER wear short skirts. I NEVER wear tight clothes. This going to be hard.
You can do it, Scrappy! What monster said is absolutely true in ballroom as well. Once you get to concentrating on your thing and what you're doing and improving your craft/performance, you'll totally forget what you're wearing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thanks, peeps. I think you;re right. I see women of all sizes rocking the practice dresses on the rink, and it is about time I join their number.

“Not dead yet!”
Encouragement to Scrappy said, can I just add how nervous I am about my upcoming competition? I'm have faux hair! I'm going to have to spray tan! I'm going to be wearing rhinestones at 10AM! EEP!

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