Now tagless for your comfort.

but the chain of clinics I worked for had to sign a thing saying they weren't even talking about abortion, in order to get the state family planning money

These clinics have the same rule! They can't even say the word! And yet, crazy people with signs out front.

Kate, you are much on my mind today. Hope everything goes well!
Hayden, I said this on the book of Face, but I'll be keeping an ear out for you. I still can't believe that we haven't gotten together since you've been back in NC. Must be rectified!
Happy Anniversary, PixDesigns! Woo! See you soon!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Good heavens, amyth! I'm sorry. I'm home right now--do you need anything? I have an unopened jug of orange juice that I could bring right over. TP? Bread?

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

I just lost the past 18 hours to a norovirus

I read this as noromovirus and worried! I don't want to stop shipping!

The fact that often it's the infants that pay for it doesn't appear to be a factor in their calculations, IMO.

Well once the infants are born they've got that whole Original Sin thing on 'em, so they might as well start paying for it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

These clinics have the same rule! They can't even say the word! And yet, crazy people with signs out front.

Good times.

amyth, my goodness! You poor thing.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

He's Hal, but I think it's inescapable that they'll inject comedy into a superhero movie, unless they want to be explicitly Dark Knight.

No, just no. I could see Kyle Rayner, but not Hal Jordan. They'll turn him into a cocky asshole test pilot who suddenly has all of this responsibility and it changes him and makes him a better person.

No.

I'll agree to disagree, but you'd probably better not see the movie, just in case.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You know what's WAY better than hospital food? Leftover veggie chili turned into huevos rancheros. OH HAI SALT AND FAT AND FLAVOR HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!

IOW, we just brought Aeryn home from the hospital. She has run through almost her entire to-do list already (1. nurse 2. sleep 3. poop), making her by far the most productive member of the household.
