You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

A diploma doesn't necessarily indicate expertise. Zoe D Katze, Ph.D., C.Ht., DAPA, for example, has a wall of diplomas, despite being unable to sign her name. She doesn't have the opposable thumbs for it.

After seeing a story about Dr. Katz, Daniel said he wished we had the spare cash to get Harvey some diplomas and credentials.

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

Exterminator is here. That counts as onerous, right? Prior to him coming I cleaned a bathroom and started cleaning a coat that the cats had peed on, but this coat? turn out really poorly dyed fake leather. Maybe real leather with fake fur lining, dunno, really poorly dyed and now my hands are a mess and I threw the coat into the washer for a spin cycle. It may be ruined, unclear.

I think I am taking myself out for lunch.

Punishingly Intricate

I hate when people only clear off enough snow so that they can see, but still leave stuff on that messes with you.

OH it ENRAGES ME!!!

Huh, it doesn't really bother me, but then I try to keep a couple of car lengths from the car in front of me when I'm at speeds where the snow would fly back that far. It does make the tailgaters back off.

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 clean most of it off but will admit to sometimes leaving the snowhawk when I can't reach.

Phil thought it was What the face or Why the face or something like that.

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

I've had large chunks of snow and ice hit me in the windshield when I wasn't driving particularly close enough times that I don't do it to anyone else.

Well, okay, I don't do winter, but you know what I mean. I also cleared snow off my hood and boot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One upside to home sick? I finally got to have the grilled cheese and tomato soup I wanted for lunch yesterday. Downside? I had to make it myself.

Because books.

Leaving snow on the roof is also not a great thing if you have to stop short, and it all slides down the windshield. Because then you can't see.

People who don't thoroughly clean off their cars enrage me.
