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

Gah. I found a jury duty form in my mail. Luckily not too late. And I found a Christmas card from one of my favourite fanartists, so that's nice. I have put off jury duty until April. Seemed a reasonable amount of time in the future. Not in the middle of any projects already started. I wonder if I get paid for jury duty...

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

wow, going out without mac was EXACTLY what I needed. Beer and wings did not hurt either. The King's Speech, EXCELLENT!

And Grandma get a million gold stars, because not only did she take mac to a movie and not allow any candy, BUT she got him to agree to a haircut and took him for one. (he took scissors to his hair on Thursday night)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like an extremely successful day all around!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I'm glad I forced myself to get up and go to breakfast this morning. I have a standing date on Sat. mornings but have been missing it lately due to low funds and lingering sickness. My landlady is one of the group and she told me that my license tags were about to expire. I have until Monday to renew!

I got the notice in the mail and forgot it. Wow.

I have to get my car smogged. My tags have expired, but at least they let me send my paperwork in. The only remaining step is car to smog place.

This sounds provacative!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

After CJ got home from working at the dojo, he was invited over to a friend's house for the evening. CJ and at least 4 14-yer old girls. He dressed a little nicer than usual and he smelled good. Acccckkkkkk.

I went out without him, wandered the game store and ended up with a puzzle. I also got the car washed. After the discussion here recently, I realized I didn't recall when I got it washed last so it had to be time. Then I made the mistake of going to Whole Paycheck.

Somewhere in the last 30 minutes of being out my headache came back with a vengeance. No fair!

And, separately, I have a hivemind question. I got a question from a childhood friend of mine who currently lives in Israel. I'm hoping y'all can help me find an answer...

"Can you please help me figure out which US state has the best medical care for uninsured people with a pre-existing condition?"
