It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Trust my rage

I should add, it wasn't the metal detecting that was weird. But the guy just sort of charged in to the play area, under the equipment, sort of displacing kids as he went b

To me, that story is an example of how I "know" something is likely fine, but I still "felt" I intruded upon.

Yeah, in that case, he's being a rudesby and requires a Glower of Doom and a pointed, "EXCUSE ME???"

Makes me wonder if he'd lost something, but STILL. An explanation would be good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I kind of like that there are places where adults must be accompanied by a child just because there are so many places where children must be accompanied by an adult.

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

Ugh. I've hit a wall getting meds again. This is so frustrating.

There are some public library kids' sections that don't allow adults without children. In our town's library, I can't see why anyone would want to - it's all tiny furniture and the computers are restricted to only some educational games - but the article I read about it showed a really beautiful children's area and adults wanted to sit and read there.

I did a 10-day tour of Turkey with a group of archaeologists and my friend Deb found coins on 2 different sites (nothing special, just bronze Byzantine stuff, but still! She had the eye.) But in some areas metal detectorists are pretty hazardous for archaeological sites.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My neck and shoulder area is bugging me, and I have a feeling the neck stretching exercises my doctor gave me won't help much.

Well bless. I guess I'm more lactose intolerant than I realized. For some reason I had a craving for cereal this afternoon, so I snitched some of CJ's and poured on the milk (2%). My tummy has not been happy since.

I am ok with cheese and yogurt, but I will rarely go for a bowl of ice cream or a glass of milk. Weird.
