Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

I'm still amazed by just how sloppy that track was. It was liquid.

Thrive to spite them

Growing up my Mom's rule for birthdays was to only invite guests equal to my age plus 1. I don't think there was a big - invite everyone from the class push and she didn't do the invites during class (I don't know I'm vague on it all). But it worked for me because I didn't like big crowds.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For the fizzy water people, are you using bottled water or tap water? Our tap water is pretty hard, and I'm wondering how that would affect the process.

I use tap water, and ours is exceptionally hard, and it hasn't been a problem at all.

Oh, good news, Gar! I'm so glad for you.

I went running this morning and now I'm going climbing but I got chilled and all I really want to do is huddle under a blanket. Bah.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, Steph, I wanted to ask you -- someone I know has just been prescribed Cymbalta (active ingredient: duloxetine) for intermittent bouts of depression. I've been doing a bit of research into it, try and work out if it's a good choice of AD and what they should look out for. Do you know anything about it?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What is in tonic that makes a diet version necessary? I don't do fizzy (soft) drinks, so I am unfamiliar with this stuff.

So... yesterday I bought a car and teched a show.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What kind of car? What show?

Because books.

A car! Awesome.

This is wild. Although the second person to draw the line sort of threw the whole thing.

The status is NOT quo.

Cymbalta made me crazy and kind of catatonic, but the joy of these meds is that what works for one person is utterly ineffective for someone else. It's just trial and error.
