Sue, cobbler might be quicker. Don't waste yummy peaches.

It's more the state of my kitchen...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm really limited in the fruits I can eat without pain. The IBS has resulted in over twenty pounds of weight loss since I was diagnosed. Which, you know, I needed to lose it.

Just not by being in pain, I wish.

Also, I wish so much I could publicly thank Maria and her colleagues. If I didn't know her...I just don't know how I would have fared. There are these amazing people over there who went to the mat to help me and I really can't say anything. It's difficult. I want to send them all flowers and write their bosses and tell them they were kind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been hearing good things about this year's peaches, even from the supermarket, but I'm kind of allergic to stone fruits, so I avoid them. Also nasty fuzzy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Do peanut M&Ms count as fruit?

I would like to see your argument for that one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But afterwards, I stopped at the farmer's market and got some peaches.

Good man! I put you in second place behind flea.

Do peanut M&Ms count as fruit?

Bzzzt! Scrappy, I expect better from you. You know you cannot resist the allure of peanut M&Ms!

I want to send them all flowers and write their bosses and tell them they were kind.

Maybe a socket wrench set and a punch in the shoulder?

You can still write personal thank-you notes, Allyson.

I kept a file of student notes that never saw the light of day except when I was having shitastic days, that I pulled out to reassure myself "You don't suck."

You should definitely write thank you notes and cc their bosses! ...except if they don't fix your problem the bosses are the ones you're mad at, so...awkward.

Fruit Audit: Who's had a serving of fruit today?

I am eating breakfast a bit late, after getting up late and doing some work I walked to the coffee shop. I am having iced coffee, and then I heated up leftover quinoa with some skim milk, cinnamon, craisins, and maple syrup. Mmm.

Good call! oof. My head is made of dumb.

not your mom's socks.

Fruit: yes.

Math: no.

The peaches are awesome right now. And the blueberries. NOM.
