Is that the same Yvonne who is also my former coworker? Because it is the first day of the semester over there....
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yay Allyson!
Depending on the type and stage of cancer, I might consider foregoing treatment. After watching Mom deal with chemo for late stage ovarian cancer, I decided I'd probably go for palliative treatment if I were in a similar situation. But I'd tell any partners what was happening. And I wouldn't go with the theory that bee pollen and mega-doses of vitamin C would work in place of cisplatin.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, is it weird that I kind of appreciate that I just saw a Domino's ad with a store employee whose gender was ambiguous to me?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
then there are the people who hate "BigPharma" because they are only about profit and money and then turn around and spend tons of money on fake treatments.
And let's not forget that fake medicine is also a billion-dollar industry. It turns out you can make a lot more money when you don't have to prove that your products actually do anything. (Or, in the case of homeopathy, when the whole point is to guarantee that your products contain nothing at all.)
Allyson, your car! Yay! BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE INTERWEBS!

Thrive to spite them
And it's not just fake supplements it's also fake gadgets. Like Zappers, EMF protectors. Miracle things that make your water "forget" it's water memory.

Hah! I've seen that ad, and was quite pleased.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yay Allyson!
Does anyone remember a continuation of "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" saying something like "it will only frustrate you and annoy the dog"? Or something like that?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Does anyone remember a continuation of "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" saying something like "it will only frustrate you and annoy the dog"? Or something like that?
I thought the "frustrate you/annoy the [animal]" went with "You can't teach a pig to whistle."
