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 really can't take the pain in my stomach anymore. It never really goes away.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm sorry, Allyson, that's just miserable. What do the doctors say?

They say, SUCK IT UP, BITCH.

But you know, less nice than that.

Nah, all those letters to Sully seem less angry than mine did. I'm glad I wasn't the only one pinged by, "women shouldn't do things that men can do if it makes men feel uncomfortable."

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

Allyson, why are you going to my doctors? That's not a good idea.

There was a cricket in the basement. Was, because Loki, in the 2 minutes it took to take out the recycling, found it and brought it (and several cobwebs) upstairs. Thaaaaanks, cat. I guess I'll just let him play with it. He likes is almost as much as his battered toy mice.

Allyson, I'm sorry. They gave my brother liquid lidocaine to drink when he had the bleeding ulcers. Tasted like ass, but helped. But that may be a different kind of pain.

Only time my first name has ever been nicked was abroad, due to grammatical declensions. One version morphed into Sarge, which you can imagine I just loved. Oh, and there was Stella, but I still have no idea how that came about.

Because books.

Allyson, what is the diagnosis, IBS alone? I think it's time for a gastroenterologist, or just a new doctor or second opinion in general.

So the Twitter drama in Halifax today is a guy desperately tweeting for help to get a cat off a roof that been stuck for days. (It's not even his cat.) Neither, animal control nor the fire dept. would help. I guess some roofer is up there now, in the dark and has finally got the kitty.

I got whipped cream on my smoothie today, and my stomach is much happier. Don't know about my arteries, though.

Took a near-complete break from the project from hell today. I am going to pay for that tomorrow. Yikes. But I had to. Yesterday ate me starting from my bottom.

Really? I always wanted to see a firefighter getting a cat out of a tree or whatever.
