The fire dept guy said "You've never seen a cat skeleton on a roof, he'll find his own way down." And I guess someone else tried calling the city the day before. The cat has been named Bonehead, after a local barbecue restaurant who arranged for a guy in a cherry picker to try to rescue the cat earlier in the day. Unfortunately, the cherry picker couldn't reach the cat because of the power lines.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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
It's just IBS. They did an MRI and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I thought it was odd to lose so much weight (I'm down 22lbs since I was diagnosed) but an internet search found that it's pretty common to drop it. I haven't been careful enough with my eating. When I'm in this much pain, it's hard to focus and I feel strange, like I'm about to nod off. It's weird, the only way I can describe it is angry hornets inside my stomach. My stomach bloats and feels tender. I'm sure, oddly enough, that I'm healthier in a lot of ways because of the weight loss. Despite the pain.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had a teacher in high school who called me "Sherry". (This usually led to me being serenaded with either "Oh, Sherry" or "Sherry Baby") She's the only one who did that, thankfully.

Because books.
They haven't thought about any medication for you?

Prilosec. And peppermint. And fiber supplements. Peppermint does help, as does oatmeal in the morning.
Right now, I just want to stretch out on my bed and breathe. And sleep. And hope that the worst is gone by morning. I hate the inability to focus the most.
In other news, don't read the #hpv hash tag. The crazy is breathtaking.

I'm so sorry. Are you still smoking? I know it's said that can make it worse. (Not that I've stopped, of course.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I skipped and skimmed like mad. Did I miss anything important? If so, ~ma to any who need it.
Right now I need cooking advice. Does anyone know a quick trick for stretching brownie batter. I have a mix - Betty Crocker Gluten-Free - and after I mixed it I thought "my pan is too big!". This is for a company thing tomorrow so I need to make the brownies and the mix is mixed. But my pan is 9 x 13.
Any ideas? Bueller?

Quester, you could try using foil to cut the pan in half, making a foil pan inside the pan and making sure the foil only was quadruple or quintuple strength.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
quester, I'm afraid the only possible solution is to buy more brownie mix.

Smoking definitely makes it worse. I had planned to quit while Kristen was in Toronto...but then the car thing happened and I cried a lot. I couldn't have one more stressor.
