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?

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

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.)

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.

If you need more brownies you could try adding more sugar, flour and oil, but getting the proportions right would be tricky.

I think I'll try Sue's suggestion. I'm not dressed to leave the house anymore.
