Timelies all!
Had a nice day. Met some friends for lunch and a museum. Went to my brother's place to see him and his family. Tomorrow we meet some other friends for lunch, and take a 6 pm train back home.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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

Trust my rage
I have had serious adobe/lion problems which has led me to research a bunch on Lion compatibility. I think the thing with Quicken was - some (or all?) older versions of Quicken would no longer work. There is a new version that does work with Lion, but it doesn't have all the features that the old one did (like something about tracking investments that I skimmed).
So, if your needs are basic, there is no Lion/Quicken problem. But if you are using an older version or care about some special, but maybe important features, beware.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've got 10+ years of Quicken records, so it's important to me. But no investment (ha!) tracking, so I'm probably OK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I would feel more virtuous about getting up this morning for the walk, except that one of the women I was at dinner with last night is I think already in the midst of the triathlon she's doing today.

not your mom's socks.
Jesse - getting up is very virtuous! See also, moving about.
For Jilli - wish the teleporter worked: A local museum here has Bram Stoker's original research notes and outlines for Dracula and has a heap of events each October for Dracfest [link]
I just looked up the Liars Club. They're fairly serious about themselves, yes?
They're a fun bunch. I can vouch for most of them.
It's just called Philly Lit Night
ah! Sounds fun!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Female protesters getting maced by police at Occupy Wall Street protest: [link] It's hard with these little clips to get any context, but it's hard to see what could have legitimately provoked the use of mace in this instance.

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
My head feels like gimlet.

Sick. I'm sick. My asthma has flared. I can't breathe sitting up. I can't breathe horizontally. Ok, I can, kinda. But I have absolutely zero energy.

Allyson, did you ever ask your doctor about getting actual IBS meds? I meant to ask you that a week ago, but apparently I only did so inside my head.
