I don't get to have regular meatspace contact with any of the Buffistas thanks to geography and workaholism, so I guess finding out about my eventual untimely end will have to be a matter of someone noticing I haven't posted in Boxed Set in weeks and checking up on me.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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 piece on how people report (or don't report) pain: [link]

megan walker knows my brother, so she'd likely be the first to hear of my passing.
Seeing him this weekend in fact! I'll be sure to tell him he needs to report to me ASAP if you go to that big pink refrigerator in the sky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't read that at work. It's making me too upset.
Last time I went into the ER, the nurse didn't ask me where I was on the pain scale to start off with. He just suggested ten. I've mentioned to at least one nurse I have a migraine pain scale (which goes to 11), and it's not the same one I use for other stuff.
BTW, I totally get that woman's reticence, even if not *all* of the vanity. I hide my bruises because I don't want to talk about them. I know they look bad aesthetically. I look bad. End of story.

No, no. I have to keep reading stuff like that. I just get emotional, and that's my shortcoming.

They did link to a paper that discusses a new technique for recognizing pain through MRI. It's a neurology study, I think. They're getting closer to being able to "see" pain. So, in lieu of actually fixing you, hopefully you'll be able to produce an MRI at emergency that shows the storm in your brain and ask them if they could handle it, or wouldn't they like to STFU and give you your meds, now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I did know about the duck corkscrew penises, yes.
Did you know about the Argentinian lake duck corkscrew penises?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
One of them will also tell you when I become vampire witch queen of the universe, but I figure the pillar of fire and Clovis rampaging around in the giant MechaBunny may clue some folks in.
I'll tell people. After I'm also a vampire and find out if flying is a gift with purchase. So basically I'll do it but not immediately because my to do list post-vamping isn't getting any shorter.
The post will probably talk about clicky fire, how much I miss string cheese and, oh, Jilli is the vampire witch queen now. And then asking Tep if this is going to affect my allergy meds. You know, normal stuff.
