I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

The stockpile is where I stop feeling impressed with the whacko couponers. Well, it's more the fact that they are still at the store anyway, whether they need anything or not. And, like Allyson, I'm thinking how you can't stockpile fresh things.

Art Crawl!!!

I wonder if allowing the hunter to use a dog to find the injured would help?

(It helps bird hunters.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I wish I had done it earlier instead of trying to tough it out.

I think I was so (relatively) young, gynos before my Beloved Gyno didn't bring it up because of COURSE I would regret not being able to have children if I had it done in my early 30's.

She was all "Do you want kids?"

"Nope."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep."

"All right then, let's yank this crap out. You will feel SO much better."

And I did. The first day after my full hyst, I was miserable, largely because of the unexpected difficulty of the removal, but I was walking a day after and healed up great. Of course, my doc doesn't believe in stoicism -- she was all "If you are in pain, really, take the Vicodin. Pain prevents the body from healing faster" and I was all "Sister, you do NOT have to tell me."

I stayed stoned for about 5 days after and slept a lot, tried to get up and walk around the block of my folks house once a day and I think that's what got me back in trim so soon. I am a firm believer in the healing power of SLEEP.

22 days after my hysterectomy, I went on a blind date, and met my future husband, and am a stepmom. No regrets.

Ha! I'm not an astrology person, but the career portion of today's horoscope reads

"Deep, gradual changes are happening, and you're nothing if not in tune with them. You may need to help someone else become equally at ease."

O RLY?!

Hee. For once, it's right (I know, I know -- statistical probability. But it amused me.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm really hoping this migraine is not a reaction to anything I ate at the food truck rally. Maybe the weather is to blame. Ugh.

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

Awww, you guys, I just saw a vid of the guy in NY who gave up his life savings to the rapture being taunted in Times Square. He seems so confused and broken. I wish I could bring him a sandwich.

Meep. My sister called from the road back up to Milwaukee. Apparently the highway to O'Hare is all screwed up because there are cattle all over the road. (Truck overturned I guess, sad.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Maybe the Rapture did happen after all--and the people who were raptured consists entirely of the folks who run the grilled cheese truck and french fry truck

I remain agnostic on the question of the Apple people, but of course if anyone's going to be bodily assumed into heaven, who brings more pure uncomplicated joy into the world than the grilled cheese and french fry truck people?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
