Trudy, I'm glad you guys went and had fun. I love those moments as a parents: having fun despite bad/crazy/gross stuff happening.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm glad to hear you outgrew it, sj!
More like grew up and went on lots of strong acid reflux meds.

Trudy,
I somewhat outgrew it. I am thinking though that as an adult, I now have strategies to deal with carsickness so it isn't much of an issue:
a) I eat some (not a lot) before getting in a car
b) I always drive (as a passenger I would be near throwing up all the time I think)
c) and if I cannot drive, I use wristbands which help

Our wings are not tired.
I was carsick all the time at that age.
I was too, but I think perhaps discovering I could not read in the car helped. I still can't read in the car without feeling woozy.

I can't read in cars or any other moving vehicles, which really makes plane rides annoying.

As a kid I read all the time but now it makes me sick. Even using my phone makes me sick but other than that, I'm usually fine.

I have no problem in planes as long as there is not heavy turbulence.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm kind of irritated that it didn't rain. I could have gone to another parade! But then I have to admit that the effort involved probably would have been too much. But then I see that other people are out getting fun and I get sulky.
Brains are weird. I had part of a stuffed artichoke for dinner, though, so the brain can suck it.

TCG read every time we were on a train on our UK trip, and I was so jealous.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Why is my sternum super sore and tender to the touch? I'm quite certain I haven't been doing chest compressions on myself in my sleep...
