Tom, have you seen a doctor? Because I'm worried, there's been a recurrence of whooping cough around here and the vaccines actually do wear off, so. Three nights of no sleep merits at least prescription cough drugs (and yes, codeine works like a charm) and a doctor checking for pneumonia and other lung irritants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Definitely go to the doctor, Tom! When I had a bad cold/flu (depending on who you ask), I didn't get codeine, but whatever the stuff was I got, it worked brilliantly as far as sleeping went.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I could call Hubby and plead pathetically for my big strong Hubby to come save me.
Well, I tend to ask Tom for help on stuff I am pretty sure I could take care of myself, because the two of us together tends to be greater than the sum of our parts. However, when I ripped the front bumper off the car the same day Tom's mom died, I dealt with that solo. (If they'd been able to fix it that afternoon, he'd never even known!)

It does. And if you don't want codeine or the doctor doesn't want to prescribe it, then ask for Tessalon Pearls. They are MAGIC. And non-narcotic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Somehow MacGyver came up in art class yesterday, and they needed to know who played him. This time, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, and the general response was "Hey! 70s action stars for $100, Alex!" And I'm all "70s?" and "Sure, if they then go on to be my TV husband, yes I know them..."
Then the discussion went on to if Jeopardy is filmed in LA, and the decision was that it must, because White Men Can't Jump was set in Venice, and therefore...
So, yeah, there are some potential geeks in that room, and some very not.

I didn't realize that adults could get whooping cough. . . not sure why I thought we were exempt.

That's totally what I was talking about! Or some version -- definitely a clear yellow liquid capsule situation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Potato removed from clergyman's anus
"He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato," said Sheffield, England A&E nurse Trudi Watson. "But it's not for me to question his story."
You know, it's for this very reason I never leave potatoes on the kitchen table. Just an accident waiting to happen.
