We always used the blown out match trick to get the tick to let go.
I thought that you weren't supposed to do that now, because if the tick is carrying Lyme disease, then the heat makes it more likely to release the bacteria into the blood.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, it's that time of the year again. When the radiofrequency ablation wears off. Maybe that's why the past few weeks have been so crap. But there was a discrete, quantum moment just now where I could feel one of my trigger points...trigger without external stimulation or any movement at all. So I'm on the phone making an appointment with the pain management clinic.

Back when I was around dogs that could have ticks, we were still thrilled at the idea of color TV, and we eavesdropped on our neighbors over the party line.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Am doing well, despite getting 5 hours of sleep at most. (Didn't get home until after 12:30 am from the concert, and it was around 1:30 when I turned out my light. Alarm went off at 6:30, as usual.) It'll probably hit me tomorrow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I read this as "Timelines all!" and was like, "Shut up, Facebook!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes.
