Yes, I noticed a few years ago that nobody was saying Advil any more.

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I spent a couple thousand dollars on plane tickets for the holidays, and then crashed. I woke up this morning feeling like I got drunk and had a regrettable one night stand with my credit card.
Hahahaha... I wish I could say I don't know what that feels like. We had to impose austerity measures for a few weeks after buying tickets to LA (visiting my brother), Philly (my cousin's wedding), and MA (home for Thanksgiving), and suddenly realizing we'd run through the entirety of our bank balance cushion. And we still haven't bought my ticket to OKC for Christmas...
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone! I had a fantastic day, full of happiness and pie, and to top it all off, not one but two of my friends gave birth yesterday, so I now share my birthday with two healthy and gorgeous new human beings. Couldn't have been a better day, except if it had been a Friday instead of a Monday. I, too, long to be Occupying My Couch at the moment.
And happy birthday to brenda!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just would always call ibuprofen Advil
I call ibuprofen ibuprofen.
My lord, I'm so bleary. I'm totally "hearing" things on this con call. My mind is wandering so far.
Happy birthday, brenda!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes, I noticed a few years ago that nobody was saying Advil any more.
Really? I mean, I would also say ibuprofen, but if I were picking a brand, it would not be Motrin.

I'd probably think of Advil before Motrin, but I actually could not have told you that either one was ibuprofen. Long years of loyalty to naproxen sodium, I guess.
That is SO COOL!
I know! I was hoping at least one of them would be born yesterday, but it was starting to seem like a long shot. Then we got the announcements this morning, and yay new babies!
ION, I realized a few days ago that I'd finally run through most of the items on my long-standing to-do list, so I started to make a new one this morning, and now I wish I hadn't. I liked that feeling of accomplishment while it lasted.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay babies with cool birthdays!
I still want a "Keep Calm and Call the Doctor" shirt or mug.
Maybe they think it's K-ville, and they're camping out for basketball tickets?
Ahahaha. Never gets old.

My sister and I both have a crush on the surgeon who worked on my mother's cancer. That's not weird, is it?
Okay, cannot breathe. Totally congested. Please send help.

Congestion is up there on my list of worst things in life.
AWB is so charming, he almost makes me want to have another one. Then I remember that babies grow up and turn into kids. And kids will kill you.
