Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, she doesn't observe it, but her original birth certificate is a lie, doctor dated it wrong

That's fucking creepy, that's what that is.

Hmmm?

My mother's birth certificate says April, but she was born in June. She's also not sure what year she was born in. The woman who filled out her birth certificate was a bit...willful. My mother got off kinda easily, except she fills out forms nowadays with her assumed right birthday, so nothing can actually be verified. Which drives everyone batshit. Her younger sister had her birth certificate filled out with a different name from what her mother intended, which was infinitely more annoying but easier to address, when she eventually got around to it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Is one of NPH's kids a girl and the other a boy?

So Wikipedia tells me. Uh, not that I've spent a lot of time today researching NPH and his adorable family.

Hey ita, I just realized the other day that I didn't send you the instructions for the acupressure wrist bands. (Did you get them, btw?) I have no idea where the instruction booklet is, but the way you position them is: put your three middle fingers on your arm, just below your wrist (so your ring finger is right up against the line between your hand and your arm). Directly underneath your index finger, in the channel between your two central tendons (right in the center of your arm), is where you place the button on the band, facing downward. Does that make sense?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes, but I also know anniversary year gifts, And most of the other birthstones. And a lot of time zones. I think from reading the "useful" pages in my mom's pocket calendar when I ran out of things to read.

Ahahaha yes! Only in my case, it was the weird reference material (almanacs, books of lists, record books, etc etc) that were the only thing to read when I was stuck at Grandma's for weeks at a time.

Also, I am pretty sure in the 70's fakeish birthstone jewelry was in as a gift for young girls.

Also this.

Always Anti-fascist!

sj, from way back, I don't often give up shows for those kinds of storylines, but I think I did with Nip/Tuck. Do like Keith Olbermann(Calli, I know. I know things about the human form I can't erase now...that and twenty million random baseball factoids.) and write them a long letter telling them where they went wrong...KO actually befriends people people that way...Ken Burns, Aaron Sorkin, Entertainment Weekly...I actually got to read that one. EW listed Dan& Keith's SC as an Earthshattering moment in television or something and he kind of berated them for not choosing "harvest of Shame" instead. At some length. He was probably right, but most people say "Thanks."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's fucking creepy, that's what that is.

Maybe it happens a lot and nobody notices. Mom's got fixed right away because that original wrong date would have been after the paperwork was filed, so they amended it to what Grandma said it should say.

Always Anti-fascist!

My great-grandma(The NA one) had an error on her birth certificate, which my mom discovered trying to get her tribal card. the lady in Oklahoma said Great Grandma Gentry would have to sign off to have it corrected. my mom probably didn't help her case offering to dig her up.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I was reading something this morning about someone who was born during a blackout so they didn't know which actual day. (Christmas v. the day after, and they went with Xmas. Craxy.)

On another matter -

There is such a thing as over-explaining. In a resume I was reviewing earlier:

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a global IT company.

ORLY?

Because books.

brenda, I sent you email earlier. To the Gmail address.

Speaking of which, are they rolling out the new Gmail slowly? I don't have it, unless they mean the "new" one I adopted over a year ago or more.

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is a global IT company.

The things you learn! @@

I've not heard of a new Gmail. I remember when it started trying to sort out my important e-mails for me, but that was a while ago.
