Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oi. Futures is Nature's short-fiction section. I'm not defending it. There's a fine, fine, fine line and I'm still reading the comments. And, oi.
ETA - I should add that I haven't actually succeeded in reading the story itself all the way through. My eyes keep sliding off of it.

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

Huh, me too. Something about the rampant sexism and horrible writing keeps turning me off.
FlyLady wants me to make two casseroles at once and keep one in the freezer. In theory, this is a good idea. In practice, it means what she really wants me to do is organize my freezer so there's room for a casserole in there. Which ain't gonna happen.

I can't see Flylady working for my household unless my DH is on board since I am not going to suddenly be the one responsible for directing the cleaning traffic. I have issues when he tries to get me to be the person who remembers everything.

WORD. Or to be the person who schedules everything. But I have issues.
This last round of stress and anxiety (changing schools, nursing issues etc) was actually handled by K and not me, thus making this a bit better than usual.

I love Vicks. I love it even more now that I know that the eucalyptus in it makes it a good anti-fungal as well as everything else it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the comment on the story by Katrina Stein. Perfectly acceptable escalation in my books.
