Gah! Feel better, meara! I'm glad you went to the doctor.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Get better, meara!
Ladies and gentlemen, my little sister.
Get smarter, Little Cow!
Incidentally, your brother is now named Rebel Cow. In my mind, at least.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is not good fat burning! Stop it immediately! I hope the meds give you relief stat.
If you want to see the screwy duck penis in action, look here. What I hadn't realised until reading it on IO9 right now (although BT surely said so--it just never sunk in) is that the female duck's vagina corkscrews in the opposite direction, which is why the ejaculation is so explosive, and can tear through vaginal walls to get to its goal. However, I'm not sure how the female duck actually lets the right one in. What's the trick to surmounting that geometrical incompatibility?

You know what's not fun? Getting attacked by your own cat. Really, attacked is too strong a word because he doesn't aim to harm, just to intimidate. That's pretty hard to keep in my head when Oz is coming at me all puffed up and snarling. We were outside and a strange cat came through the fence. Oz immediately puffed up twice his size and went after him, and I was yelling at him to get away. Oz, to his credit, didn't follow him into the front yard, but he did remain freaked out. I walked too close to him about 10 minutes later and he went after me. I mostly remained calmed, but I did yell at him at first, until I remembered that will just escalate him.
Sigh, the vet was not wrong about him being territorial.
Of course, now he's lying on the floor, calm as anything.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
There is nothing that makes me feel more helpless and stupid than being unable to light my pilot. I'm frozen. My fingers are too cold to type. And I can't figure this shit out.

Yeah, I have a z-pack and albuterol now (though it's the first time I've used an inhaler, and I think it just got all over my tongue, even with the spacer). Plus my insurance is being whacky (in a bad way) about how much they're paying for prescriptions, so I have to call them Monday.
I can take sick time in theory, but I'm supposed to fly to Phoenix Tuesday evening. And there's a ton of stuff I didn't get done LAST week because I was sick...argh.
