Growing old is horrible, Kat. I wake up some mornings and positively hobble to the bathroom. So depressing.
And we live to fight another day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This growing old thing SUCKS.
I'm pretty against it. It's not going so great.

Oh ita, do I need to bring over more Gatorade? I feel like maybe I should make it a regular habit, bringing over Gatorade and crackers once a week. Hell I'd bring chocolate brownie cupcakes except I don't know where to find them, and I'm not sure I could resist them long enough to transport them to your place.
My kids like to take watered down Gatorade in their lunches so it's become a regular grocery store purchase.
Growing old is a pain, that's for sure, but I tell myself it's better than the alternative. Of course, there's vampiredom, but I hear that's a hard path to break into.

I think I remember a story about John Adams going somewhere with some friends while in college to a place where they'd be exposed to someone with cowpox, in order to get some immunity to smallpox. But, yeah, a quarter of a millennium ago!

No, I think I have more than I can drink tonight, Burrell. Thanks for looking out, though.
Joe Frazier, RIP.

Well I mean, if you are pro pox party I'm not sure what your argument is against the vaccine. I mean, what is the argument against the chicken pox vaccine, that it can sometimes give kids a mild case of chicken pox? Dude, then I hate to tell you what happens when you expose your kid to the actual virus!
My one qualm about the vaccine is that it wears off at some point, and I would hate to set up my adult child to catch chicken pox later on in life just because we forgot to get a booster shot at some point.

Yeah, I probably need a booster shot, although I got the world's lamest adult chicken pox when I got the initial shot--I'm sure it wasn't enough to "take".

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I remember a book I read when I was a kid where the protagonist had three brothers and whenever any one of them got a contagious disease , their mother would deliberately expose them to it so they would all get sick at the same time. Mod course,nthis book was set in Utah in the late 1800s

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That book was part of The Great Brain series, Vortex. I remember it very well.
