Oh, nut-shot guy's IO9 suspension wore off, and he's back and telling me no professionals would ever endorse overwhelming force like a crotch strike as a means of self defense.
Stay golden, nutshot boy. Stay golden.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I also have a confession: The vet left me a voicemail saying my cat's bloodwork results were all good, and actually his bloodwork was "phenomenal" for his age. So of course, I turned to the cat and said, "Phenomenal kitten, that's you."

Jilly, you should probably test an inconspicuous place, but I've not had a problem. I just put rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and then dampened the outside of the shoe with it. If the shoe hasn't stretched enough by the time it dries, do it again. The origin is lost in the mists of time, but I think a shoe guy told me that worked the same as Shoe Stretch.

Heh. You know there's a song called "Phenomenal Cat" by the Kinks, right?

Of course I don't. That might have been more appropriate than the Maya take-off.

Gott Damm, these banana bread muffins smell good.
(I put butterscotch chips in them.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This was exactly the link I needed to help me bow out of the nut-shot discussion without making a grab for last word: [link]
Please god, let no one ever level that at me.
I will kill you, I swear. I have a knife in my bag right now.

When my daughter tells me she hates me I'm going to eat a whole cake myself.

So the hardware issue this morning? Fried motherboard. So that failover procedure we've been wanting to develop but haven't had the time or resources for? Yeah, it got put together today on the fly.
It was a Monday of epic proportions.

That sounds awfully epic, sarameg. Wow.
I too have heard of rubbing alcohol for stretching shoes. Also, broomstick.
I have watermelon. It is delicious! I also have very painful calves. WTF, legs? I mean, I walked a lot yesterday, but still! Why so ridiculously pained? I wasn't, like, stretching up on my toes every minute to look over anyone or anything!
