It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, Casper! I loved camp.

I have been watching Glee and OMG! Did Quinn have some sort of mental breakdown that she just got over between episodes?

Yeah, pretty much.

Zenkitty, I vote hotel. I forget where you are, exactly, but I would look at Hotwire and then go to Priceline and put in a lower number.

I wished I was in a hotel last night, because my a/c is noisy and my cat was poking my face constantly all night. I would love one solid night of good sleep.

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

I'm trying to work out what this style of necklace: [link] is called. Image googling "breastplate necklace" gives decent but not convincing results. There are also a lot of results that aren't the specific rows of parallel beads in a slight or perhaps pointedly segmented vee shape.

Unsurprisingly, there is a fair amount of "ooh, add feathers and it's TRIBAL" hits too.

And...I'm having the dosage argument again. Apparently it's "not in my file". Since December. Which...my migraine specialist called the head of the ER. He restated his recommendations. I was admitted so they could monitor me while giving the recommended dosage and gave it the all all clear.

I can't look in my file. All I know about what's in it is the contradictory things people tell me. I don't know who can read and who can't.

And I know the previous nurse who wouldn't tell me the footage was being cagey. Are you allowed to keep that info from an adult in charge of medical decisions? Good luck hoping for a placebo effect.

I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do here. I keep following the steps, but it's a dead end.

Does anyone know how to clear a cache on the iPhone? I am still having trouble with the quotes.

I am glad to know that Quinn seemed crazy and then not to others. Also how do they have so many coaches and seemingly no music teacher?

I know you don't have time or effort to fight this battle, but you can request the medical file from the hospital and they have to provide what is in there, except for the social worker and possibly psychologist, but I'm not 100% sure on that. The file requests happen at a 9-5 kind of office. I have their fax to fax the written request -- (310) 825-3356 but I can't remember where they are -- somewhere in the basement, by the pharmacy. They charged us $15.

Thanks, Kat. It's one of those visits where they keep saying "always" and "never", which seems to mean "according to the first two pages of your records". The attending did read it, and now I think we're waiting to hear from my migraine specialist. So sure he'll be replying any time now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so last week, I was in an apt complex office, and they had a sign over the agent's shoulder that said "perspective tenants."

That sign was bothering me, so after 5 minutes I told the person helping us: "Just fyi, but the sign should say 'prospective', not 'perspective.'" She replied, "oh really, I didn't know about that."

Ugh.

Beau laughed at me and said: "you should have known better than to point out that error. they weren't going to do anything about it."

but I couldn't help myself. the pre- pro- bug BOTHERS me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Bothers me, too. At least the Beaty Spa around the corner from here fixed their sign... eventually.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh dear. I think that sign would make me itch.
