'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"
A friend of mine, vegan for the past 20 years and a competitive runner for her age group, was diagnosed with diabetes a while back. She comforts herself that not only does she have less trouble than many newly diagnosed with it about making changes to diet and "lifestyle" but that perhaps she'd have come down with it many years earlier if not for all the "correct things" she was already habitually doing.
When I start to reflexively "blame" the afflicted for bad choices I try to remember her.

Is that where they get their whole "abortion causes cancer" thing? Oy.
I'm pretty sure that one's just a lie. (IIRC, the myth predates the research.)
Fuck cancer.
I thought Obama's speech last night was fantastic. I'm always kind of cynical about his public speaking (it can't POSSIBLY be as good as they say it is!), and he almost always proves me wrong.

If behavior and lifestyle were true fact causes for disease and health issues, I would have more than just high cholesterol and shitty muscles, I'll tell you what.

I don't know that song!!!! I am really glad, because I am an earworm magnet. Although, that line somehow got the Cheers themsong in my head.
You know what is the worst? Going to work and being unsure or not whether there is a cat pee small on your clothes. And I have to work for another 11 hours!

Oh yeah. I've been having that problem with shoes, and you know what doesn't work? Sticking your nose right into shoes to see if they smell bad.....
I bet there's not, though.
I wanna see, wanna see them dancing

I just remembered I have coconut oil, which makes me smell like macaroons. So I just put that on.
