Audible Epithet could be a band name.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Myself I would appreciate an emergency kit, since I'm shopping them right now. The kind of thing everyone could use but doesn't want to invest in. Not terribly romantic though.
I think that makes it kind of perfect for a generic office gift, but I guess it's not all fun, and maybe that would be better....

I got one of those 5 year anniversary things from work this year where you select from a big catalog and instead of a diamond bracelet or crystal bowl or whatnot I picked the car emergency kit.
[I picked the girly pink one even, because that came with a mini, car-charged dustbuster while the manly black one didn't. On the plus side it's also a lot easier to spot in the back of the trunk.]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This is one of the weirder campaign ads I've seen. Don't vote for the other guy! He's got a bunch of degrees from well-known universities, and he eats corn dogs!
Who knew the Information Age would include a resurgence of the Dark Ages?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My wounds are often visibly healed before the adjacent adhesive wounds are gone. Bodies are so weird. As are the ways we choose to try and heal them.
I sometimes think poorly of humanity. This is not one of those times. This is one of those times when I think we are so breath-takingly amazing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whatever code the Gawker network is using for their article pages isn't compatible with my browser, so fuck 'em. I mostly miss their version of natter anyway, and am getting by just fine without it.
Some of the bandages they'd put on my neck (what I thought were normal band aids) after getting IV access into the external jugular would tear my skin coming off and leave me with blisters that I then had to cover with some sort of bandaging because it was too raw to rist touching anything. Luckily that didn't recurse all the way to me not having any flesh left.
The amount of bandaging that goes on and off the portacath site regularly. Good lord. I am surprised it's not rawer.

Lights are on across the street! Maybe my side will have power sooner than expected.
Mum wants to pick me up and take me and the cats back to NH until NJ sorts itself out. She also needs help with yard work.

Didn't some group do something similar with...maybe computer kiosks in India? Having a hard time working out where I saw/read that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Fingers crossed you get power back soon, Juliebird.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my friends in NJ has been going nuts because, with the particular combination of downed trees and downed power lines in her neighborhood, they need the tree people and the power people to be there at the same time and coordinate things in order to get power back. She was watching out her window all morning as the tree guys came, waited around for a while, then left, then the power guys came, waited around for a while, then left, and then the tree guys came back, etc.
