Dear plants: STOP HAVING SEX.
Are you people sure that trepanation is a bad plan? 'Cos it's sounding really attractive right now.
Trepanation in this case would result in snot all over the floor, walls and ceiling.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Somebody needs to invent a roto-rooter for sinuses.
My dad had his sinuses rooted. Now he can't really smell anymore. I consider this an unsatisfying tradeoff.

I am on board with trepanation.

Hubby has had his sinuses roto-rootered. He was not happy about it. I think only the bilateral retrograde for his kidney stones was worse.
ION, today's unshelved.com comic is very sweet. All this week, the Head Librarian has been lecturing Dewey on proper dress in the workplace.

Okay, that I don't want. I just want to be able to breathe! And have my throat stop itching!

This is the part where I pop my head up and suggest nasal saline a couple times a day. Because it helps flush the nasty pollens out so there's less irritation.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Are there reasons to take it now that there weren't in 2009?
At the time I had a 1/2 time regular gig that gave me relatively solid financial footing for the freelance design career and a summer gig that I've been doing for ages, both of which I would've had to quit. A month or two after not applying for the full time job, the theatre with my 1/2 time job folded. And a few months ago I decided to quit the summer job. Those weren't the only factors, but they are a big part of the financial picture.

This. I'm seriously considering having the local trees spayed and neutered.
Or investing in a diving helmet. Still, this year is about 100x better than last year. When I can remember to get my antihistamine where it belongs, and not in my eyes.

Why did you quit the Summer gig?

Ooh, that sounds pretty exciting then, aurelia! And if you've got a guy on the inside rooting for you, bonus!
I'm fighting with my gym, because I signed up for personal trainer sessions, and then they changed companies, and now it's all a mess. I was paying one price, but now they charge a different one, and no one can figure out how to convert...ugh.
