On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I find it very interesting to wonder what deep societal psychic angst is being expressed by all the zombie preparation stuff.

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

Hopefully that's "save for its ground floor and the bathroom"

And if not, then hopefully at least the bathroom pipes are not transparent.

Coding and Sleeping

I want one of these. I don't care that it's impracticable and probably very expensive.

Well, you wouldn't be able to throw stones for one thing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Also, does anyone have a medical reason for why your mother is falling?

Good point. I remember that, for my mom and others, falling and other indications of steep declines in physical abilities often was an indication of a UTI. Can they test her for that?

Oh, good call. I'll text the nurse.

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

Most supershort haircuts are slightly longer on top (relative to the sides and back) anyway.

Perhaps, but not mine. So it's new to consider. I've had a full on high top fade, but that was a) a long time ago, and b) high. I didn't let it grow out much.

Sort of like vampires had a resurgence in popularity around the time that AIDS became a widely known issue. Perhaps zombies are a reaction to our current mindless production of CO2 that may eventually destroy civilization as we know it.

If it is a UTI, perhaps a follow-up text asking why they're charging for high-end care while leaving medical troubleshooting to you and your friends would be in order. Seriously, "Old people, well, you know, they fall down a lot," isn't a great mindset for an elderly care facility.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, you wouldn't be able to throw stones for one thing.

You could, but they say you shouldn't. Judgment call, I'd say.

To be fair, they're not supposed to be charging us for the highest level of care. At least not until this point.
