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

Oy, you should at least win a stuffed penguin or something for the bingo. Some sort of skee-ball prize equivalent.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Malice is done. Good convention. Sleepy now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Several people I went to high school with are posting photos of their children dressed for prom. How are we old enough for that?

We're not. My sister was just visiting for lunch and we went to see a friend of hers from high school and he showed us prom pictures of his daughter. But that cannot be right.

Also, um, she decreed that it was Cinco de Mayo so we were having mexican food and a margarita. Food was okay. Margarita was both strong and kinda awesome. Now I want a nap.

And to know how doves survive evolution. They build the flimsiest nests in the worst locations.

Woo nurse is anti vax.

That is appalling. Not surprising, but appalling.

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

I can't tell if you just won or lost this round of Woo Bingo.

We're not.

Thank you! Of course I'm completely ignoring the classmate who has posted photos of a grandchild.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I can't tell if you just won or lost this round of Woo Bingo.

I think she won, since Woo!Nurse is still giving her her meds. Anti-vax people seriously annoy me.

Our homecoming princess got knocked up on prom night; her child will be 23 this year. If I'd been less lucky...(cause you know I didn't use contraception every time at 17.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

We spent Friday evening with some family friends - their daughter and CJ are best buddies. The family is pretty conservative and very religious but aren't pushy about either so we get along fine. While the kids were watching Doctor Who, I was chatting with the mom, M. Somehow during our conversation, M told me that she put her daughter on the pill for the summer so that she could control her periods around their vacations, especially their trip to Hawaii. But once school starts, she will take her off the pill.

I just...it seems so...just weird.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And to know how doves survive evolution. They build the flimsiest nests in the worst locations.

The white tern lays its eggs in the forks of branches, or perhaps a particularly large knothole. For example: [link] Another one: [link]

The next time you say, "It was the least I could do", think of the white tern.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And yet they are not extinct...

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Today has been A Day. I am now sitting and about to eat dinner and watch some Parks and Rec, and I could just fall asleep right here. Except there's laundry to fold and the dishwasher to unload & load, cats to feed, etc. etc. etc.

Question: I forgot I had a half a burrito in the fridge since Tuesday, and just discovered it today. To eat or not to eat? The outside is a bit soggy but everything looks & smells OK. It's black beans, brown rice, spinach, artichoke hearts, sprouts, corn... that may be it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's black beans, brown rice, spinach, artichoke hearts, sprouts, corn... that may be it.

That's fine. I'd heat it up and eat it as a bowl with some added cheese or salsa or somesuch.
