By their definition isn't tithing to their church a form of socialism?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
By their definition, God hates socialism, so giving to the church is anti-socialist!
Or something.

We didn't get any of the snow today, but we're having a ridiculous windstorm. My shopping cart almost took off on me as I was leaving the market.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is there a muscle that wraps from the shoulder blade around to below the armpit?
Calli, ages ago, but yes. In fact, there are few times the answer to "Is there a muscle around the shoulder that" questions wouldn't be "yes." Shoulders are wicked complicated and easy to piss off.

How did I completely run out of sugar? Of course, I went to the market yesterday. Thank goodness there is honey for my cuppa. ION, I am starting my first IVF cycle today, which means that I have to pick up BCPs from the pharmacy. I will never stop finding this funny.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
In other "Bodies Weird" news. We now have a good guess as to my problem: sprained my hip. sprained my hip tying my shoe. How fucking embarrassing.
You do meet characters visiting a lot of doctors' offices. One women was having her eyes treated. But she also had a syndrome where the nerves in her mouth are twinned? doubled? Something on those lines. Anyway it means she feels dental pain much more strongly than your average bear. And also locals do nothing her. She has to be unconscious for any dental work to be done. Or really extreme twilight.
I am very sympathetic to that. I mean yowch. But one thought also did occur to me which I would never share with her: "worst superpower ever."

Speaking of doctor visits. I took the day off to have a Sigmoidoscopy. Spoiler font with details.
The last hemorrhoid is still bleeding. It's too close to the surface to nab, and apparently, not much to do with it. But doc was concerned that the bleeding might be something else. So, scheduled the look-see. Didn't find any other cause of bleeding, so confirmed, it's that one annoying 'roid. But he did find a few polyps. He's 99% sure they are non-cancerous, but wants to do a colonoscopy to check the whole pipe. See if there are any more bumps higher up, then remove and test them.
I'm really hating my ass.
