Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Our wings are not tired.

Poor pumpkin. It is so hard when you can't explain to them why you can't fix it. Apparently that never changes either! All 4 of my mom's kids are in our 60s and she still suffers over us and thinks she is supposed to fix everything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why are there strapless swimsuits in a G cup? Is that a thing that would work for anybody?

The scaffolding that would be required to create that would render breathing impossible, I think.

I have no choice but to mention that my lifelong allergies went bye bye after acupuncture.

Well, I better try acupuncture. WTH, nothing else works.

Props to you for the coping, Connie.

When I was pregnant my allergy meds were absolutely forbidden and my midwife suggested acupuncture. It was like a miracle for me. It changed my life. 38 years of being stuffed up, gone. It has creeped up on me a bit in the past couple years, but not anything like it was. It has been 20+ years since I had the treatment, so a booster might be in order.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Laura, was it a one-time treatment (acupuncture for allergies) or did you have to go to multiple appointments?

Y'all, I am loving these record-breaking low temperatures the last couple weeks. It's 57 deg F right now and 31% humidity. I can breathe!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All the shifting of weather between cold and hot and rainy and sunny is making my sinuses go insane.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

sj, I'm glad ltc was able to get a nap. How is everyone today?

Acupuncture for allergies, you say? Hmmm. I wonder if Kaiser covers that...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, Juliana. I feel like crap, but ltc seems to be better. She is eating like a champ today. I tried to new sippy cup the nurse recommended, but ltc was more interested in playing with it than drinking from it. I can't figure out how to teach her to suck the milk out of it, but we'll keep working on it because I'm ready to start weaning her.

The first session got rid of 95% of it, but I went a couple more times. This was 25 years ago.
