You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Hmm, my stunning lack of planning or measuring or, potentially, paying attention means that my split pea soup is going to be split pea and shredded potato soup. And not done for a while.

I also thought my heater sucked but really I just had the vents in "OMG summer and air conditioning is frightfully expensive" configuration.

This is not my most effective Saturday morning. Even if both of those mistakes were initially made last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Father is sprung, and I am home! Time to get packing....

You can play Doctor Who on Google today!

I maybe forgot why I opened that tab. And the poor Doctor was a little bit exterminated while I tried to figure out how to play. But he regenerated.

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

Augh! Time sink! I didn't need to know that, but thank you, Cass. May need to point my son towards that one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sara, is that car crash the kind that side air bags were built for?

Jesse, is your dad ok?

Happy Saturday all. We are going to see Catching Fire tonight.

Yeah, he's all right, thanks.

The good news is that apparently there is a lot research and whatnot on anti-seizure drugs and Alzheimer's -- the one they gave him at a hospital apparently did some good for dementia in mice in some study. And some other ones are given to smooth out moods. So at least there's not massive contraindications there. That's something! (I know someone whose father's dementia is so atypical they can't treat it at all, because the drugs for one thing it could be would exacerbate the other thing it could be, and vice versa. Ugh!)

I think they probably helped some- her boyfriend definitely. For her they probably prevented lacerations and stuff, but the force was such, hard to say. She did get burns from some of them, though she can't figure out which ones

Anti-seizure drugs seem very multipurpose. They are used for nerve pain, and I think they are also used to treat bipolar disorder in some cases. Not surprised they also help with dementia.

Also migraines, IIRC.
