I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have no memory of waking up during my colonoscopy, because basically they roofied me. I literally don't remember putting my clothes back on, afterward. I still maintain I could have made my way home on my own, given that I managed all the zippers and buttons correctly.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I want to get to my book and *also* see what else is around it that I didn't think to look up

This, totally.

Because books.

Yeah, I used to just get lost thumbing through it. Although IMdB is a tempting rabbit hole for me, too.

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

"Oh, so THAT'S how lungs are supposed to work"

Hil, that was my experience also. "Oh, AIR. What a great idea!"

I'm also a big fan of Breathe-Right strips, which allow me to breathe almost normally through my narrow, slightly deviated-septum nose.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ok, people, a HS classmate of mine posted a picture of the text:

"People with autism…do not lie, do not judge, do not play mind games. Maybe we can learn something from them."

I am looking for a better response than "You've clearly met different people on the spectrum than I have"

"You've clearly met different no actual living people on the spectrum than I have". Emphasis on people. Who do people-like things.

Puppies, OTOH, totally do not lie or play mind games. Maybe they got those mixed up.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am looking for a better response than "You've clearly met different people on the spectrum than I have"

I'm totally judging him. For the record.

Oh, DebetEsse. Flames, on the side of my face.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Her kid has autism, and she keeps posting "awareness" things like this, and it is deeply frustrating.

I think puppies lie. They're just REALLY bad at it. And the whole "cute" thing is a total mind game.

Plei, I will admit to thinking of you when I was attempting to draft a comment.

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

Her kid has autism, and she keeps posting "awareness" things like this, and it is deeply frustrating.

How old is her kid? And does she know any adults on the spectrum?
