Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Also, considering the relative distance, flights between Halifax and Boston are expensive and those aren't even the direct ones!

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

Happy Birthday Consuela!

It's Gary's birthday today, as well. Just got back from taking him to dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What? What is The Talent going to do? Just make an appearance and give a Royal Wave? The Talent needs to get over Himself and Mingle! Though it will kill me less that I am not there.

Yeah, I guess just a Q&A on stage. And who knows, maybe it's Mrs. Patmore who refused!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy Birthday, Suela!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hil, speaking as someone who went to college in Vermont and was often in freezing places, the key is not thickness but layers. Better to have two thin shirts and two thin sweaters than one thick one. Even tights and a cotton shirt under your thermals will make a big difference.

not your mom's socks.

Happy birthday Consuela! May the universe make you many wonderful things to read this season and all next year!

Happy birthday to G, Sheryl!

Msbelle, thinking of you and your family.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday Consuela!

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

Mega meara'd:

Happy birthday, ‘Suela. It’s been a hard year. Enjoy the day as much as you can.

I love the diversity of human beings because there is no way in Hades I would get up at 5:45 am on my birthday voluntarily unless it involved Idris Elba showing up at my door.

Even still. I’d invite him into bed but hope he had a key ahead of time so I wouldn’t have to get up for the door. Mornings are hard.

In my mind, a bagel coat has a large hole in the middle....

And it has blueberries?

he felt very strongly that at some point when they're ready people can "let go." He'd tracked down a missing relative, listened to various concerns...

I told my Dad that we’d take care of (step)Mom and he could trust us with her. I mean, I told him a lot over the final months but that was the last thing I told him.

My day totally just turned around: I asked the CSR at the bank for an email of someone higher up I could complain to, and by the time she came back, she was waiving the fees! And emailing them to me instead of paper mailing them! Complaining works!!

Sadly, it really does. Complaining but being polite is fucking magic.

Did you know you have a sinus cavity that runs from the soft palate of the roof of your mouth, up the backside of your nose and hooks around behind your eye?

Yes, but only because it sometimes (often) acts up and pain ensues. Sinuses are fucking overrated. They are the head’s appendix until someone explains how they are useful.

I can't figure out how to heat it to drain it. It doesn't hurt NOW, but clearly is messed up. And I'm not really congested.
