All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Maybe I'm confusing Sudafed with something else that makes people sleepy. The only drugs that ever made me sleepy were pre-surgery sedatives.

That is good news, Brenda!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was at dinner time!

I mean you don't use 3/14 format.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm having rhubarb pie right now! Baby's been getting lots of pie for breakfast, which happens when you're pg and live next to Marie Callender's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Random question:

When I was in kindergarten-2nd grade-ish I remember teachers and my parents telling us that you only use the word "done" when referring to food that's baking (or cooking?). Otherwise you were supposed to use the word "finished". So I dutifully followed this rule until I finished high school, at which point I stopped giving a fuck.

Is this rule still a thing? Do they teach it to kids now?

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

I've never heard that rule, tommyrot.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I never heard that.

I think we are having cake for our meeting today and not pie. Hm.

'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 never heard of that rule, but maybe it's a Midwestern thing?

Randomly, I'm wondering if the transitory pain I've had right in the gallbladder region might actually be a mild gallbladder stone. It's been happening on and off after meals for a week now. OTOH, it's not like it's agonizing or anything, just a cramp I can power through. (This compared to my Actual Kidney Stone or Actual Broken Toe.)

That seems like the kind of wackado "rule" some teacher comes up with and insists is real.

Oh, thank goodness -- there will be pie here this afternoon!

Huh. I dunno. But I don't think I've heard any references to that rule since I was in 2nd grade.
