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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
I just saw a tweet from Tom and Lorenzo about that. And apparently she did tweet something right before her death, even if she didn't leave a note.

Oh my gosh, that's so sad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Suicide is so, so sad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
These people on Love it or List It, Too (because obviously they need more than one of these shows), and these people are such bitches, I can't even cope. Being on reality TV doesn't give you a license to be mean!
Yes, I know it kind of does.

I woke up around 1am this morning due to pins and needles pain in my hand. It took about an hour and a heating pad to get it to stop. Now it keeps just almost going back to that place so I felx my hand and bring it back from the edge.
What did I do to myself and how do I make it stop?

'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"
They seem to go out of their way to find pretty-yet-unagreeable people to feature on that show. (My roommate is addicted to it.) All kinds of different ways to be awful.
And, Hillary always goes over-budget. Every.single.time. Which has to be on purpose, so far as I can figure.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Suzi, sounds like a nerve is pinched/trapped somewhere. Is that arm sore, maybe in the upper arm area? Because inflamed muscles could be trapping a nerve and causing pins and needles.
If that's the problem, try feeling for tender spots in your upper arm and, if you find any, actually put pressure on them for 15-30 seconds, even though it's tender as hell. That might work out a muscle knot, which could free up the nerve.
The other cause -- and hear me out on this -- is that you're about to manifest your super-powers.

Maybe try icing instead, Suzi?
On Love It or List It, Hillary does go over budget, but she usually has a good reason -- or at least something unanticipated when they begin the work. I think they encourage the homeowners toward the drama.

I just hope that a Real Contractor (tm) would do some basic investigation of the house to scope out knob and tube wiring, load-bearing walls, old skanky plumbing and so on, to take anything that's obvious from at least examining the basement, and then make their work-estimate based on that... plus some extra for unexpected stuff.
