Heh. Under ordinary circumstances I'd opt for Guinness Extra Stout instead, but those were the low carb options I was aware of at the corner pub. Shouting kids in the street made me reconsider going to open mike comedy night though; I don't want to be trapped in a bar with them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
When I hurt my foot I managed to drive myself to the hospital using my left foot. I can't testify as to how well I drove since I was probably in shock, but I got there. Good thing it was an automatic.
-t, that's a good story.

I took my dad to an appointment and then out for beer and chicken pot pie at a local pub. So nice: quiet, cozy bar with soccer on the televisions and really good beer on tap.
And now I really should bake some cookies but I'm tempted to just go crash instead.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not driving from West LA to Pasadena with my left foot. And back.
Also, if I can drive to the ER (and expect to drive back) I don't need to go.

There's a conference in Oakland this weekend that would love to discuss that with you...:) (Butch Voices). I think you're working from a flawed premise with "femme", but...

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

One maps showed lightning strikes--why do Europe and Russia seemingly not get as many lightning strikes as everyone else??
