My hair is thinning. I changed the part in my hair and I'm doing what is essentially a brush over to minimize the visible curve of my skull through the hair. I'm not worried about it. Yet.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Minoxidil helps with thinning hair on the crown, but it stops working when you stop using it.

Bravo Sox!Sister! I wish I'd known in advance. To be fair, it's been hard to cheer for Oracle, because Ellison is a jerk and nobody likes him. But I would happily cheer for the team...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
TBH I was cheering for OMG crazy space-age pirate airfoil boats DID I MENTION PIRATES!! and trying really hard to ignore the Larry factor altogether.
Um. Not that Sox!Sister is an actual pirate. But if you have a freakin' 50mph super-stealth frickin' sailboat, I say you owe it to the universe to ram and board your enemies at least once for my amusement. Yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone here choose their doctors looking for a name they prefer? Do you base it on "Bill" is a better doctor for me than "Fluffy"?
I don't even know the first names of many of my doctors--I have a recurring appointment with one whose surname I can't remember either.
"If you can't imagine seeing a doctor with that first name, don't give it to your kid." "Right. Sometimes that's all you have to decide between doctors, and Bill Smith is a better choice than Fluffy Watson."
I think I'd be too embarrassed to say that out loud, much less defend it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When we were still in LA and I was choosing my OB tha would deliver Em, I based it on the most Anglo-sounding name possible because I have a hard time understanding heavier accents and I get super embarrassed when I don't understand and won't ask for clarification. I figured that giving birth was one of those times when I needed to really be able to understand what my doctor was telling me. So I figured, you can't get much more Anglo than Pearson.
He was from Dublin. So, yeah. I don't so that anymore. Heh.
