Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yes, frustrating and scary is exactly right. Thanks for letting me vent here.

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

Frustrating and scary as hell.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That does sound like a scary reaction, Burrell! I hope they get it figured out, fast.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Very frustrating and very scary. Hope they get it together.

'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"

Just a thought -- could she be reacting to the dye or something else in the prep?

(I know somebody whose uncles -- multiple -- died from an allergic reaction to a medical dye that they didn't catch until the second autopsy. She subsequently got tested for that allergy and yes, it's some kind of weird genetic thing that will have to be avoided in any kind of medical test she has in the future.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear, Burrell! Scary. I hope they figure something out.

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

Timelies all!

Yikes, Burrell, that is scary.

Today I start cleaning All The Things in preparation for my folks visit this weekend. Figuring out what to do with them will be interesting since we have to take into account a) the shutdown and b) my mom's mobility problems.

Hoping for no more scares, Burrell.

Work is reassuring us we're good well into November. Oh and by the way, don't forget annual enrollment!

...which makes me wonder, if you are on furlough and forbidden to work, how the fuck does that work? I mean, I know technically it is possible, but if your HR is also on furlough....

I hope they can make the treatment work without further adverse reactions, Burrell.

Huh, I had an aunt who died from a dye reaction about 30 years ago. I don't know if anyone else has had those tests, but it's something to mention if it comes up.
