Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Omg, there is Jesse again with her supportive people are different bullshit. You and your rational logic consideration of others.

The nerve! You, on the other hand, are the nicest.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I jumped back into William Gibson's book Pattern Recognition because it has been the only book to ever fully capture the idea of an online message board community for me. A message board created and hosted by a regular person (A South Korean police officer) to discuss and dissect, obsessively, a series of evocative film snippets released one at a time by an unknown film maker via the internet.

Flame wars, off-topic discussions, big personalities and long-standing relationships/feuds/in jokes.

I wonder if Gibson ever lurked here or on TT or even the Bronze for that matter.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just got an e-mail from my dad asking me what happened and was it someone he knew. He never reads FB and doesn't know about b.org (well, roughly, he knows I have online friends, just not where to find them).

Sigh. Now to craft a response.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Omg, there is Jesse again with her supportive people are different bullshit. You and your rational logic consideration of others.

The last thing we need to be doing right now is beating ourselves up over feelings! Sheesh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Betsy, thank you for that. I've wondered how you've been (as well as your other family members who have migraines).

I get that addiction and drug diversion are huge problems; I'm certainly not downplaying that. But inadequately treating patients with chronic intractable pain should be considered malpractice. It's fucking criminal.

As long as I can beat you up, Jesse.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'd like to legislate "ita's Law": If a doctor doesn't prescribe a person in pain adequate pain meds, they get a solid kick in the nads and tasered while they're down, and then two doctors stand over them, one to ask them to rate their pain on this frowny-face chart, and the other to write them a scrip for one Tylenol.

PLEASE create this on change.gov. I will sign it a million times.

And Betsy, it's wonderful to see your pixels again, even if I'm sorry for the reason.
