Strix I'm so sorry. So very sorry.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
JFC, Strix. I am so, so sorry. Love to you and Dan and M and all who loved Dan's SF.
I can't keep up in Natter, which is one reason I mostly wandered off, but I'm going to try. Even if it's just to say hi, here I am, I see y'all. Kathy and katefate and Lyra Jane and all, welcome back to you. Always come back. Always.

Typo, I read your white font and I agree. I keep thinking that I want ...I want justice for ita. It keeps popping up, I want justice maybe if we can effect change it will feel something like justice.

God dammit, Strix. I am so, so sorry.

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.
We share your sorrow, Strix.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Did he finish the sentence? That he'll start doing blood tests on you...to make sure you have that amount of drug in your bloodstream, because if you don't, then you're selling it instead of taking it.
He pretty much said that he trusts me, but that the medical practice (he's part of a big network of medical stuff) pretty much requires it at a certain point. I'm not sure what that point is, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Congrats, katefate!
I'm sorry, Strix.

I should have clarified; I don't doubt that he trusts you, but yeah, once patients start increasing their dose, then doctors (or their uber-network) start suspecting drug diversion, rather than considering that patients who take opiates develop a fucking tolerance to it. It's like actual medical knowledge about the reality of how drugs work isn't even important.
I ought to ask my dad if he has to get tested. I don't think he's ever mentioned it, and he has a really high dose of oxycodone. Maybe his doctor thinks a 73-year-old man isn't going to sell it. And he never needs to refill early, so that might be a factor.
