We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Did she give him alcohol to help dull the pain?

Also, what is family illness leave?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Panera -- who wants a side of bread with a sandwich?? NOT ME.

My parents have a drink before dinner everyday. Neither of them see narcotics as a reason to suspend it.

Family illness leave is a block of leave for taking care of dependent family members. Most people use it for kids. I used a couple of days when my dad had surgery in the spring.

I work in a unionized gov't environment. We have lots of leave time in lots of categories, if you know about them. We also have emergency leave. For thing like your house being on fire or your basement flooding. Though they don't actually advertise that one...I only know about it because my former was heavily involved with the union and could pretty much tell you everything in our contract. Since we report our own time, you have to know that it's available to use it.

Wow Sue, that leave thing is great, although I am sorry your family needs taking care of.

I never really know what people do here in terms of leave for family members. Since I am an only child and I have an uncle who has no children and no spouse and another uncle whose son is sort of estranged, I probably should check it out.

THis is a video of a man playing Lorde's Royals on the trombone for his cows: [link] It is pretty cute and weird.

At the very very very end of the video he plays this other little ditty that I remember the trombones playing all the time in marching band. Does it have a name?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Dentist visit went way better than anticipated. No fillings, just a treatment for his molars (since the boy sprouts cavites like whoa). phew!

Now I need to go back to researching new/used cars, and figuring out where to get the Malibu painted. Oy!

OK, Ravelry, why all the chat about porn sites?

I think I like these people.

Brenda, it's you who knows the Rishi person, right? Well, they pass.

I tried the low gly dark chocolate cookies with cherries instead of cranberries (the recipe calls for chocolate chips, but I don't like them), and it tastes much better. Enough that I will start doubling the recipe, because making 11 cookies at once is not getting me anywhere.
