Hmmm, we have Family Weekend on Yom Kippur. . . no protests that I know about but we're not a big football school like that.

Also, so far as I know ESPN and the MAC control when our team plays at home. . . and even if we weren't at home wouldn't the football team be playing at somebody else's home?

ita, I was able (through a completely random contact) to get my mom to a Dr. for a card down here. If you'd like, I can ask my random contact about Dr.'s in LA.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I did just have an encounter where some people were rolling on by me with a cart and flagged me down to offer, "Dim sum?"

I need some of this in my life.

Because books.

I'm glad this place was here for you, Maria. And you, -t. It's a pretty special place.

Good news, Jilli!

ita, I'm not sure a medical marijuana prescription would be a help or not, but I also don't get why your doctor is opposed. For your purposes -- even if it was just for sleeping -- it's never been proved to be addictive, and it certainly helps a lot of people. But I'm not a huge fan of your medical team anyway, so.

'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"

With medical marijuana, it's possible to get strains that lack THC, so they don't get you stoned while giving you the other good stuff therein. I have no knowledge that THC et alia is any good with migraine at all, but given the number of other problems that ita experiences, I could see it worth being a gentle try.

I mean to talk to my psych physician (I have to check in with him every three months for my citalopram prescription) about what he's heard about its effects on anxiety.

My random connection was filling me in on some of this. She said the nearly THC-free stuff (I'm blanking on the name) isn't really seen much in California (it's not where the money is), but that you can still get it really low. And if you're taking it at bedtime anyway (her recommendation), it doesn't matter as much.

High Indica and Satvia strains. I take a tincture made with those strains to help with the insomnia.

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

Timelies all!

Not to be all "what they said", but if I have hurt or offended anyone here, I am sorry. Please forgive me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

I like these superhero-tinged swimsuits: [link] Dr. Doom's is the best, but I'd wear 1/3 of them.
