You don't actually have pneumonia, right?

I don't have the symptoms, mostly just exhausted/congested. I'll go to the doctor if I don't feel better this weekend.

Gah, it sounds like Matilda's walking pneumonia which went on for so many weeks this winter.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

This is me too! I hate talking on the phone to anyone but people I know well. I can't parse half of what they're saying, especially if they have a strong accent. And of course the majority of my authors who want to call me instead of email have accents I can't penetrate. *sob* Why don't they just use email?

I've been known to spend way too much time tracking down a non-phone contact method on a support site to try to avoid having a phone conversation only to have a support person call me back instead of just responding to me via email. Grr, I intentionally went out of my way to avoid the telephone for a reason. I understand some people prefer the "personal touch" of a phone call, but I'm not one of those people.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Steph, I had ringworm in my teens. Got it from our cat ... you might want to check your own pets for patches of it. (And, yes, ringworm sounds a lot nastier than it is ... it's kind of like the circle of life for athlete's foot.)

'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"

Now you're going to make me paranoid about petting new animal friends. Life is too short, and also that is what hand-washing is for.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I totally wash my hands! ...though apparently not as well (or as soon) as I ought to. At least once.

Argh. Well, I'm definitely not coughing like Matilda, at least.

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

Timelies all!

Looks like a quiet weekend here. We had thought about day-tripping Re-Generation Who, but Gary's been fighting a cold, and not sleeping well, so we'll take it easy instead.

It's amazing the GOP is making the Democrats look like they've got their shit together. The Democrats.
