I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

Punishingly Intricate

Oh, man, stupid woman on NPR this morning made me livid.

For real. My husband was yelling at Inkseep to ask her about why she doesn't support Tim Kaine, an actual Catholic missionary.

Thrive to spite them

To be fair he didn't claim his mic was broken until AFTER the debate and Baldwin didn't pull quite as many faces as Trump did but Alec had to keep his face squinched.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The burn is feeling better, but I'm overly anxious today. Too much excitement yesterday. Bah.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This was a complete non-surprise for me. I was not able to take them when I was younger because when I tried them I went to a deep black place. It took more than one try before I made the connection. Then decades later when a doctor suggested I try hormone replacement for menopause I discovered real quick that it caused serious depression. Messing with hormones is not good, at least for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm surprised that hasn't been widely studied before.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had a horrible dream that I am still trying to parse, I am gonna white font for physical torturous like stuff plot akin to The Lottery.

unclear where we were, but there were lots of people there I knew. I was younger, no E. There were tables in these rooms and they had things on them from each of us, maybe things we had donated for like a silent auction. There were some horrible people there and somehow if they got your stuff they got you for a period of years. They didn't kill people, but they had these horrible tortures. They got me of course and my hands and feet were put into these clear boxes that had 5 dials on them, each turn of a dial would break bones between the joints on my fingers/toes and then stretch the digits. They would heal and be re-broken. My fingers were like twice their current length and useless.

Yikes msbelle, that is worse than enduring this election cycle. Whatever you had to eat/drink/read before sleep last night, don't do it again.
