If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yup, me too. My usual MO is to come here, start what I think is going to be a supportive post, realize that it's 80% me whining about what a fuck up I am, stop, edit out about 70% of that shit, and then hit post.

Wait...we're supposed to edit that shit out???

I think most of us manage a fair balance of supportiveness and venting about our own lives, and it all works out!

I'm considering going back to Samsung for my next phone. I love my pure Android Nexus, but the camera is SO SO SHITTY and apparently the one on the Pixel isn't a huge improvement.

Okay! Moving date is definitely confirmed for next Wednesday. It's all happening in one day, which will be shitty while it happens, but then it will be over.

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

Timelies all!

So my MIL is staying here tonight so she can help me get the little guy into the car tomorrow night. (Gary's away on business.) Assume the usual pros and cons of this arrangement. :)

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

Go Dana, move like the wind!

I think I have talked myself into an iPhone SE and Apple Watch. Now I just have figure out how to pay for them. Meanwhile my 5s with a cracked (that is really an insufficient word, but I'm having trouble coming up with the right description) screen continues to work.

Good luck with the move, Dana.

(I didn't edit anything out bc msbelle said I didn't have to.)

If only telekinesis were a possiblity, hippocampus, then your advil could come to you.

I just gave G her shot. And she moved. And I almost knicked myself. Sigh.

Hi -t ! it is good to see your pixels.

Kat, if I told you how long adult-me spent trying to slam a door with my eyes after watching Matilda, just hoping, you would laugh. When we showed it to HPF, she did the exact same thing.

We are a small one-house nation of unrequited door slammers.

looks at calendar

Ah, yes. I'm hitting the Everyone Is Stupid and I Hate Everything and Eat Stuff That Makes Me Feel Sick part of my hormone cycle. Explains so much. And my parents arrive Thursday.

Just wait for the OMGWTF my PARENTS ARE CRAZYMAKING! posts the following 5 days. Damnit. I'm looking forward so much to their visit, hope I can keep the short fuse in check.
