Fascinating, flea! Does not sound easy to be related to.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

He could be [fantastic]. He was a crap father, however, and had a mean streak.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I believe that! Definitely better from afar.

I think it may be time for me to start spending money on good clothes and then never get rid of them.
I've been trying to do this more often, which is why my wardrobe is getting expanded with pieces from Kambriel.

I'm sorry, Flea. Your description makes me think of The Most Interesting Man in the World.

flea, I'm sorry about your grandfather. He sounds like the kind of person who, if he were a character in a book, he would be dismissed as "unrealistic."
Burrell, I was pretty amazed what a difference it made to ease of peeling.
I was destroying hard-boiled eggs trying to peel them, and everyone just kept repeating the advice that old eggs peel the easiest. Which is fine, but we eat eggs often, and they don't have the chance to get old. (I realize we could buy an extra carton of eggs for the express purpose of letting them get old, but that takes up room in the fridge and, frankly, I can't plan ahead like that.)
So I googled for ways to make hard-boiled eggs easier to peel, and found this Serious Eats Food Lab piece: [link] which had the advice to put the eggs in the water AFTER it's at a boil. And I have to say, it works every damn time.
(Also, I am a little sad, because I'm thinking about how annoyed ita would be that we keep talking about eggs.)

Also, don't tell Client #2, but I am totally loopy on migraine meds (I just took 1/4 of a squirreled-away percocet, because the actual migraine meds are about as effective as Tic Tacs today) and yet I am about to proofread some articles. Just the easy ones, like case reports.
But DAMN, stupid head. I had insomnia last night from the migraine pain, so right now I am composed of 2 parts migraine pain, 1 part sleep deprivation, and 1 part looped on narcotics. WOO BRING ON THE HOOKERS.

I'm sorry for your family's loss, flea. Having worked with a number of people with his resume, I know they can be difficult parents.
My internet has been timing out all day. I spent some time on chat, and they said they fixed it. Nope. Also, I just melted part of a cutting board onto my cooktop.
