Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

OMFG, we still haven't paid for the vehicle that the client is bitching about! I sent over the paperwork and authorization on 9/18, and their PO was issued 9/25. I can't even. THIS is why the client doesn't have the registration paperwork--because the damned car isn't technically ours yet.

I mean, eating healthy food is a good thing, and if someone feels better eating paleo/gluten-free/vegan/whatever, that's a good thing. But damn, son, if you get pneumonia or cancer of the everything, coconut oil is NOT going to fix it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Welcome to my world of parents with special needs kids. I have a coworker whose kid was hospitalized for not gaining any weight due to gastroparesis and they wanted to go with solving it by different foods and not meds. Um? gastroparesis means the food isn't working!

Because Drugs Are Bad and Natural Is Good.

Oh man, I don't think I told you guys about the horrible thing I did last week. Somebody brought over BK, including the new whopper with the black bun. Which was gross, so I let the dog eat it.

I don't know if you've heard what's happening with those black buns. But it works on dogs too. SCIENCE! (Or, bad dog parenting.) But not in any way natural.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had not heard! But I just googled it, and... now I want to go get one.

There are greens found in nature in that substance. That is not this. Shocking, tempera-paint-level-of-saturation emerald green.

No other side effects of note should you choose to experiment.

I warned you guys about it a couple weeks ago when I ate one.

I can see running off to Hawaii for clean air and good food as a viable choice for someone who wants to make the most of their remaining days rather than engaging in a drawn-out fight if there's not much chance of successful treatment, but not as an alternative treatment strategy. Last time I checked, people in Hawaii get cancer too.

Yeah, that.
