Oh sara, I'm sorry. Will the pharmacy get the antibios for you?
Jilli, it sounds like you've been through the ringer.
I have a house full of crabby people. Including me.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Not without a script! I'll just have them call in a new one to the pharm below my office. I told them originally to send it to one on the way home from the endodontist, but I'm not fucking going back up there tomorrow.

Can you pulse the greens up in the blender and make a pestofor pasta? I hope you get your meds and feel better soon.

Wrong kind & I don't really like to eat much pasta anymore. Basically, all I want & have to eat right now is problematic. I mean, there's soup, but it is fucking hot and I don't like cold soup. Everything is just trash.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That sucks, sarameg.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What is Rabid Puppies?
Ohh dear. Basically, neo-fascist writer of bad sci-fi who organised a group called Rabid Puppies to hijack the Hugos. There's a lengthy write-up here: [link] Assuming you don't have that kind of time, some highlights of the views he's expressed:
- Women shouldn't have the right to vote. He's spoken favourably of acid attacks on feminists.
- He's called the (brilliant) African-American fantasy writer, N. K. Jemisin, a "half-savage", and not equally Homo sapiens sapiens. He believes that race and intelligence are linked.
- Homosexuality is a birth defect.
- The Taliban's attempt to kill Malala Yousafzai was perfectly justifiable.
A real charmer there.

Oh billytea I am hugging you. Sorry that you've discovered this. There are so many good writers - I'm sorry you had to bump into this.

Ugh, sarameg, I'm sorry!
Also sorry about that friend, Gud.

Next time I need a root canal, I'm going to lie and say the pain is debilitating and I don't want any -codone temp solution. Got me a root canal that same day w/o the stupid abx wait a decade plus ago( and was true.) This isn't that bad, but it is going on too long and I'm over it.
