Timelies all!
Congrats, Scrappy!
Yay, Sophia!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay, Sophia!
I support both the Nye and the Clavin explanation of fibroedonoma(e?), and Science with Steph.
I have great sympathy with those of you dealing with pain. I was woken from a sound sleep twice in one night recently, after a couple of weeks playing fast and loose with pasta, crackers, bread, and rice. Having hobbled to the kitchen and consigned all such things to the "husband and guests only" shelf, I am once more reminded to be more vigilantly aware of what the hell I eat.
Consciously deciding to accept next-day achiness in exchange for a small slice of cake is one thing. Being reduced to tears trying to move after eating all the bread is entirely another.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray for healthy Sophia!

I firmly believe you can be glad it's not cancer and still annoyed by our health care system. Because it sucks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yah Sophia!

This.

I am already annoyed that my physical got turned into a diagnostic visit because I was diagnosed with diabetes and then so did my eye exam. Maybe I will meet my deductible this year!

Yay Sophia!

Tonight Tim is at that (poorly organized) bachelor party I mentioned a couple weeks ago. Because the groom and his friends are all middle-aged dudes who all fall somewhere on the curmudgeon scale, they aren't at a strip club or anything -- they're at a movie theater that serves dinner with the movie. I am DESPERATELY hoping they're watching The Big Sick. (Except I haven't seen it yet and I'll be jealous.) Because that's perfect for a bunch of curmudgeonly 50-something dudes at a bachelor party.
But I suspect they're either seeing Dunkirk, Spider-Man, or Wonder Woman. Still, my fingers are crossed for the romantic comedy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Apparently Trump is asking, just theoretically, if he can pardon himself.
If he tries this, we are going to spend a fucking year or something with every person in the world debating the meaning of the word "pardon".
