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

Mmm, those are all good theme songs. I don't know if I can choose. I had the sheet music to all of them except, I think, Rockford. I do love a strong bass line, so I guess I'll go Barney Miller.

I remember watching Ten Speed and Brown Shoe but I don't remember the theme song. I mostly remember watching a scene that was cutting between two characters and every time it cut back to the one guy who was wearing a trench coat his collar would switch between being up and being down. Pretty sure that was the show.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I once sent a cherub-faced intern to pick up a gross of condoms at the (no joke) Acme Rubber Company.

I now have a doctor's appointment! This is notable because other than a couple of Urgent Care visits I haven't seen a doc in many years. Of course the appointment offered is the same day as a dentist appointment. So that'll be a fun day.

Barney Miller is the theme song I can most easily bring to mind of those choices.

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

Timelies all!

There may have been condoms in my workplace(it's a large area, with many buildings), but none that I've encountered or heard about.

I've worked big-box retail and in the game industry at conventions. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

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

What, no love for the Andy Griffith show theme? Actually, Barney Miller would be my choice.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went to an AIDS conference in Senegal in 2007. Condoms everywhere! Dresses made of condoms, condom art displays, someone went door to door in the hotels where conference goers were registered and handed out condoms. It was condompalooza.

All of them were unused (at least while they were publicly displayed).

Because books.

Andy Griffith would have to go into a category with other folksy, homespun tunes. In the category-making part of my brain, anyway.

My health insurance just sent me a postcard -- oversized! -- reminding me that Open Enrollment is 45 days only, and when. I hope it reminds a lot of people who might have forgotten otherwise, given the current situation.
