Our wings are not tired.

elitist="you think you're smarter/better than us!"

I don't think I am better, but I often feel smarter, or at least more informed.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Calling Teppy. I have a stupid med question. The Lasik doc gave me a prescription for 2 diazapam. Apparently I take one before the surgery and the second, I guess, is in case that doesn't calm me enough. I have lorazepam for my anxiety issues. Can I mix the two? Like take a Lorazapam in the morning, when I wake up and then the diazapam for the laser in my eyeball? Or would that be too much of the same thing? I'm not driving, my best friend is helping me out with that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ugh on the carpal tunnel cost, Dana.

This really feels like 2000 all over again, minus the hanging chads.

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

I want to be the person who does the latter, but I don't think I've got it in me.

Yeah, me too. I was already feeling bad because I haven't been doing a lot, and I feel like there's more need but I am not more able. So I don't know how to resolve that.

That's not out of pocket, is it, Dana? Yikes.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I often feel smarter, but I've grown to be amazed how some people demonize intellect. I don't think I'm better for being smart, why do some think it's better not to be smart/informed?

Yours isn't Workman's Comp, Dana? Ouch.

If anyone is feeling like they cannot manage their family this holiday, my guest room is welcome. TX is still a red state, but my family is blue and welcoming.

why do some think it's better not to be smart/informed?

Because that makes you part of the great Common Man who made this country what it is! The stalwart pioneers who came to this land and carved a nation out of the wilderness!

And don't point out how many of our Founding Fathers had lots of higher education/book learning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have to detach myself from most social media and "news" tv. I just can't stay with it, it's making me too angry and bitter.
