I am generally not in favor of piercing things, but I would like fewer migraines. I should mention it to the headache doctor when I see her in a couple of weeks.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

OMG, I just had half an avocado on toast, topped with two strips of bacon. Hugely successful dinner. Also, I think I'm a millenial.

Yeah, I haven't gotten a piercing since 1985, when I was 15 and got 1 extra piercing in my left ear (so, 1 in the right earlobe, 2 in the left) because Molly Ringwald did it.
But if piercing some weird part of my ear will mitigate my migraines, then let's do it.

Nom, Dana! Some of those millennial priorities are right on.

Of course, I almost immediately started worrying about the ethical and moral consequences of my hypothetical sock golem. Do I need to figure out how to give it free will? Will it be pissed I use electronic devices on Shabbat? Will I lose control of it and have it go on some kind of rampage because mortals shouldn't be messing with creation like that?
I am willing to test these hypotheses experimentally.

Goddamnit, I'm going to miss Brian. He tells me the buyer is nice and will be a good fit. New guy was pleased to hear his nextdoor neighbor was a football fan (not me. Poor Anna tried to watch a Super Bowl with us. We exasperated her.) And that he lit up about alley firepit.
But Brian took me to urgent care and then diner food after, to the er, gave me my bathroom sink, countless bits of nice furniture, my cats' tent...many firepit, rants, bagged leaves, dragged me out to replant the neighborhood sign, Halloween porch nights, let me take care of him & his wee dog when his foot was broke. Gawd that first winter here when I formally met him marching up his stairs with a bucket of hot water to break our ice dams across 5 houses and then we all got drunk and made pizza because his visiting boytoy had a 4 wheeler and Trinacaria was open. 2 lbs of pepperoni. We still had pepperoni a year later.
Will give new guy the full welcome.
But really gonna miss Brian. A lot.
I've offered to store/list anything he can't fit in truck/wants to sell. Partly because I can, no big, can handle it.Partly to drag him back down here.

I'm sorry sarameg, changes to the neighborhood

Our wings are not tired.
Is it wrong to want some new major scandal to come along so we don't have to talk about Roy Moore for another month?
