Now I feel inadequate using a broomstick to turn my fireplace on and off like a chump. The only "sword" I own is katana letter opener. Which I do use frequently, but it is wee.

Waiting on a class to learn how to do this sleep study thing. Trading Adderall for methylphenidate, mentioned I have been having trouble staying asleep -> sleep study and blood draw. Already did the draw. Might get a flu shot on the way. Ack to my car, since I'm here. Whee.

That's a lot of TCB, -t!

All unexpected! I am going with it.

Ok, so weird: using a company website/program/thingie. Type in the box. It automatically spellchecks, apparently. Fine. But it underlines incredibly random words (like "replacement") that are spelled right....and then when I click to see what the suggested word or spelling is, it's the same!? And if I click accept, it no longer underlines it. But it hasn't actually changed. Wtf.

Sounds like the software has unrequested features.

Just saw this:

What, they don't make tuna-flavored medicine?

Yes, they do. After his kidney transplant, Arthur's liquid meds were tuna-flavored. On the other hand, we had to get those meds from a compounding pharmacy.

Not that it helped a whole lot. At best, his attitude toward meds were, "Okay, you got me. Get it over with. Unless I'm able to spit something out."

My sister's car is mad for mint. She'll try to steal your gum if you're not careful.

I love this typo.

Susan, that's where I had my echo last summer. I find the campus confusing.

Best wishes for surgery Susan (OK, I'm late ... it's probably over and done with ... but it's the thought that counts, right?)

And welcome back zuisa.

And, in my ongoing attempts to bring a little light into the darkness that is life these days, I offer the best astronaut photo ever.

And, for Jilli and any other goth coming by, the same page had a link to the goth chicken.
