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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Connie!

Because books.

Happy birthday, Connie!

David, fingers still crossed for everything to work out. And for the annoying majority partner to get a nasty rash in an inconvenient place.

Don't judge me. Or go ahead and judge, but don't feel obligated to share your judgment with me. Believe me, I know.

I haven't taken a bath since we've lived in this apartment because it's in the kids' bathroom, and there's no way they're keeping it clean enough for me.

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

Happy birthday, Connie!

My doctor's office, bless them forever, now has a service where you can get an online evaluation for 8 or 10 common (but also simple to treat) conditions/illnesses.

That's brilliant!

msbelle, solidarity, sister, my finances have gotten out of control again, too. Happens when I'm stressed. I really need to get to a point that when I (inevitably) go into a anxious spending spree, I don't end up hurting myself before I'm through.

I always forget the power of posting about something to make it happen.

I need $100,000. Really. I need it. #rocket

Speaking of which, may the cash come through quickly and in delightful amounts after which may you not need to deal with your a*hole partner so much anymore, David.

I spent way too much time "debating" with an anti-abortion person on Twitter today. We were doing okay, until he said something that made me lose any respect for him. He said that he would happily adopt a baby, but he's offered his services on Twitter before and mysteriously there were no takers, so, no adopting. I called bullshit. Then he told me he already had 6 kids "of his own", after telling me neither men nor women should ever have sex unless they're ready to have kids. I told him, hey, you could've adopted 6 innocent babies if you'd just never had sex!

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

Happy Birthday, Connie!

I always forget the power of posting about something to make it happen.

Tried to get an appointment with a podiatrist this morning (think I've maybe developed plantar's fasciitis - whatever it is, it's making Irish dancing increasingly painful. And I had a performance yesterday, so I'm hurting today). Earliest available was 4 weeks out, in a really inconvenient location. How is it possible that a health network serving as large a city as San Diego only has a tiny handful of podiatrists (the nearest of whom won't see new patients)? Fingers crossed for a cancellation, or for the message I sent to my GP to be answered with, "Hey, I can totally hook you up! I know a (foot) guy!"

*Waits patiently for the power of posting*

It was his own argument! But I got him to admit that it wasn't about the innocent babies so much as about women irresponsibly having Teh Sexx when they didn't want to be pregnant.

I am amazed that Twitter adoption offers were not immediately jumped on by parents looking to give their baby a better life with someone else. What better reference could anyone have than a verified twitter account? It's a much more through vetting than refugees receive, I assume.

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

> Can you imagine a property listing for that? "3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, spacious kitchen, walk-in closets, sick skateboard ramp in formerly useful back yard."

Ha! A house we are very interested in possibly buying comes with a full karaoke/disco set-up in the basement. If I said this was part of the appeal, I would not be lying. [link]

Have not found any aromatherapy bath options near me, btw, but I did come across a yoga studio in my neighborhood that I didn't know about. I hope it is really and truly there and not some phantom of the yoga studio that used to be in my neighborhood (but had a different name and address, so I am optimistic). I think that would improve my life immensely, having yoga within strolling distance to my house, unless they are horribly expensive or unwelcoming in some way.
