Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

A shot of Toradol used to work for me sometimes, but the past two times I've needed a steroid pack.

I didn't know steroids were an option for migraines. I'd totally do that. Toradol works 90% of the time, though it usually takes 12-18 hours to really do anything, which always makes me wonder if it's the Toradol or if the migraine would have gone away in that time frame anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The first time I had a Toradol shot, I literally felt the headache lessen about 20 minutes later. It was great. And unfortunately, future shots never worked that well.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How does Smart stay in business selling one model that doesn't have rear seat? I don't understand how the Smartcar sells either. Wouldn't something like a Chevy Spark or Toyota Yaris be better in almost every possible way?

Are the Yaris and Spark as tiny as the Smartcar? People I know who use Car2Go in the city love them because you can literally park ANYWHERE.

Yeah, that's why my friend got a smart car. It is the best thing to park. I make her drive if we are going anywhere in the city.

Just checked: smart car is 106", spark is 143". So about 3 feet longer.

Maybe it's a bigger niche than I thought. It's just hard for me to imagine buying a car that you can't, you know, carry stuff in. For car sharing though it makes more sense.

One day I walked out of the library and a white Smartcar was parked next to my white Echo, so I took a picture, because that is the first and last time my Echo ever looked big.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gud, I'm pretty sure the answer to 90% of your questions is: marketing.

Jesse I thought you were going to say because you weren't sure where the out of office meeting was!

Ha! I knew where it was because I went with my boss last time. And I did successfully find a buddy to walk with.

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

Yay, walking buddy! Yay, Wait Wait! (Jealous, Dana). Boo headaches, yay drugs!

Ack. If you guys could spare a good thought for our dear friends (whose wedding I officiated last summer), that would be great. They have 2 kids (they're the husband's kids from his first marriage), and really want more, so they applied to be foster parents. They're ideal candidates -- C. used to work in social services, and now he works in public health for the state. Except he's also trans. And 6 weeks ago they were told by the foster agency (who LOVES them) that their application was all processed and they passed all the background checks and the home study and they were good to go. But now their application is having problems from the state level, and it's all on C.'s side. His wife has had no problems at all.

Goddamn Trump's America.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does Ford have any idea what they are doing with the Lincoln brand?

I fear not. It seems they don't want to invest the money to come up with better cars. Or cars that are not based on Fords.

I like the Lincoln MKZ, but I also like the Ford Fusion that the MKZ is based on. If I were buying a new car now I'd get an MKZ or Fusion Hybrid.

I love my 2012 Focus that I bought new. It handles amazingly well and it's much quieter and has much better interior quality than other small cars in its class--or at least that was the case in 2011 when I bought it.
