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

I love those guys! I keep saving their videos to watch later because watching YouTube is not something I can do much of for some reason, but what I have seen has been just delightful

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sorry, Tep. That's scary and stressful.

It turns out she was just very constipated and gassy.

I vividly remember having to pick up Emmett from school because of intense stabbing stomach pains and being able to relieve just with Gas-X. Which we always keep in the house now for that moment. Just a reminder that gas can be very painful.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yeah, like I said ltc doesn't complain, so I knew it was really painful.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was once in the emergency room (teaching hospital attached to a university) and I overheard, from the next cubicle, a college student being told that she was constipated and given a laxative. So ... it can persist into almost-adulthood.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

They did an X-ray and you can see the pockets of gas and constipation and it was quite substantial. I feel like a bad momma who wasn't monitoring her bathroom habits enough.

Just got an automated call - both offices are closed today due to smoke. Makes no actual difference to me, I'll be working from home with a Vog mask on either way, but we won't be shipping any orders out either, or receive inventory. This should be interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Steph. All best thoughts for you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hugs, Steph. I'm so glad your brother has the professional chops for this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Update: my brother says my dad is refusing to go to the hospital, but he's going to call him later and check on him. He plans to visit my dad in person tomorrow and, at the very least, get his guns.

This is FUCKED UP. I really can't even handle this.

I'm so sorry, Tep. That's a whole lot of not good.
