Sounds like things are moving in a good direction, Steph. I'm glad.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Zen totally check out GoodRx. I use them and it helps some. My Vyvanse is still $200 a month, which is more than I can really afford but it's less than the $300ish it would be without the GoodRX.
Teppy I'm glad that your dad's doctor just didn't have the full information instead of not being a good doctor. And I'm glad there is a lot your brother can do to help support y'all even though he is in CO.

I didn't watch the RNC except what little I saw in passing because M's mom had it on . She told us she is writing in M's name instead of voting for Trump or Biden. In hindsight I should be just asked her what her objections to Biden were instead of telling her she might as well not vote.
M had been mocking the number of flags so she was feeling defensive anyway. I'm pretty sure all of M's family is going to vote for Trump. I think they still support him , well his mom doesn't really but she might be the only one.

Our wings are not tired.
Hooray for your brother, and the doc, and bourbon!
Indeed! That was all very good to read, Teppy. Phew!

I speak from experience of knowing the relief you get from something not being as big a disaster as it might have been! Yay Teppy, JZ and Hec!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yay, progress, Teppy!
I don't have a big cartoon-style steel trap laying around my apartment, but I do have a box of about 200 steel roofer's nails, a dozen spherical ceramic knobs left over from assembling my coat rack, and some green paint. Looks like I found a craft project to keep me occupied this weekend!
CALTROPS!

Good to hear that something's gone right for someone.
me me me ... we have mosquitoes in the office ... since I'm usually the only one here, I get all their attention ... Tuesday I went home early because I had a good half-dozen bites that were actually painful (even after slathering the bites with Benadryl ointment) and one got me again
