I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

I'm generally in the habit of carrying a water bottle everywhere I go. Not having one is unsettling. But apparently fine!

I do love that those water fountain filling stations are more and more common!

I ran out to buy a snack (mango mochi!) and more importantly, lotto tickets. $800 million tonight, trying to think lucky thoughts!

Hydration is key, yes.

My body now tells me when I'm dehydrated through painful leg cramps in bed. Well, I mean, I pay attention to it, so I guess it's not a bad strategy. Better than telling by having me pass out or something.

I'm eating low fat these days to help my mini-testine and additional plumbing manage food and it's aftermath better. It's working quite well, actually, which is great!

But, god, I miss you in large quantities, butter. You are so delicious.

Cooler here today than the last two days, but apparently we're getting more soon.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

(Do we have any other brass players here? Nothing came out of my spit valve the whole time!!)

Not only do we have other brass players here, we have other trombonists. Although I haven't played in public in a few decades. Yes, nothing coming out the spit valve is definitely a sign you're not taking in enough fluids.

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

Timelies all!

Had another night go pear-shaped with Mr. S. Yesterday he slipped on a field trip from camp and hurt his foot. The pain seemed to come and go. I gave him Children's Tylenol. A little while later he insisted on going to urgent care. While there, he had a major meltdown and ended up going(with Gary) in an ambulance to the ER. Where he fell asleep. I had to go pick them up, since Gary's car was still at urgent care. We ended up going to bed after midnight.

Then the smoke alarm went off for no reason at 5. Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You poor guys, Sheryl. It's just one thing after another.

Karl, I feel like you would love the Honk community!

Y'all, there are people on tumblr discovering Dogs in Elk right now!!!! [link]

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

Buffistae, I have a writing assignment to write about a character or actor who died on a TV show. So either a character gets killed off, or the actor dies and the show has to deal with it.

Anyway, a lot of the obvious choices have been taken including Joyce on Buffy and Henry on MASH and Tasha Yar and Chuckles the Clown and Lane Pryce.

I have a wide open field on GoT deaths and Seymour the dog on Futurama if I want, but what character deaths (on a TV show - so we can't use Wash on Serenity) had the most impact on you? Or which ones do you think are worth writing about?
