Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Good luck, Matt!

House~ma, Matt!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

EpicTangent, I'm glad to read that your treatment plan is working so well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Good to see pixels, Epic. Having to fight for time while also fighting cancer is evil, the time card being ridiculous. You shouldn't have to do that.

Glad your doc was reassuring, Epic, and continuing ~ma! Ugh on the payroll stuff. What a PITA. That is outrageous that you have to use vacation time and worry about running out of PTO while you get treatment!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

This is the house that I definitely know is for sale: [link]

Our wings are not tired.

Super cute!

Thank you for the update, Epic. Good news from the doctor. I'm sorry you have to use too much of your energy resources fighting time battles at work.

Well the other house *is* for sale by the owner, but they've done extensive renovations with high end features that set the asking price well above the top of my range. Sounds like that one will make somebody a great home, just not me.
