It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’m sorry you lost your uncle, Hil. Much peace to you and your family.

Sheryl, I hope the program is helpful.

Appointment ~ma, Debet.

I like both cheesecake and brownies separately, and I could see them working well together.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry for your loss, Hil. Tough to not be there, but yay technology.

Sheryl, may the transition be as smooth as possible for all of you.

Medical~ma, Debet.

Not a cheesecake fan so I'll take all the brownies.

DH picks up his car today!

Ugh. I had a friend bring over takeout last night and I thought I’d eat it for lunch today….and then I left it sitting on the counter overnight. It’s tofu pad Thai but the internet seems convinced it will kill me if I eat it for lunch. Booooo

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

I would definitely eat that, meara, but I am cavalier about food safety.

I think that tofu is fine. If it were shrimp pad Thai, I’d say no

Always Anti-fascist!

I would not, but my system seizes on any excuse to throw a tizzy. Which, more than anything else, even though there's plenty of else, killed my high school Peace Corps fantasies. Nobody needs to watch me finish the well then look for another hole to be sick in.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd probably microwave it an extra minute just to be sure, but without meat or dairy it should be safe.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Since it’s tofu I concur.

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

Timelies all!

Valentine's Day here is a little haphazard, as we haven't had time to plan anything. So Gary has gone out to pick up take-out from a local Italian restaurant, as delivery would take much longer. We couldn't order from a couple of our favorites, as we had to wait until Gary got home, and they weren't doing online orders by that time. Should be fine.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm pondering take-out options now.
