Our wings are not tired.

Oh, Hil. No good. Hydrate like mad. At least you can rest now?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

This sounds amazing: CAR-T therapy forces autoimmune diseases into remission.

Holy crap. We desperately need something. I wonder if they’ll try it on ME/CFS.

I’m sorry, Dana. This fucking year indeed.

Hil, yay and boo in that order.

Laura!! Report back! Did he go? How is he?

I wish my dad would go ahead and decide not to have Xmas this year so I can maybe make other plans. I’ve toyed with the idea of traveling, but I don’t like flying at the holidays. My car needs an expensive repair before I drive it anywhere far. I think I would like to go for a hike or something, which means driving up north at least a couple of hours. But really, I could use a staycation to get my house in order, literally, and the guest room ready to go.

I have grown older, but not up.

I wonder if they’ll try it

It's a popular research/clinical trial topic.

For prostate cancer, the responses have been pretty evenly divided between good effect/marginal effect/no effect.

No! I am still working on him. Maybe tomorrow?

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

I had the vague start of plans to go to Disneyland next spring, but since the Mansion is a very large part of why I'd go, that probably won't happen.

Is the Haunted Mansion in Disney World going to be closed at the same time? Or in EuroDisney?

My goodness there’s nothing like quitting a job to show you who cares about you vs. who cares about themselves. People are disappointing!

I'm sorry, flea. Yes, people can be very disappointing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In my experience, that does make it easier to leave, at least.
