I am cognizant that she's basically growing a whole new body without the benefit of dissolving into a goo within a cocoon.

Right now I would be down with dissolving into goo within a cocoon if it meant the new body came with less pain issues and a better back.

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

A million years ago I read a short story that postulated that menopause and whatever the parallel male thing is are interrupted forms of a transformation like unto dissolving into goo within a cocoon and within the story some environmental change made it possible to complete that change. I think about that a lot. If Intelligent Design were a real thing, something like that would probably happen.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Vortex!

Gary has this container of Dark Chocolate Power Mix on his desk, so I helped myself. Dried pineapple, yum. Almond, good. Dark chocolate covered.....coffee bean, bleah.(I didn't know what it was until I crunched down on it. I don't like the taste of coffee at all)

Yeah, and as I recall there was some sort of exoskeleton/armor being grown which also sounds like a pretty good idea.

Maybe an even better idea than bubble wrap!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think an exoskeleton made of bubble wrap would not last very long because it would be too tempting to pop all the bubbles.

What if you could grow new bubbles?
