Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Thrive to spite them

Mom gave up the fight over breakfast pretty early.. as long as I ate something and checked before I ate leftovers from dinner (In case she was going to use them) she didn't care what I age.

I wouldn't eat cereal for breakfast but I would eat it as a snack . But I'd have a tuna sandwich for breakfast. I can't explain why tuna sandwich is more appealing appealing breakfast than cereal or eggs but it is.

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

Laura, she's 10 and has always needed a lot of sleep - she kept her afternoon nap almost until kindergarten. This year she's been getting worse and worse at getting up on time for school since there hasn't been a bus schedule to keep.

(By contrast, Dylan, who turns 14 next week, has never needed ANY sleep and regularly wakes up at 5:30am and he doesn't even mind.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I guess today is the day I just send questions into the void.

I am getting some things done but I keep coming across things I need answers on annnnddddd people are not getting back to me, so I have this ever growing pile of work stuff on hold “waiting for answer”. This is what causes my anxiety to spike, too many things in limbo. I will start forgetting about things pretty soon. Time to make a list.

Our wings are not tired.

Ha, sounds familiar. Bobby would fight sleep with all his might and refused naps while his brother never had to be told to go to bed.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm sorry to hear about Nova, Sheryl. It just hurts.

Mom~ma, Matt.

Job~ma for Mac.

Laura, good luck with your PCP and surgery~ma for your DH.

Andi! Congratulations on your Researcher badge! You are the kind of DSP everyone should have caring for them. Hooray!

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

Timelies all!

Thank you for the words of sympathy. "It's always sudden" works for pets as well as people.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I don't know what it is, but it seems like a whole lot of pets have died in the past week.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Congratulations, Windsparrow! You'd be a benefit to any organization.

Congrats, Windsparrow! Also, it is so nice to see your font.

PCP didn't yell at me! He was very pleased with my weight loss and BP, and generally supportive of the health choices I am making. I mean we are talking 30 pounds in 6 months, which is so absurdly slow and frustrates me to no end. But ya know if I am down another 30 in the next 6 months that would be cool. Of course he wants me to have a variety of tests, but that is generally how he rolls, so I agreed to about half of them. Don't want him to think I'm easy or something.
