This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Guess who still has lingering symptoms of bronchitis and a sinus infection that won’t stop? Guess who has won yet more steroids and antibiotics? Guess who suffered what was undoubtedly a bout of mild-ish food poisoning last night?

I think I want a robot body.

dcp, you have my sympathy around all those appointments; I hope they deliver good results.

Shir, that sounds like a good plan.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I probably could have had a tip jar from the age of about seven. And I think he doesn't get it, either, writing back "Guess I hit a nerve," so that was a great use of an hour and a half!(Except *I* respect me for not doing the shy-girl thing, so, worth it.) Atropa, lots of suck. Sorry. In a different way, same for dcp.(I hate doctors, mostly)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Atropa, that sucks. Have you managed to convince your doctor to prescribe laudanum and a trip to the seaside?

Welcome to the world, great-great niece! (how can you have so many greats, Tep? Not that you aren't great-great, so I don't know why I am even asking, forget I said anything)

The newest little gal is a great-great because (follow this path) Tim's nephew married a woman who's about 10 years older than him, and she had 2 of her kids when she was kind of young (her kids are our great-nieces and great-nephew by marriage), and one of those kids (great-nephew) is about 20, and he's the one whose GF just had the new wee baby, which makes the new wee baby a great-great.

Tim's brothers have 8 kids between them, and those kids are all having kids, and some started early, so there's a range of ages when it comes to the great-nephews and great-nieces (oldest is 16 and the youngest was born on Thanksgiving 2025), and they all just call us plain old aunt and uncle without the greats in front of the title, because it's just a lot easier.

Shir that sounds like an excellent plan. I have a plan to go to a rage room with a friend for Galentines (her request). Figure it should be fun to smash some plates and stuff

Alas, not yet. If I have to do another round of antibiotics, I’ll see if she’ll do it.
