That sounds bad, Tep. I’m glad you have awesome doctor
I don’t know what to say, Sheryl. I’m sorry it’s so hard. I think about you guys a lot.

More annoying than bad, I guess (unless it really does require surgery). Nerve pain is just so...zappy, like electricity, which is weird as hell.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That sounds bothersome, Steph. Anytime I have issues with back or neck pain my body reminds me how much moving anything else affects them. I get the interconnectedness of all things, but does that have to start with our spinal columns?

Almond butter granola: Here’s a question I saw two lawyers debating on Instagram. If a vampire policeman has a signed warrant, could he enter your house without you giving him permission? (The lawyers disagreed with each other on this.) [link]
What do we think? And would it vary with jurisdiction? The above was US-centric, but what about other countries that have warrants (and, presumably, vampires)?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I say nay. The prohibition is outside the judge's scope.

Agreed, although if a non-vampire cop can enter with the warrant and invite the vampire in I guess that might work?

Hmm... I say no. A warrant is definitely not an invite from the resident.
(One reason I’m selfishly glad women’s sports aren’t more popular…I couldn’t easily afford things like the World Cup if it was men’s pricing!)
All of our tickets are for women's events!
Grace and I went with a friend to see Eileen Harris Norton's collection of art a gallery downtown. I'm sort of obsessed with Harris Norton. I love that she started collecting when she was still a teacher (she talks about going to May Company and how they had a museum on the third floor. She bought a print from Ruth Waddy. I'm blown away with how many beautiful pieces she owns.

Surely they must have answered that question at some point on Forever Knight?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I don't think they had the invitation trope on Forever Knight. The weekly murderous vampire usually wasn't killing people out on the streets.

Our wings are not tired.
I finally did my corporate tax return today. Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle the personal. Also, my MIL moved back into her place today, and SIL still hasn't murdered her. She's always said she could never live with her kids, and we all believe it now.
