On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh, root canals. Although I will say the last time I had one the pain relief was so immediate I didn’t care that I was at the schmancy expensive dentist. I went from the student place, who gave me a temp crown but didn’t treat the infection, to a faculty dentist who was afraid to treat the infection because I have so many antibiotic allergies, to some dude who used a computer to painlessly give me a root canal and antibiotics for one million dollars. Like I had to take out a loan.

I have signed the papers to become the executor today. I have scheduled a (supposedly) neutral inspection of the house next week. The paralegal said that my legal fees might actually be much lower than the percentage of the estate quoted on the paperwork, that is just what they could charge.( which is frankly not that much? It seems fair for them to do all this stuff for me and for me to just sign things. Like, 4%.). They also lowballed the bank accounts on the court paperwork, I think to save me fees because I might not be selling the house. So I think they are nice people.

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

Congratulations on passing that hurdle, Sophia, and on having nice people to help you through it
