That which does not kill you should RUN

We all remembered our mom's horror when all 4 of her kids were in our 60s.

I was talking to my mom earlier, and she's mortified that both of her kids are in their 50s. (Actually, I think she's amazed my brother made it to 50, because for quite a while it seemed like he was going to flame out early thanks to lots of booze and drugs. But he's turned it around pretty well.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cyborg Tep, woo! Sorry you're having Even More Back Surgery, but it seems like medical tech has improved in the last 20 years so fingers crossed this is the last one?

At my in-office book club today, the question came up of what was everyone's formative tv/movie (the main character quotes The Big Lebowski constantly). The book club lead immediately turns to me and says "Jess you go first, explain what your formative media is and why is it Buffy"

I feel so seen :)

Doug does NOT look like I pictured him (I'm assuming that's Doug down front with the giant lizardy ashleysaurus). Steve looks exactly like I pictured him (the molotov cocktails help).
