Thrive to spite them

No fever. I don't feel cold now. I think it was just from being active and then sitting at lunch...because I'm making the frozen section look nice right now and it's not bothering me .

I'm just congested and I took another dose of Sudafed and it hit after lunch and I was acting a little spacey. Possibly a lot spacey.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yes.

It was mild as heck but clearly a shakey shake.

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

We had an earthquake yesterday that was notable for the epicenter being only 3 miles from me, but I didn't feel it. Weird the way shaking travels through the ground, or sometimes doesn't. Something about the way the fault lines run, I would guess. And this one was on the other side of a bunch of water, maybe that dampens it? No pun intended.

I joined a FB group, Florida Women for Harris, and they have gone nuts, over 30,000 members and growing at a mad rate. Lots of them are from deep red areas, like The Villages. Encouraging. There are bunches of pictures of plastic flamingoes painted blue wearing pearls and sneakers on people's lawns. So cute! Makes me wish I had a FL lawn.

That is great to hear!

Oh man I just learned Shirley Chung has Stage 4 tongue cancer. She was on Top Chef and has been on several Food Network competitions and she is always bubbly and funny. She said she is doing chemo and treatments to try and get rid of the cancer and not lose her tongue.

I'm not familiar with her at all, but that must be pretty rough for a chef!

'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"

My brother had tonsil cancer (and is more than 5 years past it, yay!) so I fully believe that tongue cancer is a thing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I’ve heard of tongue cancer, but mostly in people who were life long smokers, which seems unlikely for a chef. Since they have to be able to taste things accurately and all.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've mostly heard it in reference to men who use chewing tobacco, but I guess cancer can randomly crop up in any organ without a clear reason for the location.

Last night was the first time political commentary has given me a feel-good belly laugh in, oh, about eight years: [link]
