Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Aquafaba is the commonly-accepted vegan egg substitute. Also maybe something with chia seeds?

Chia seeds, flax seeds, mashed banana, apple sauce -- there are a ton of different ones for different applications. Depends on if you want the finished product to be chewy or fluffy, and on whether or not you need the egg to work as a binder.

'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"

I want to throat-punch everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris because she supported genocide in Gaza. And then light them on fire.

Seconded!

The mechanics of actually forcing 1.5 million people over into other countries is way beyond his understanding. I'm so glad we're out of Iraq because now we can get invading other Middle Eastern countries.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

DH saw eggs in the 18 per carton for $14 last week. I can eat scrambles even on an iffy tummy. I'll have to investigate Egg Beaters and suchlike.

Punishingly Intricate

I’m glad your managers aren’t letting you down, Consuela

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I’m drained today. Just going to do a little work and keep my mouse moving so it shows I’m online.

Bleargh on all of it.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm having flashbacks of every day bringing a horror worse than the previous day. We've been here before. They have to top themselves. Every day we think it can't get worse, and then.

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

I have to keep reminding myself that just because it's absurd doesn't mean he won't actually do it. This timeline is wack.

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

Eggs are available here but they are hella expensive. I've been paying close to $10/dozen for organic free-range in the supermarket (those used to be the prices I was paying at the farmstand before my local farmstand moved far away).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

100,000 eggs stolen from Pennsylvania supplier

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I got up at 5 am today to take my dad for an outpatient heart procedure (it involves sedation, so he couldn't drive himself). AND THEN, the procedure ended up being cancelled because Dad had missed a dose of his blood thinner. His heart rhythm is in Afib, which is both an irregular heartbeat and a rapid heart beat. So he was going to have cardioversion to get his heart back into normal rhythm, and they do that by shocking him.

The pre-procedure notes he had said to tell his doctor if he missed even a single dose of the blood thinner in the last 4 weeks, because missing a dose could cause a blood clot, and if there was a clot while he’s getting zapped, he could have a stroke. The pre-procedure notes didn’t say “call your doctor’s office the day before the procedure to let them know you missed a dose”; it literally just said “tell your doctor if you missed a dose,” so he thought that meant he could tell the doctor when he got to the hospital. So he did. And then they cancelled the procedure. They’ll reschedule it for 4-5 weeks from now.

I am desperately hoping they schedule it for later in the day. Or even later in the morning. 5 a.m. is fucking brutal.
