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.

Thrive to spite them
I wrote a post about how nice my past two days off were but something happened and it didn't post .

Deep cut, brenda

Nice, Brenda (I had to look it up, full disclosure.)
Also -- the style guide wars, heh.
Glad you enjoyed your time off, askye!

That’s nice askye!
I just scheduled my first colonoscopy for next month. Whee? I do think it’s obnoxious that they demand the name of a person who will be accompanying you before they let you schedule. Like wtf—who I can get is very much going to be dependent on when it is! Anti single people is what that is.

ENTIRELY OBNOXIOUS!
Lemon wedges.
Don't swallow any of it, but sort of press them against your teeth and suck to kill the gagging taste of the drank.
