Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Healing~ma for Bob's mom.
Ugh. Asshole neighbor was at it again. Mr. S is here, and wanted to play outside on our front lawn. Neighbor basically told him to go inside. He also told Gary to do something about our yard. (Now I know who put the sticky notes on our door a few weeks ago telling us to cut our grass) Gary got pissed off and yelled at him. (Did I mention that neighbor has several pro-Tr*mp signs in his front window, plus two signs saying "Kamala Harris sucks" that went up well after the election?)
Going back to colonoscopies, I have one scheduled along with an endoscopy on May 30th. I already have the prep, which I can mix with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. (It's a total volume of 16 oz) I'm more concerned about the low fiber diet for three and two days before the procedure, and the clear liquid diet the day before.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I had to look up "aortic ulcer." Ouch. Do not want. ER and ICU were the right call.
Someone is being Wrong On The Internet about one of the medications I have been taking for the past five years. I posted a correction, with links to the relevant pages of the manufacturer's web site, but that seems not to have fazed him. I should let it go, but I am still angry out of all reasonable proportion, and still having difficulty with just letting it go. Grrrrrr.
clear liquid diet
Consommé if you are feeling fancy.
I went with plain ol' Swanson chicken broth.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, my, lisah, that is way too much excitement! I hope recovery is entirely uneventful and precedented

Our wings are not tired.
I hope all were able to get some rest overnight, lisah. Sending lots of healing~ma to Bob's mom. I'm glad you were close at hand to be there for her.

My first thought is always that we need JZ for these issues. It takes a lot for me to get engaged these days, because stupid people gonna be stupid. But there are times when it just hits the right button and has to be done.
I'm sorry about the asshole neighbor, Sheryl. Smiting him with losing his job in a DOGE cut and having to move away.

Has anyone been in touch with Todd recently? Today is her birthday and I am hoping her health is improving. She is missed.

Happy Mother's Day to those who enjoy this day. Hugs and love to those who want or need them.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I am so missing JZ‘s perspective on all this pope stuff.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah. Thought of her today reading a FB post about the Gilmore reboot.(Not interesting enough to share, but nice as a passing, thought.)
