I do like the Gin-Gins hard candies that Steph linked.
I also like these, from Tummydrops: [link]
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I should probably try this. Any time I get any way under the weather, my system at least debates a vomit. Maybe my stomach's like Dawn all "GET OUT! GET OUT!"

The ginger mints from Trader Joe’s are very good, and I recently found ginger chews at the Dollar Store that are also very nice.

I strongly recommend getting a few rx meds from your doctor. Like maybe it won’t be an issue but maybe you can head it all off with a tiny number of pills.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My doctor's pretty responsive, so if I have problems I can get an Rx from him quickly.
He also the other day, said without prompting, that height didn't really affect most things, and I started with, "Except BMI," and he joined in, "which is bullshit."

Sounds like the doctor version of a keeper.

That’s good—they gave me like ten, when I asked (long after I should’ve) but I was taking it on Fridays and then suffering on weekends (at which point I couldn’t have called for a prescription anyway!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Welcome, Friday!
After two gloriously sunny and summery days it's back to fogged in hard. Boo! Oh well, my scarf collection is getting a workout.
I have noon pilates and then my weekend begins, with socializing beginning at 3pm with my friend Michelle (back from international summer travels with her family).
I've had JZ's Cousin!Nicole visiting this week taking refuge from the blistering Sacramento heat. She's been here often enough that we have a routine, and it's very low key. Mostly we get together in the evening to watch something. This week we watched Wednesday and then stayed Burton-esque with the Johnny Depp Dark Shadows.
What's everybody doing for fun this weekend? I am continuing to clean house and put things in storage now that Matilda has gone to college. Clearing decks as it were.

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

Pirate Weekend at NY RenFaire! Arrgh!
