You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, 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

Osteopaths don't really have the same level of education as MDs. Their philosophy is more holistic, which many people like, but there's some criticism that they're less likely to prescribe medicine or surgery, which can be good or lethal. I would think that being in a practice with an MD would mitigate that.

From most of what I've heard and read, that's less of an issue nowadays. And they've got four years of med school plus residency, and lots of them do residencies in the same programs as MDs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

From way upthread, this already got lots of love from Teppy, but still:

I always insist I get three bags for every individual item I buy at the supermarket. An then I go home and burn each bag separately.

I read this and first I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself, and then I was suddenly overcome with the desire to bitchslap everyone in Tom Scola's family for not only not recognizing what a funny, sweet, spicy-brained smartass awesome individual he is, but for saddling him with so many issues and worries that half the time he doesn't recognize it himself.

Seriously. If Scola were in my family, we'd have spent the last few decades wearing ourselves out W00T-ing and high-fiving each other: "DUDE! We're RELATED TO TOM. Does that kick the ass of every other family on earth or what?"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This just in, Noah is still cute. So is Kat, even though she is making a goofy face in that photo.

Also, what JZ and Teppy said.

Today sucks - science says so!

Hey, if I didn't have today off, I'd totally agree. But this is the first time in eight years of working that I get it off, whoot!

So it's 10AM, I'm awake (ish), it's SUNNY in Seattle (!!!) but COLLLLLLLD. What do I do??

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

If Scola were in my family, we'd have spent the last few decades wearing ourselves out W00T-ing and high-fiving each other: "DUDE! We're RELATED TO TOM. Does that kick the ass of every other family on earth or what?"

Scola is in our family, and I for one start out with an air of smugness each morning looking at all the other people, thinking, "Yep. I know Scola."

Megan, are you an animal person? This place is gorgeous and fabulous and I've wanted to go for ages: Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is located at Angel Canyon, a 33,000-acre ranch in the majestic red-rock country of southern Utah, just outside the town of Kanab. The sanctuary is at the heart of the famous Golden Circle of national parks, close to Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon's North Rim, Bryce Canyon, and Lake Powell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmph. I went to go get my 2pm massage, except they have me down for 3! Luckily, it's only 10 minutes away, so I just came home. But still!
