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

A muscle relaxant might help, if you have any handy.

Yeah, that might help. Sadly, I have none.

But my jaw muscles and/or joint (right below my right ear) is/are very sore. Maybe Ibuprofen could help that somewhat....

ION, can someone send me the address for ND's hospital room? Here or profile address is OK.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are you going to steal his drugs? That's not nice, man.

$75K is the US price of happiness. $75K and good insurance, I think they mean.

Where did that chocolate go?

tommyrot, that's not a good look. Have you considered something in an Ironjaw? (Seriously, I hope it pops back soon.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ouch, tommy. Hope it gets better.

I have to decide whether it's worth the trouble of calling a couple of airlines about bereavement fares. While I was at Dragoncon, an aunt who was battling cancer passed away, and the funeral is Saturday.

I suppose it can't hurt. I just don't feel like talking to people right now (because of my general misanthropy).

I'm so offended you would think this. I was just going to borrow them....

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And I see she's a fan of Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamskirt.

Indeed!! She kept twirling and twirling and showing people her skirt, just in case they missed it.

Dana - IME the bereavement fares have always been almost double a regular, last minute fare. It's one more way the airlines try 'n fuck you.

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

That wasn't my experience, though it's going back a few years. The real advantage of those was the flexibility to change them willy-nilly. (More critical with someone in medical crisis than already gone, obviously.)

Yeah, I know, but it seems stupid not to at least check.

Usually, the bereavement fare is a discount from a full fare ticket, so no so much of a deal. But, they allow you to be flexible on the dates/times.
