But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I wonder if these same people would like some smallpox, as well.

Thrive to spite them
I wonder if these are the same people who claim smallpox wasn't eradicated, it's just called chicken pox now.

Nuts. I don't get to have either of those, due to my mother and her "science".

We're in the throes of a virus. Owen is barfy. I'm off to buy some ginger ale.
And some bourbon for me.

It turns out tamarind sauce makes an excellent marinade for steak.

There's a new book that tells kids how great it is to have measles.
I had measles. I had a 104 fever and hallucinated. I was given gamma globulin injections to try to bring down the fever and was hours of being sent to the hospital when it finally came down. I had to wear gloves to keep from scratching, and I'm covered with a rash and calamine lotion in the Christmas pictures for that year.
It was loads of fun.

We've got new and exciting medicine which we hope will nuke Matilda's yeast infection from orbit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you have to travel to the office, do you dress consistently to work (obviously I'm not asking Jilli, here...)? I was reading someone saying she was ill served by being an eclectic dresser, because no one knew what to expect from her, who to expect her to be.
As an eclectic dresser, I have to admit I'd never given it any thought. Some days it's "normal" business dress, which makes me stand out in my department, sometimes it's normal for my department, and sometimes it's leather and sometimes it's 50s vintage.
Is this considered a bad thing? Do people who dress like me project uncertainty which people will then apply to their work reputation?

Yeah, I am not your target answer audience. S'okay.

Buh? That seems ridiculous to me. But again, I am very biased on this sort of thing.
