Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why do I get a bezoar?

It counteracts poison (in Harry Potter), so I presume it'd clean up your gutty wuts too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh. I went to a "Bad Eggs" place.

Oh. I went to a "Bad Eggs" place.

I always wondered why that creepy monster was called a bezoar. It's nothing like a bezoar.

Although I assume the polgara demon is nothing like Polgara.

Thank you, it's good to know I wasn't the only one wondering this.

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

You haven't spent quality time with her.

A co-worker just made me google a fact because he said I was wrong. OMG, don't start a fist fight in my place of business. I damned well know a complex carb when I eat one. He asked me why I was competitive. I told him "because I woke up this morning."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Okay, I'm laughing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Gotta pack tonight. Heading to Atlanta tomorrow for a con.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Fwiw Consuela, the social worker who did my Mom's "evaluation" at the Retirement Castle was able to get her to agree to help that she wouldn't even talk to me about. Some of it was because the advice came from capital-A Authority rather than one of her children.

Bringing in some kind of third-party expert/coordinator may cost extra but may pay off both for you AND your parents.

If only that would work. It's worth calling my mother's PCP, I suppose, but in general Mom's been suspicious & distrustful of everyone on this topic. Although she is in general very respectful of actual doctors, even though she never follows their advice.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

javachik, that's awesome and I'm sorry.

I *love* reading on the Kindle. I didn't expect to, but I do.

I hoped I would, but it hasn't grabbed me. That may yet change. We'll see.

It's really great when I read while eating or standing on BART because it eliminates the whole "keeping the pages down" issue. I really didn't think I'd like it either, but I've found it very convenient.
