That's scary and frustrating, Sue. I hope she'll see her doctor. She also could have had a mini stroke.
My mother goes to doctors and has tests, but I'm not convinced she really tells them what's going on.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Matt, have you seen it done voluntarily? I would put that into a different category, I guess?
Participants were smiling and laughing in the photos I saw, so I assume it must have been voluntarily although alcohol was probably a factor. Note that the version I've seen was the 5th one listed at Urban Dictionary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently mother is not happy right now with the state of things.
I need to go home so I can call her and see if she'll be honest with me. It's so hard from long distance, because it's easy to lie on the phone once every three days.
I mean, I know because I do it myself.
Unrelatedly, whoa, a Gizmodo author got himself banned for being an offensive doucherag to commenters. There is some right in the world.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
anyone on here Scottish, or know anyone Scottish?

Way to go BGE. They just implemented a new site for managing your account, billing, etc. First, it takes them a week to verify your bank account. FINALLY, I get notice that it's been verified. I try to sign in and..services are temporarily unavailable, please check in later. This PLUS it keeps asking me to upgrade some microsoft silverlight beta thing multiple times through out (and I say no) with each page load. Implementation FAIL.
I finally seem to be getting my swim times back. I think. I hope.

My boss just came by my desk to talk to me.
AND I WAS HERE. The phones aren't even on anymore. Jesus, woman. Go home.

ita, sorry. I know it's hard being so far away.
Sue, that is really frustrating and scary.
Maybe I'll ask my Scottish question in UnAmerican.
