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

Juliebird, Amphicars! The 2012 Swim-in Calendar says that Boston is Aug 23-26. [link]

I had to stop watching the "Ice Age Death Trap" Nova because the dying mammoths were too sad.

Ginger, me too. Jilli made me change to a more soothing program last night. So we watched the Deadliest Volcanoes one. Much better.

Am I a victim of crass consumerisation, or off my rocker adding things up?

No, because replacement value of everything you own adds up. I'm insured for 40K, and I think a reasonable payment is around $15-20/month.

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

The first place I went to charged $42 for $40K. Maybe a little more shopping around, then. Even taking metro areas into consideration.

If it helps, I used State Farm for renters.

Who is your car insurance from? You can usually get some kind of discount.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Just back from a friend's birthday party. It was outside, to our surprise and no one in our fam was dressed to be outside. But we made smores with homemade marshmallows. And drank delicious homemade sodas from her soadastream (honey, ginger, grapefruit soda + makers mark or basil infused vodka).

It was fun but twins are totally wiped out.

And I went to Nordstroms today and got fitted for bras. WTF?!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

15k is ridic low. I'd start at 25.

So, Kat, could you tell before that your bras weren't fitting? If so, how? Or was the new bra a revelation of "oh THIS is how it's supposed to fit!" I mean, I probably am wearing the "wrong" size, they say women are, but I FEEL like it fits!

I am at home on a saturday night, drinking mimosa.

The old bras were comfortable, and I thought, twins, lots of pumping, aging.... my boobs don't look as good as they once did.

In the past 6 months or so, I'd been noticing some of the dreaded quad boob no matter which bra.

So I went in and she measured the band, but not the cup and brought back a bra that was a DDD cup. WHAT? NO way. But it fit and holey mother of god, my boobs looked great. Like, OH, yeah, that's where they were 20 years and 2 kids ago.

Nordie fittings are a revelation.
