Because books.

Did it go all the way to the Hellmouth?

Probably. It was the '70s.

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

Burrell, can you do me a favour and ask them how they define a sugar soda? You wouldn't have to engage, per se. Just inquire. No way that could go wrong.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I heard a story on the radio this morning about the dangers of second-hand smoke for children riding in cars with people smoking. There's talk of forbidding smoking in cars (I'm assuming if there are children present but who knows).

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

Hey, when opportunity knocks, sometimes you gotta slam the door in its face.

Not a tagline but should be

And parents who let their kids drink soda? That's parental neglect right there. **facepalm**

Urgh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

show up here late:

1) calorie counting. When I had to monitor food intake this summer after diabetes diagnosis, I used fatsecret.com (has an iphone app, maybe android too). Terrible name, but they have a lot of food in the db and it was pretty easy for me to track food intake. I like that I can track carbs and fat, whatever.

2) period: for iphone, I use pinkpad and I love it. It predicts when your next period will be and you can password lock the app. you also can indicate flow and other "symptoms." It can also be used to track fertility and whatever the fuck.

there is a social aspect to that, but I suspect you realize that I have never explored those features.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I use Noom for calorie counting because it's very basic and you just have to estimate, but it probably wouldn't do for anything more serious. And I use womanlog for my period, because it was the least offensively named. I find it very weird to know when my period will be. I mean, I used to keep the data, with a pencil in my Daytimer, but that was years ago, and I never did anything with it, like draw conclusions.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And parents who let their kids drink soda? That's parental neglect right there. **facepalm**

I'm reminded of the Daria ep where she babysits the kids who aren't allowed to have sugar. "HITLER ate chocolate!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Womanlog is a fantastic name.

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

I'm reminded of the Daria ep where she babysits the kids who aren't allowed to have sugar. "HITLER ate chocolate!"

I love that bit.

Tad: Sugar rots your teeth.
Tricia: Sugar makes you hyper.
Tad: Hitler ate sugar.

Yearly review, yay. I'm not pushing myself enough. I should be achieving more. What the hell is wrong with being steady and reliable and doing a good job day to day? Why do I have to keep pushing for more and more? I don't want to be promoted, I'm happy being the grizzled sergeant who knows what's where.
