I will totally go with you! You looking for a companion?

Totally, Zen! (Are we FB friends? My profile addy is good too). Puerto Vallarta's a little farther for you, but it's super cheap....Miami I can't find a decent hotel cheap.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just went to the employee pharmacy to get a decongestant. It has been YEARS since I bought one. They keep everything behind the counter, because it is just for employees, and I couldn't really see so I asked what they had in a non-drowsy decongestant. They had to call a pharmacist, and he asked me all sorts of questions about high blood pressure, etc, and then gave me the red sudafed. I had totally forgotten about all the restrictions, so then I had to show my ID, and sign a paper, and he had to talk to me about dosage, and that it also might make me jittery. It was weird. And I only got 24 (not that I will need more. I think I am only going to take one and see what that does, because I do not need to be jittery, just to be able to breathe.

not your mom's socks.

I'm headed to the dr. in a bit to see what's on this CATscan CD thingy, and hopefully to figure out how to keep the sinus revolt from happening again this year. If they can tell me why my light/glare/strobe issues continue to kick my ass as well, without it being something horrible that requires surgery, I'll be pretty happy. Even more so if they give me a copy of the CD to take home and mess around with on photoshop.

Still, hello apprehension.

Why getting married on horseback may not be a great idea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Perhaps my wedding plan to have my bride ride a T-Rex requires some fine-tuning....

Good luck, Sox.

Someone just posted on our local listserv for a babysitter to spend overnights with her 2 kids three nights a week (she's a nurse) for $5/hour, so I sent her a list of wage and hour laws (off-list) that are applicable.

I don't think I should have to mind my own business if she posts publicly for an illegal arrangement, but she seems to think so. IN ASSCAPS.

$5 an hour? wow.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sparky, you did the right thing. She's just pissed about being called out on being an unethical beeyotch.

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

Huh. Perhaps my wedding plan to have my bride ride a T-Rex requires some fine-tuning....

Especially since Marc Bolan is dead. I guess she could ride a zombie Marc Bolan, but that doesn't sound particularly elegant.

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

Hell, you were being nice doing it off list. I might not have.

I think maybe if you can't ride a horse you're more likely to think it's a deeply romantic thing to do for your wedding, but then it's also a much more unpredictable thing to happen on a fraught enough day anyway. If you seriously need your horse led that 20 feet, Nellie has no place in your wedding day.
