Because books.

I'm gonna go with that and call the day a success.

I think it calls for cake, personally.

Thanks, Cass!

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

I have one like this [link] or this [link] that helps.

Mine is not as much with the total compression now because I've had it a really long time and washed it many dozens or hundreds of times, but it used to be good at compression too. Now it's more of a reminder that I should be careful when I do long walks or yoga. Especially yoga.

That is a great article, le n. Fascinating.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And the rounds of Craigslist insanity begin.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I got to spend the day looking up material related to ion exchange chromatography.

I still don't know what that means though.

I used to use Opcon A allergy eye drops and they helped a lot but weren't working as well as I'd wished because of crazy allergens. I tried Zaditor on the rec of a doctor and whoa. I don't get a full 12 hours from them but I get almost all day or a good night's sleep relief.

I know trees and dander and all of those things attack many of us, so sharing the yay.

edit: Oh and cheaper at CostCo (no script but at the pharmacy). I think I paid $11 yesterday so I could have a bottle in my purse before the wildflowers well and truly get their freaks on around me.

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

ion exchange chromatography.

Sounds like technobabble from ST:NG.

"Reverse the polarity on the ion exchange. Adjust the chromatography to the valence of the Romulan shield."

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

See, I was thinking an ion exchange was some sort of scifi key party.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It sounds like colorful static electricity to me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

t looks at ion in hand, looks at remaining protons, sighs
