Granted, in each instance, she eats exactly one cheese puff, which is the only non-pureed food she can manage. It's a start right?

Holy mcgoldenpuff, yes. And a lot of everything has felt like a long way to go with Grace. I remember. But I also remember not being able to see her cause she was too sick, so I took care of Noah so you could at wee smalls , then seeing her walk for the first time at her care center, then her getting a furlough for tg, then she was in the house full time, then sampling and drama llama and wtf, lady don't you know signs? Recounting that, seems do short and I've missed so much. It's a long way off until it's in the past.

Grace's cheese puff and sarameg's wise words have made me very happy.

I am also very tired. Dang it, why am I always so dang tired?

If the Beatles conspiracy site is a hoax, it's a very thorough one. I am desperate to know what goes on in the by-invitation-only "Advanced Research" forum.

I'm learning so much about the Tavistock Institute and the shadow government's mind control program! Not sure yet how it links up with the Illuminati and our alien reptile overlords, but I'm certain there are clues in the lyrics to "Octopus's Garden."

Oh well, I probably wasn't going to get very much done today anyway.

That's where you find out the entire project is under the baleful direction of one Mick Jagger.

What is hysterical to me is that they are comparing pictures of people who ARE CLEARLY THE SAME PERSON, and noting the differences! I mean, some people change a lot as they age, but Paul McCartney looks exactly the same!

Emissions passed! Apparently, that extra 65 miles was sufficient data....

I love imagined expertise. My favorite is from people who are frequently yelling about how fake an accent is when they really know nothing about accents and the actor (Glenn Quinn, Jane Leeves, et al) is actually from the country in question. Also people who think they can parse plastic surgery while never taking into account differences in makeup, lighting, or camera angles.

Woo hoo, sara! May the rest of the day proceed just as well.

I can generally spot when someone is faking an accent, but I'm not too good at identifying what accents are. There's just something a little bit weird about how people form sounds when they're thinking about the sound rather than the word. Maybe it's because I was in speech therapy for a long time as a kid, so I started paying a lot of attention to how people make different sounds. When Glenn Quinn was on Roseanne when I was a kid, I immediately said, "That's not his real accent." Hugh Laurie, though, didn't ping me at all.

Unrelatedly, I think I've decided that I'm going to France for three weeks this summer. It'll be tight but doable on my budget, and I figure I'd rather spend the money on something fun than just have it sitting there.
