Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've been trying to ramp up my fiber and liquid consumption, probably not consistently enough, but it's still more than before I was on ABs and regular.

Fiber is really going to be your friend in this situation. And liquid makes the fiber work better.

Oatmeal, spinach or other greens in a smoothie with fruit (which itself has fiber), veggies and fruit in general, nuts, beans, and dried fruit like raisins are good fiber sources.

Or get really drunk on cheap grain alcohol and eat a lot of Taco Bell. It will work, but it will be horrific. (Source: I went to college and made poor decisions.)

So fiber is better.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just opened the bottle of Pierre Cardin that was delivered for me today, and clearly had no idea exactly how big an 8 oz. cologne spray bottle would be. Not only will I never run out in my remaining lifespan, I'll also have an effective blunt weapon within arm's reach if an intruder ever surprises me while I'm showering.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yeah, the whole review thing is pretty bullshit when they say across the board that one job title can't get high rankings. It is to control the amount of raise given, but then they should just put caps on raises. Bullshit. Layoffs are not coming, not in the field anyway.

Car passed the smog check, hooray!

Yeah, that is some morale killing bullshit. Is there a reason to stay there?

yeah good pay and benefits, plus one more year until I get an extra week of vacation.

I plan to move in 2019, 2020 anyway, so I'd rather wait and do only one job search in the next 5 years.

So there's this fluffy black stray I've been calling the Tribble because it looks like a small round one(this story is not mine, not another me-feline-drama) that Sarah&Joe set a shelter up for and were feeding on their porch. Seemed kinda feral, would run from people but hung out on all our porches. Sarah's been waging a campaign to befriend it/him.She even got him to submit to brushing (liked it lots.) Anyway, I get an email tonight, he's in her basement and not being at all shy or feral. And she's calling him The Tribble. Her cat, who is verrrry particular, is completely indifferent. I'm gonna laugh if they end up with a cat they call The Tribble.

...and thank my stars they noticed him first and Joe set up a shelter and I was coming off Andy trauma.
