Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

I've had to switch my work computer from Apple to a Windows machine

I just involuntarily shrieked.

It's been 7+ years since I had to touch Windows and I didn't think it could get worse. I guess Windows 11 looked at all previous versions and said "hold my beer".

Jilli, for the coughing, have you tried Tessalon Pearls? They aren't opioids like codeine, but they work like spooky magic to stop coughing.

I've been taking the Tessalon Pearls every night, but am trying to make sure I have "productive coughing" as per the clinic doctor.

Productive coughing is gross, but important.

Very interesting! Not something I know much of anything about, but I like hearing about it

Fuck fuck fuck my dog just had a seizure. She’s never had one but she’s 16. She just laying still and breathing steadily now.

This is Mac’s dog and it’s never going to be a good time, but fuuuuck.
