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.

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.

I'm so sorry msbelle. We have had a few seizures with our dog Book and they are so scary.

Spooky, wonderful magic. Had those last time I was seriously bronchy and I was amazed.

What happened in LA? I drove to the desert from Camarillo today and the air was so clear. Insanely clear.
