Our wings are not tired.

The electronic signature (no stylus, so fingertip on tablet) is horrible. Oh, well.

My voting place had us sign that way and compare it to my license which had a real signature. I felt bad for the person checking because near impossible.

Meloxicam is one of a very long list of painkillers that I can't take. I ended up taking Diclofenac for my painful joints and it works okay. Okay meaning it doesn't make me sick. It apparently is the same drug in the topical Voltaren.

I just saw a TikTok about how diclofenac went generic and started being given to cows in India but then when they died the vultures tried to eat them as usual but it kills vultures so caused a huge chaos (eventually it was banned for cows I guess!)

My tailbone is still hurting when I try to do squats at the gym even though it’s not otherwise feeling bruised anymore. Booo. Stupid falling down stairs on my butt. I just don’t have the same padding I used to either!

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

Thanks, everyone! I had seafood and tres leches, and soon I'm going to read some fanfic and go to bed. Ideal 50th birthday.

Happy birthday to dcp! I hope your back is feeling better and allows you to properly enjoy your day. May this year be filled with unexpected treats and delights.

Happy Birthday, dcp! May you have a fabulous year ahead!

Steph, I just relistened and heard Caspar at the end saying very quietly, "fermions and bosons," after "I love you guys." Aw, man! Comforting himself with an Ava-ism as he jumps into the line of fire .

ETA: The Leif weapon heading to Krok is low key always on my mind, yes! And "little brother,"

So much chewy goodness!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday dcp! May today be a big improvement over yesterday!

Last night I went to Baskin Robbins to pick up some ice cream for the first time in ages (daquiri ice tastes as good as I remembered) and finished it off in my carport while my first firefly of the season hovered around nearby blinking. It made for a very nice moment of calm.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, good one, Matt! I’ve never lived anywhere with fireflies, but they sound so lovely

Happy birthday dcp!!

Totally reading the MB whitefont, btw

Thrive to spite them

Happy Belated Dana Day! Happy DCP Day. Glad your day experience was uneventful.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Happy Birthday, dcp!

Steph, I just relistened and heard Caspar

Man, "fermions and bosons" (not whitefonting, since -t is reading the spoiler font anyway, as is right and proper) just killed me.
