so sorry about the migraine. Sheryl, isn't that a drag?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Today is Matilda's birthday! If you were around to read the original announcement of her birth then you are 20 years further on now.
She is not a teenager; she's a twentysomething.

Not sure if I actually read that, but I'll trust you Hec. (I do remember some early postings about fascination with toes--I'll assume that doesn't come up anymore, unless in a chemical context a girl wouldn't share with her parents.)

I love that we have been together to watch her progress over the decades, plural! You and JZ raised a remarkable young woman.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy belated birthday, Matilda!
I'm in DTW on an annoyingly long layover (almost 3 hours since my other flight got in early) and have reached the Am I Hungry Or Just In An Airport stage of travel. (Closely related to the mental state Am I In The Mood To Day Drink Or Am I Just In An Airport)

Time has no meaning on airport layovers, therefore it isn't day drinking.

ION, guess what derailed my plans for socializing today? Time to figure out if the highly rated but doesn’t take insurance migraine specialist is worth the cost, and if my insurance provider would reimburse any of the cost.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Atropa, I don't want to armchair quarterback, but let me know if you'd like to hear about what I've done with various migraine specialists.
