For Tim, drinking weird-tasting stuff: Drinking a full liter of glucose solution while suffering day-long morning sickness taught me to take a large-bore straw with you. Just suck up the liquid, put the straw toward the back of your throat and swallow it down before you actually taste it. It worked for me, I hope it works for him.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That is what worked for me during my last cycle of chemo, when everything (including plain water) tasted of bitter ash. I survived on chicken soup and Gatorade for about three weeks, until my taste buds started to recover.

I got invited to a party tonight but it’s a murder mystery costume thing…where you’re supposed to be sea-creature related? I’m not into the murder mystery bit and can’t think of any sea creature type costume pieces. But I feel like I want to go because I barely know the person who invited me amd was surprised to be invited? But I may just finish catching up on bake-off.
