tangent: seeing Myxomatosis reply to UsagiBunny made me snicker. And I needed a snicker after reading this.

Also, I just looked, and Valley County, Montana, has a TOTAL population per the Census of 7,369. I don’t think they’ve got the resources for intensive community-based out-patient treatment for pedophilia (which we don’t even know this mook has).

I wouldn’t trust Charles with my dog (well, if I lived in the UK. And had a dog).

All the dudes I knew in high school who diminutive names (Bobby, Eddie, etc) all transitioned to their adult forms before graduation. (Though poor Bob’s parents still called him Bobby, because he’s a III and they had to differentiate him somehow.)

I know this is late; but whenever I’m getting a vax booster, I’m asked if I’m allergic to eggs or latex.

I majored in Criminal Justice* back in the paleolithic (okay, the 1980's) and the classes were about 2/3 jerks with power complexes and 1/3 folks who wanted to actually serve and protect. I’m pretty sure it’s the 2/3 who flourished in their careers...

Yup, I’ve been athy for... 25 years now? whoa, old... and I still slip up with the occasional “Holy Mary mother of god” when frustrated at idiocy, or my dad’s favorite, “Jesus WEPT” (with a tone of withering scorn).

Spouse and I liked to tell our spawn, “Use your powers for good!” (Also, “Make good choices,” in a terrible NYC mom parody accent.)

Thanks for the Journey earworm. They are officially the #1 “Band I hate but can sing along with EVERY GORRAM SONG”. (Looks for a way to send a punch over TCP-IP.)

I worked while my husband stayed home with our spawn; now that she’s out and on her own, I try not to let it hurt when she contacts him for emotional support (it stings, a little) because it completely makes sense — he was the one who was there for her.

tangentially, your username is giving me data processing flashbacks, and not the good ones. ;)

I’m going to share my Surf Punks earworm: “Ocean’s nothing but a fish toilet, fish toilet, fish toilet...” You’re welcome. :D

Make sure it’s RFC 2549 compliant...

... it seemed that the style of treatment was antagonistic and damaging to Jeff Conaway ...

... I have chosen to look at the whole experience as educational ..

I was diagnosed at 42. It sucked. (Goodbye, beer. Goodbye, french bread. Goodbye, Goldfish crackers. Hello, increased grocery bills.)

My spawn did a summer quarter in China during college and had a dickens of a time finding safe food. Which is weird, because so much GF food is manufactured there.

I’ve got celiac, and I call them “tourists”, because they won’t be in gluten-free land forever; soon they’ll be off chasing the next dietary fad. Yes, they’ve expanded my food options, but they can also endanger my health by paradoxically making food service personnel less cautious about cross-contamination because…

starred for Barrowman :D
