It's EastEnders on Gawker: "[T]hreatening the public ouse with extinction..."

Wow. I was listening to "Dark Side of the Moon" when I clicked on this story.

I understand that, and I'm glad I pulled it off. And I do credit something in my body telling me "no, stop this." I was probably one of the binge drinkers who sort of grow out of it. It is nice to keep able to keep liquor and wine in the house without drinking all of it. The one hangover I've had in two years helped…

My ancient kitty does the same thing. She's always been an active dreamer.

That difference between our drinking was why I didn't go to AA. I can be a bad binge drinker but my body has odd limits. It won't let me drink that much. And when I get really scared and stressed, a drink is the last thing I want.

I taught myself moderation. How? By reminding myself that my will is strong, being aware of why I consumed waaaay too much and honing in on understanding myself. I don't drink much at all now, and it's easy to stop at a glass of wine or two. I'm a habit-forming person, so it amounted to breaking a very, very strong…

This is a massive feat of engineering: http://www.islandofgalveston.com/Events/EveGrad…

I am in Texas, where women are under fire thanks to our lege and Rick Perry. Not only have they pulled the "abortion clinics must be ambulatory surgery centers" stunt, but Rick Perry vetoed our Equal Pay legislation.

I avoided nerve damage and did every single thing Occupational Therapy told me to do, plus more.

No way! Glad to not be alone. (I am a girl Gregor,)

I finally started really crying when they were injecting lidocaine. Then I apologized with tears pouring down my face.

(shudder) Thinking about those popping and sloughing off.

The caveat before the horror: No alcohol was involved. None. Which makes this worse.

I was torn: Reply or immediately stop practice reading and writing and head to my nearest forestry?

There are so many typos in this I skipped to comment only to see something about a "precedence-setting Supreme Court decision." First, it's "precedent." Second, it's the Supreme Court. It is their job to set precedent.

The fact that it was a jury verdict makes all the difference in the world. Holy hell. Do they have a General Counsel-or an Interim since the last was fired? Who is looking out for Rutgers in this mess?

Christ. And people wonder why sick people are in a bad mood.

The sad thing is, insurance companies have nurse guides/helpers but you don't get one until you get really, really sick. Get cancer and they'll call. Believe me.

Oh, sheer hotness. I'll do jazz.
