And because of the opioid epidemic, healthcare systems are super stingy with prescribing sufficiently powerful painkillers... Justifiably, but it still sucks. And with exceptions to the "justifiably"... this patient is going to die right here in this hospital, and within the week, no matt...

Oh, fun! You might end up with a dog who thinks they're a cat. Which can be amusing.

Perhaps they thought you were too young to be thinking that intently about the Song of Solomon.

I've been to Bryce Canyon. Took a lot of pictures with my phone. Got back to the RV and discovered that my phone-camera had somehow gotten set (or decided on its own) to use a blue filter.

So in a setting known for its rich color, I effectively took a bunch of black-and-white photos.

Trollish imagining: the "real" pics don't have the black bar. They don't have anything else in that space either. Just plain, empty, unmarked white.

Crap. Sounds like it's time for a nursing home or a live-in nurse, at least for her and possibly for both of you. She can't take care of herself, you can't provide the assistance she needs, it's arguable whether you can take care of yourself (and she definitely can't provide the assistance you need).

In the version I recall, the teacher had turned up the heat to justify opening the windows . . . when the brisk breeze blew his tie around, he looked annoyed and stapled the tie down! And that makes at least three of us who remember reading about that incident IRL... This story is also reminding me...

Um... topic title... what month again?

Gwen and I strongly suspect that it was a young juvenile male cougar that she saw in our own back-yard a couple of years ago (it jumped onto a deer sculpture and then glared at her) I don't blame it for glaring at you. That was a mean trick to pull on a hungry young cat. And it had been so proud of...

So if Atsali is running at full bore it doesn't matter what your orientation is, she's got you. I think she has to start singing for that to kick in - and it has no effect on people who already love her. For any of several values of "love" - it's known (comic canon) that Castela is immune...

Got the second one.

Not quite placing the first - but it isn't "same bat-time, same bat-channel."

Girl, most kids your age fit into one of two categories: those who don't think, and those who overthink. So you're perfectly normal.

Can't tell if he knew what he was doing, but he definitely knew what he wasn't doing.

I like the way that boy thinks...

Anything electroplated can have significant issues due to hydrogen embrittlement. This is why guns are usually plated using electroless nickel. --FreeFlier And gun barrels have rather short active lifespans anyway.

Mourn according to your own needs, not anyone's expectations.

Not even your own expectations.

Since Nov 9, 2014. Assuming you did NOT lose an account and have to create a new one.

My condolences. Losing family members is rough. --FreeFlier Very few people are really prepared for the death of a parent who did a decent job of raising them. Even if it was expected and medically overdue. Not a whole lot more if the parent did a lousy job. My sympathy in this difficult time. You'...
