No, the 1850s. We are losing control of our bodies - how long before we lose other rights? Maybe the court will next address whether letting us have the vote was a mistake?

I'll bite - what are they? (Please expect a certain amount of skepticism - my inpatient charts alone probably weigh about twice what you do.)

My first job was in Malone, NY,which is about 11 miles south of the border. I had a friend who lived a little out of town whose back yard backed up to the border; the only thing between her and Canada was a low hedge.

Does she at least wash her hands before she goes back to work? I'm not sure from this.

If a malignant sprite thinks it's disgusting, who am I to disagree?

In Italian folklore, that's the technique used to rid one's self of a folletto, which is a type of irritating house sprite. One must let the folletto see one while one is using the chamberpot and eating a sandwich simultaneously. The folletto will hurl some verbal abuse, including statements to the effect that they cannot live in the same house as such a pig, and will then quit the premises.

Not your fault - I just need to remember that I'm powerless over Star Trek.

I need to stop, ghostie, or I'm going to relapse and start binging - there are a couple of those nostalgia channels that play TOS through Voyager, and if I start watching, I'll never get anything done.

Well, there was the whole Dr. Pulaski/ Data interplay on TNG, too...

Well, from what I remember of original canon, it's not that Vulcans don't have emotions, it's more like they suppress them and place more importance on being logical and objective. (I know that the animated series isn't generally considered canon, but there's an episode where Spock goes back to Vulcan and sees himself as a child being bullied by some other Vulcan kids. That actually makes more sense in line with T'Pring's actions in Amok Time.)

Well, in the original, she was fooling around with another guy (which is why she chose Kirk as her champion), so she was established in the original canon as kind of a bitch...

Maybe it's a pon farr thing - isn't that like every seven years? (T'Pring being there, I mean)

Oh, right. T'Pau was the old lady.

T'Pau?

It's taken me two days to decide, but orange, grey, yellow.

The only two I'm sure I don't want are the beard one and the memory one. Could probably do without the airport one, too. The rest are going to be a challenge to choose between.

Quit bitching - my kids are older than you. Also, 🍻🎂🍻

Not half as old as I did when you talked about Star Trek being 50. And congrats to your nephew.

This is the most grateful I've been for my hysterectomy in quite a while.

Take it to rants.

I have a mental picture of you looking like the "after" in a Wiley Coyote plan, holding the remains of a chainsaw clearly labeled "ACME."

The Merge is on....

Words to live by.

I hate those Skippy place commercials. It's peanut butter. Just peanut butter. Stop pretending that it combines the best features of pot and benzos.

He's not even protecting pre-born babies. Notice that he doesn't mention anything about funding improved prenatal care.
