Tin foil won't help, but moving into a double wide may.

It would be easier if I were, but no, I'm riding herd on Dexter. He has a tendency to watch Minecraft videos during class.

Belated 🍻🎂🍻! (I guess this makes it more like happy birth week than happy birth day, but what the hey.)

🍻🎂🍻 Sorry I'm late, but 3rd grade ain't gonna pass itself.

Blueberry, please, and I'll bring the syrup.

Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of Dexter and DeeDee's school going to remote learning. Jesus wept, I am really tired of this.

I've gotten some used stuff really cheap - like less than $ 1 - on Amazon, but I was looking for specific authors and titles. Don't know how that would work if you were just browsing.

Cool. Nothing like a ruptured spleen and disordered clotting... except that if you'd ruptured it, you'd have been dead last night. Maybe it's a splenic hematoma. And maybe it's just trauma review time again.

Meh, I look at it as a chance to review liver pathology. It's a good workout for my questionable brain. And now I get thoracic trauma as well...I probably owe Zeni a debt of gratitude for helping me to stave off dementia for another day.

I wonder if he has varices...

No. To be quite honest, I never really saw the appeal.

That is a most excellent question.

I have jumper cables. Don't tempt me.

Fuck you. I personally am about as anonymous as they come.

Depends. You may have cracked your sternum, or you may have bruised your heart (inevitable if you did indeed crack your sternum), neither of which can be acertained without diagnostic testing - or on autopsy (bruising of the heart can cause myocardial irritability, which can lead to potentially lethal arrhythmias.) Additionally, your clotting profile is probably a freak show right about now, so internal bleeding isn't out of the question. tl;dr Call somebody in real life; anonymous message boards are a bad place to get medical advice, especially in an emergency.

But does one judge an author by who he influences, or on who influenced him? (Genuine question, born of ignorance - I took exactly one English course in college.)

Can you really consider Nabakov an American writer, though? (Just because the plot of Lolita sounds vaguely like the illegitimate offspring of Chris Hansen and Jerry Springer doesn't make it an American novel, even if Jeremy Kyle is off the air.)

Oh, yeah. No hills in Florida.

Get the stick - you can paint the jeep. I drove a stick in Orlando for about 5 years. It's not a big deal even in traffic once you get back in the groove. (Granted, it was a Saturn, which was very forgiving, but still...)

To heck with the color, get the stick.

You get a like because we don't have an "ohgodno" reaction for the thought of a bucket of crickets , but ohgodno 😱

Could be worse. At least crickets aren't spiders.

They'll probably constipate the ever loving shit out of one (so to speak).
