Dumb Ponder of the Day:

If I drink milk every single day, even excessively, will my bones become invincible? My skins and organs may die, but they will never stop my skeleton.

(Also, throat still hurts. I suspect that it was some minor bacterial infection.)

When you die, you may be dead and gone, but your skeleton will spring to life, creating a new version of you that is similar in every way but memory and fleshiness.

Reverse ponder: Does never drinking milk mean I don't have bones at all? Because that would be extremely entertaining.

Thanks Obama.
You made me ungrateful, like you as a politician as well as person, and make my life a hell of minor inconveniences which loops back into me being ungrateful

Ahh, so I'm not the only one! My laptop keys P / . 0 [ ' have been giving me crap.

Ordered a replacement because fortunately, my laptop has almost every part being replaceable.

Then you'll need artificial bones, specifically titanium. That'll probably be much better, I think, without a risk of fracture.

Twitter is for dehumanising rhetoric, not for genuine open conversation between equals.

I dunno, given that my husband's family is arriving from Venice tonight and staying while they work on fixing the water damage I'm wondering now should I just go full on refugee camp. Tents outside, occasional rations. Sounds like a lot less effort.

Time to stock up on MREs and look into how much it costs to build a family bunker with all the basic amenities.

I've been in a bit of a "the worst is yet to come" mode the last few days, sorry about that.

It's fine, I have been pretty worried about the weather over the last two years myself. I figured we had a bit more time.
