It would leak.

I don't think the excuses are false but this one rings the truest of all.

I have often felt the need for more of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I have a new policy.  When I wake up at 03:00, because I am older male an need to pee, I will not make plans for the coming day and email them to others.  Something will mess them up.  In this case a bad case of the sniffles.  Took NyQuil.  As to be expected crashed right after.  Just woke up again with sniffles again.  Taking NyQuil again and expect to wake again around 19:00, hopefully snot free.

And it is a very good thing for Grace (whose mind is still hosting them) that Pandora has not chosen a more destructive manner for her tantrum. Pandora may in fact be holding back for this very reason, and will more properly vent herself when she is safely isolated from anybody who might be injured.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that Pandora broke into 5 tantruming children all screaming in unison.

Sorry I just had to.

The eye is fine, the palms are a bit tender and the left elbow is road rashy.

The new dosage of cymbalta really seems to help keep the depression under control but damn I am out on my feet.

Not so sure about that.  I think it will be fun for us, the readers.  Might not be so fun for the people of Moperville.

Remind me to never play a tabletop RPG vs Pandora.

What, like Microsoft?

It's not a smartphone or a tablet.  It's a MacMini, running a rather old version of OS X (10.7)  I'm sure they think it's hairball worthy now.

I'm getting sleep, and plenty of it. However, it feels like all I'm doing is getting more and more tired. I might just be dehydrated, as its upwards of 90 degrees in my room at any given time, and I seem to have sprung a sweat leak like a burst water main.

Apologies! I'll try to remember.

Don't freaking scare me like that.  A wall of red text is not often a Good Thing attached to one of your posts, and normally is a Bad Thing.

Poor Dan.  I'm glad he shared with us just how hard it was to create a comic with a character death.  The Geek is strong with him.  We may have only just met Blaike, but Dan has likely known him for years.

You know, some days I really get tired of the hate showered indisciminantly on politicians.  Or lawyers, or used car salesmen, or any other entire profession.
The vast majority of people who run for an elected office do it because they honestly want to make the world, or at least their corner of it, a better place.  They start out with something local, they see an injustice, and they step up and try to do something to fix it.  Whether they succeed or not, they discover that they can indeed make a difference, or that inaction allows injustice to continue, and they carry on trying to make a difference.  Sometimes they have to give up a promising career in some other field, or time with their families, or put up with insults from total strangers who know nothing about them but just assume they must be crooked.
Not everyone agreed on what will make the world a better place.  I know I'm not going to approve of all the changes every politician wants to make.  Some of them want to make changes I would find horrific.  But I don't automatically assume they're evil and trying to commit crimes, I assume that they see the world differently and that it might even be possible for them to change their minds someday about the things we disagree about.
The current system makes it easy to make compromises for the sake of the greater good.  Some of those compromises are moral ones, and some politicians end up on a slippery slope towards doing things they never intended, but I do not believe that is the overwhelming majority so many people seem to think it is.
The term "career politician" is treated like it's one of the worst insults you can hurl, but why?  Like any job, there are doubtless tricks of the trade, things you learn how to do better and better with more practice.  Some people casually advocate a "throw 'em all out!" attitude.  Why would we want our country to be run by a group of people none of whom have any experience at doing so?  Seems to me the best way is to have some new members and some veterans to show them the ropes and provide continuity.  Like, you know, any other business/profession/skill set.
Are we really so cynical and pessimistic and even nihilistic that we'd each rather just assume everyone in the world is evil except ourselves?
