Why didn't Elsa go to the doctor for her sore throat and cough? Because a cold never bothered her anyway.
If your doctor makes you get nekkid for a cold, you might want a new doctor.
Turn your head and cough.

My girlfriend has to get a new gynecologist. Apparently she decided that during her pelvic exam was a great time to practice her ventriloquism.
That is simultaneously hilarious and terrifying. Not for the gyn per se, but even if it could be funny, no way do I mess with the mind that controls the hand holding the speculum. (Yes, I do understand it was a joke. Still.)
Okay, to bed. Don't want to give the boy scout too awful advice.

WELL at least cover your mouth you savage!
gran germs. You make me sick!
And there ain't no cure.
Well, I mean, there is The Cure, but I don't think music will help.
MUSIC ALWAYS HELPS! well except country music and most pop.

Since Teensy Valeros was using my bedroom as his sick room all day today, my room now smells like stale little boy farts, my sheets are full of popcorn crumbs, and there are candy wrappers on my bedspread.
Poor little guy. Every time he coughs, I have to fight the urge to call him Gollum, because he sounds just like Andy Serkis.
Whoever that Gran guy is.
Aw, geez. This guy again.
Whew look at that handsome devil^

Hi cool kids. I'm cranky for little good reason and tired and it's way past my bedtime and I don't want to go to bed, and I have to get up early to spiritually advise a boy scout in the morning. Help. Or not.Hug pounce for calling us cool kids!
The best advice I've seen in ages about sleep (or lack thereof) was simply: If you're in bed relaxing, don't worry about sleeping. Daydream. Think about things you need to do. If your body is at rest and the lights are out, it doesn't matter whether you're really asleep.
Makes long sleepless nights much more relaxing.
On the other hand, "Cranky and don't want to go to bed" sounds like stress, so hang out here, post nonsense, and hopefully the night shift'll show up soon to keep you company, since I've got to get to bed for my trip.
Some of the best advice my mother gave me was exacly that. If you're in bed but cant sleep, just relax. You body will get rest, even if your mind doesnt.

This is the most horrifying idea I've ever heard for a Jeff Dunham puppet show.
OTOH, Nina Conti could probably make it work.

And here we go: Shutting down the Mac Mini, throwing it in the suitcase, and hoping it boots up again when I unpack it in London. Whee!
On the one hand, it's 6 hours 'til we actually leave, so this may be a stupid idea. On the other, I have my gaming computer if I get desperate to post to FaWtL before then (which I probably will. :-P)
EDIT: And honestly, this is pretty funny:

Other than possible showers, I doubt I'll notice the difference!

It's sunny and either 64, 65, or 67 degrees, depending on what weather app I choose to believe today.

Does that mean you earned a merit badge in empathy or restraint, or both.

I figured you would give good counsel (as usual), so wasn't too worried.

It's 9:30 on a Sunday morning on vacation, which means that so far I've been to Home Depot twice; drained, bailed, and scrubbed out my mother's hot tub with bleach; gave Hermione cold pizza for breakfast so she could go to the hardware store with me; and had a shower.
Has anyone seen Midsommar yet?
I refused to see Hereditary, but this one looks compelling. I used to love horror, then more or less lost my taste for it, but every once in a while a film comes along that makes me want to dip my toe back in the water.
CY said he and The General might be seeing it, or they might be making out in a theater. I'm not sure if any of that actually came to fruition.
I have not seen it.

Yes.
The reason I didn't specifically name Cap is that I asked if anyone had SEEN the movie.
We didn't see it.

as a former scout myself, I had faith in you.

I've seen a review of it - seems to be in a similar vein to '(The) Wicker Man'

Whee! Vacation begins with a 5-hour delay on our very first flight!
The $30 meal vouchers (each) covered about half of lunch, so that’s something.
As for TSA pre-screening,
But... instead of waiting in the normal line with 150-200 people in it, we were in the “rich people’s line” with fewer than 10 people in it, no random searches, and the agents were friendly and polite to us.
Basically it’s just one more “service” to make rich people think they’re special.
Effective, but pretty darned blatant...

Sounds exacatly like what I was going through on my flight to UK and back. No extra charges.
Ok, I had to remove my boots, but only because they had metal part so they would trigger metal detector anyway.

Shucks, folks.
Nobody's Home, re your spoiler...
Basically it’s just one more “service” to make rich people think they’re special.
I don't wish to fully engage in this conversation about TSA, and can understand everybody's POVs on the issue, pro and con, but I gotta say one thing...
While I will fully acknowledge that his salary is about three times mine, my boss, whose award-winning research has saved millions of lives of mothers and children in developing countries for decades, uses TSA pre-screening because he travels so much for his work, and the time that it saves him is valuable to him and the work that he does. The same goes for many of his colleagues, including underpaid research fellows (whose cost of the screening gets reimbursed by the university), so they can do the travel they need to do with minimal hassle so they can get on with the business of life-saving and quality-of-life-saving research and fieldwork.
Sure, there is absolutely a privilege of wealth factor to the service for many, and I'm sure some people purchase the service to make themselves feel special, but it is also there for people who travel for a living, often doing extraordinarily important work. While I sympathize with the frustration that offering the service to those who not only pay but go through the DHS screening process creates an observable have/have not scenario in an airport, I do actually believe the system was put into place to help people like my boss as much as anyone else, and pigeonholing the majority of users is a bit unfair.

I flew on a plane, once.
Fifteen years ago.
I lived and it was a somewhat enjoyable experience.
Still, it's not something I'd want to do every day.
