Yeah we’re maybe deprecating all that health care stuff and doulas and vaccine regs, just gonna have someone tell parents =no= until they come up with creative names on their kid’s/kids’/adoptee’s birth day. No certificate for you!

I tried too hard drinking some up and ended up certain it tasted like Coke with rotted strawberries in it. Very fine natural flavor if you do like the taste of thoroughly infected strawberries. Who here plunked down $630 for a can of cannabis flavor terpenes though, eh? In other news, I got dysgeusea this year, so tasting salt instead of sweet is all...

We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.” “Yes,” she says, “I remember it well.” “OK,” he says, “How about taking a stroll around there...

1000YearBan: I miss Craig Ferguson. I only ever watch Colbert. I admit I hafta skip past his ridiculously long intros to his Meanwhile segments. They’ve never amused me. Go figure.
