So this isn’t fibromyalgia related, but it is a mega rant, so I do think that should count. It seems Pluto no longer meets the requirements to be called a planet, so its out. No two weeks notice, no trial separation, no chance to shape up its act, it’s just gone. What’s next?  Which of my other childhood allusions would large organizations like to spoil?  Candy really is good for you?  The grass is no longer green?  Besides, how are we going to remember the planets now?  Sure the NY Times referred to Pluto as “dinky”, but it was the glue that held everything together. “My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas”. Without pizza, or pie depending on your location, we’ve got nothing. The entire thing will have to be redone now, and that just seems like a lot of work. Any ideas for a new memorization technique?
