Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

CDF is headed by Marian Wright Edelman, right? Or has she stepped down?

ignoring the scary talk
Allyson, that's definitely a good thing.
So it appears the City pays $15/day. And helpfully provides a link to parking. At $4/day. And all the local fooderies that give you a free beverage with your meal. Why bother?

Unsure, Kat. The proceeds go directly to the CA chapter, so I've just been dealing with the folks in LA and haven't had any contact with the DC office.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Grump. I just had a partner growl at me because I was pressing him on a question. And he was (more or less) in the right to growl since he already answered, but I wouldn't have had to press for confirmation if I wasn't stuck fixing shit my boss left me with when she took her gorram vacation to sunny fucking Hawaii.
It was one of those deals where he had answered with "it needs to be discussed" and missing boss came back with "it's urgent - need answer now" and so I had to go back and get a faceful of "I told you it needs to be discussed. Back off, chump." He didn't say "chump" though. But it was implicit.
Anyway, like I said, it's really her causing me the grievance.

people should use chump in office dialogue more.
Are goldfish crackers laced with crack? They are nigh impossible to stop eating.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What's supposed to be bad about coffee grinds down the drain? Surely they're small enough not to clog anything?
It depends on where the drain goes. If the drain is going to a sewage system, like it would in, say, Brooklyn or Somerville, then you can put all the grounds you want down there. However, if your drain is going to a septic system like it would in my town, and probably the places Nutty grew up, then you don't want to do it. Septic systems can't break them down, so the solids just build up in the tank, and clog things up. The same goes for disposals.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My kitchen drain is strangely connected to the washtub in the basement. If I rinse anything down it, the whole thing backs up. It is a PITA.
