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

Anyone have Deb's cell or home number? I have good news for her and wanted to get in touch right away.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Very nice, ita. Where's it from?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Allyson, I have her cell. E-mail?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

[Kathy, you know none of this is directed at you, right? Just something I've been thinking about.]

No problem! Like I said, I would have given the guy my own sandwich if I had something else for me to eat at home, but I didn't. I just feel more comfortable with giving cash to Salvation Army or bringing in things to work when they have the various charity drives here. I did give a guy at the laundrymat my leftover quarters when he asked for money for the bus--he had been telling me stories about Vietnam while I was folding my clothes, and then when he asked for some change, I figured what the hell, he was an interesting guy who spun a good tale.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Paging Alibelle. I think Yahoo mail is smoking crack. I can't seem to get any emails through to you. Try emailing me at my profile addy and we'll try to get you a gmail invite somehow.

When I became a parent you know something I didn't realize I'd need a lot of? Batteries. Lots and lots of batteries. C's, D's, AA's and AAA's. Every toy I buy for the kid needs batteries.

Whoot! She just got in touch with me so it's all good!

That was quick! I'll just close my e-mail window, then.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where's it from?

It's the fountain in the backyard of relatives in the otherwise quite unremarkable Monroe, MI. It's a very calming scene for me, which has nothing to do with its real life context.
