What does one say in this situation? Has Miss Manners posted to this dilemma?
See, I think Gus handled this with much more aplomb than I would have. My first words would have been, "Dude, get the fuck out of my house."
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't neglect to check them all out.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
hope the next few months are calm enough for you that you can start telling us some of your older stories.
My stories from before I started posting in Buffistas are dull. I do not think this a coincidence. Somehow, Buffistas are wrenching Fate around to cause Fate to provide stories from me.
Buffistas are a part of the Monkey-Bite Conspiracy! I knew it!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Good Lord! Gus, that is crazy. What the thing to come home to. Thank goodness he was not dangerous and didn't cause more damage.
I just spent and hour and a half digging information out of old files. The file room is creepy and stagnant. I'll have to do more everyday this week. bleagh, but not the worst thing ever.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh my God, we're Walt!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Gus! Squatter or not (especially now he's gone), I'm so glad you're home! And, you know, posting in the daytime. And I'm sorry we're Walt. We'll try to stop, really.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Gus!
Freaky stuff, man. But welcome home, even so.

Kat did. She's the obsessive competitive type, and I think it went well.
Henh. I am, aren't I?
Betsy, I have two (mostly because I lose them) and they tend to overcount, though there were days when I'd treadmill and they would undercount there, so it all comes out in the wash. Like msbelle, they got me aware of how sedentary I could be and I found that I would walk more because I like accumulating steps (obssessive competitiveness).
Both of mine still work, though if you wear dresses, it's sort of PITA due to the lack of waistband. But I wore one consistently for about ~4 - ~6 months in 2003 and wrote down how much I walked each day. It was interesting.
