Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

my local MAC is always mad crowded and plays very loud thumpa thumpa music. And the staff is a bit too haughty for my taste.

Which one? The store at Pentagon City? Try the counter at Nordstrom. I've never had attitude from the staff there.

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

Maybe it's just an LA thing, Jilli.

Ann, that's a ferret.

TV from 8-10pm used to be milder, on purpose, when we were children, out of an understanding that the potential audience was of all ages.

I remember Family Viewing Hour. Though I can't remember if it was declared unconstitutional, or disappeared during Reagan-era deregulation.

Me, I'm perfectly willing to regulate indecency. As long as I get to define the term.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Once I can get them to notice me (sometimes quite an ordeal), they are always very nice to me. I usually look like I NEED make-up, so that presents an "exciting" challenge. I don't like a lot of the department store make-up buying process as I hate being sold so hard, even though I know it's their job.

I suspect it is. The MAC counter people in Seattle are very friendly. This, of course, just increases my urge to import you to Seattle.

Hairdressers are always lovely to me, though.

I think Seattle is my kinda place, actually.

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

They ARE. It was an emergency situation: Best friend from college getting married. I didn't have the proper blush, nor handbag. We were running short on time, so one tested the blushes on me and another went to the handbag department to select some evening bags from which I could choose. If I'm not memfaulting, it was at The Bon Marche. *sigh* I need to go back for a visit.
