I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Art Crawl!!!

I did a search on the Re/Max site for my zipcode with a minimum of $100,000 and no maximum and the most expensive piece of property they listed was for $399,900. It is a 4 Bed, 2 Bath house. I think it's speck though.

The most expensive property with an actual photograph is $339,900 and has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is on a lot of between 1/4 to 1/2 an acre. There were only 25 properties listed and the cheapest one was a little 2 bedroom/1 bath ranch at $126,900.

Coding and Sleeping

They are um...... some other person's children or perhaps just some birds.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Cindy, those couldn't possibly be your children.

Allyson, that link goes to the North Adams Transcript. If you go to the front page of the North Adams Transcript, it's a real newspaper, and the intern story is linked to from the front page. And it is dated today, not April 1.

Cindy, those are not the children you are looking for.

The evil is this way?

Please tell me that's not my children I hear, shouting at each other, out in the street.

Chris broke out again?

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

Dammit, Betsy, I was just coming to tell her that those weren't kids, they were droids.

Look at Cindy's children, all quiet and clean and polite.

Are we sure this is real?

Honestly I thought it was tongue in cheek, laughing at herself for thinking it'd be that easy. Until I got about half-way through and realized it was serious.

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

I've been having issues with people's sense of entitlement. I got a request for Tim's work addie so someone could send a spec. I said, "Tim's not accepting specs, and I'm uncomfortable giving out work info, sorry!" (paraphrasing)

There was a follow up insistence email with ASSCAPS AND !!!!!

I wonder if she was related to Krystal.

You know, if I had this necklace, it would drive me nuts. I would be constantly adjusting it so that it was true.
