You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Always Anti-fascist!

I go to bed last night and *then* you discuss Meloni and Tim Bayliss. But I'm always here for taste-tasted formula and baseball. Groan. I forgot about the bounty-hunting storyline, and yeah, Tim= very hot in that "I'm so tormented," way.

Groan. I forgot about the bounty-hunting storyline

Not me. That's when I first sat up and took note of Mr. Christopher Meloni.

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

JenP -- that's exactly it. It's the flashing grin or the curmodgeonliness or the devastation. And he walks kinda fun too.

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

Ugh.

They jacked the interest rate o my credit card up to 15% from 9%.

I called, had it lowed to 13%, but still, that is so ridiculous.

I'm considering going to the credit union at work and trying to get a fixed rate loan to pay it off and be beholden to a credit union rather than an unweildy bank.

Any financial people have advice in this regard?

Allyson, what I have ended up doing (and infrequently enough that I don't think it'd hurt me in the eyes of the credit god) is getting a new credit card that has 0% APR on balance transfers. And that gives you breathing room to work out how else to do it (or, if you're lucky, enough time to pay it off before they bump the rate back up).

But I'm not a professional, and daren't play one even on TV.

I keep having fantasies of selling my book, and just making enough to pay off this card. Please. It's all I want.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think ita's suggestion is a good one, Allyson.

The Orb seems to have disappeared from Belmont. I want it back.

Sorry, Perkins. We needed it down here in SoCal.

Pretty!

Hey Alibelle? Guess who just called? Phil the gambling man. He's coming over in a minute to kill an hour with the hanging out and such like.

Well, you should come back to the bored armed with stories of good crazy fun.

I'm sorry, Zenkitty.

Allyson, that totally sucks.

I can't seem to wake up today. I've had several naps, and I just keep wanting more.
