"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Hmm. The modern gift for us would be linen/lace. That would leave me with few options for his gift- pretty much a hankerchief. Now next year, I'm totally down with the leather.

According to the modern chart, next week I should be gifted with desk sets. 1. Desk setS? Who needs multiples? 2. "This desk set wants to fly!" from Dead Poets Society is my main referent for desk sets.

This year one of my brother's is at Bronze/potter or Linen/lace and the other is at pottery/willow or leather.

So, once you hit your 20th, you start expecting gifts only every five years?

Always Anti-fascist!

How Crime Fiction has messed with my brain #511. Paper anniversary looks weird because in the latest Pelecanos(Pelecanos re karoti) almost all the characters are parolees, thus, "on paper" or "coming off paper" so, y'all are having this loving, tender moment and I'm thinking of it like you're needing to pee in a cup. I'm sorry. I'm gonna die alone, huh?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

When DH and I had been married a year, my parents interpreted "paper" as "money," which suited us fine since we really needed it.

This, I could get down with.

Same for our anniversary this year. Which means I should find Pete a really good black linen suit, and I get more frilly lace clothing. Works for me!

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

I want to get married. I love paper. I want personalised notecards, hell, I even like laser printer paper.

Bring it on, baybee.

In additional tales of "how did that work out that way?" a co-worker had an accident in which he was deemed responsible. He sold his newly repaired car to a dealer for more than blue book (and more than he owed on it), bought a new one, had a cop that recommended against filing a report and putting it on his record, and his insurance went down.

My life never works that way, I swear.

What is even happening?

Did the accident involve another car and driver, ita?
