My Bob was named John; I didn't ask if he liked carrots, or where his other Bob was lurking.

Oh dear. I was just reading an article in Maisonneuve that cited a book by an author named Ita Buttrose.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Insurance claim adjuster was quite pleasant. He warned me that there's a limit of either $1500 or $2000 for jewelry you didn't itemize separately, which of course we didn't. Even with the deductible, that will come fairly close to covering replacement value, if not sentimental value.
Time to go shopping!
As Teppy notes, that is my local grocery store that had the Billboard Liberation (which I am sad to report I did not see), a few blocks away and just across from Amoeba.

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

You haven't lived until you've had a bunch of drunken Australians singing to you about her.
Or maybe you need to be named "ita" for that to be scarring your omega.

Nice essay. Though my favorite excerpt may be the paranthetical
Note: I do not have children of my own and do not intend to have any, so it is only natural that I experiment on children from other families.

I did not inquire as to whether my Bob named John had a secondary sex penis, or if it was named wee bob.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They stole a craptastic TV, a 10 year old CD player, a cheap clock, a pillow case, and few other odds of ends of little value.
When my parents' house was burgled (we also lost lots of jewellery of sentimental value, plus a couple of years' worth of my diaries - the police assumed they were hoping I'd noted my PINs in them), they also took a pillow case of one of the beds. It's for putting the rest of the stuff in.
Best of luck with everything, Betsy.

I almost pity the burglars who try to get anything good out of my house. If the precarious piles of junk don't get them, they'll knock something over, attracting the attention of the cats and people with swords.
Though most likely my house will kill them and we'll come out to a burglar skewered by a stray armor piece and a thousand tiny wargaming figures with pointy bits.
