Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'd say $10 each if they're just delivering, $20 each if they're putting it together.

The so-called Texan Beef Chili I got for lunch has a distinctly Cincinnatian flavor to it. I am pleased.

Yay loveseat! You should take a picture of it before it gets Ruby-fied. I wore black pants today, of a material entirely incompatible with the current state of dog hair in our house.

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

(I've never tipped delivery guys. I feel like a bad person. I tip movers, though)

What is even happening?

The only time I've remembered to tip delivery guys is when they've also hauled something out for me. I do go endure a heavy dose of self-recrimination afterwards, though. That's good, isn't it?

I've never tipped furniture and appliance delivery guys. Pizza delivery I tip. I've never had movers to tip. Every time I move the thought process is, we'll get movers to take care of the heavy stuff and then we just end up renting a truck.

I didn't tip my last set of movers. They'd broken my piano, so I was too busy crying to work out a tip.

Moving pianos is a bitch.

Edit: Having a piano be broken must be heartbreaking though.

This is why I hate having things delivered. I'm already paying $85 bucks, and now I'm supposed to tip?

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

Ruby and I are going to have a long talk about the loveseat.

Ten each sounds good. There's no assembly required.

Moving pianos is a bitch.

Yep. Which is why I paid someone else to do it.

I do tip pizza delivery guys--especially since they have to climb up to my third floor apartment while holding a medium, extra-cheese level.
