I have a gift certificate for dad (never underestimate the joy of choosing your own gift) that is being mailed form Cabela's directly to him. Gotta go get a card.

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

You know, my mother's only getting a book for her birthday (right about the same time). Maybe I should not try to fill his entire DVD library in one shot. Besides, I need to get it in the mail stat, if it's to reach in time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What'd you give your mother for mother's day? That should be the comparison to make.

A phone call. It usually ends up that they get Christmas gifts, and mother gets a birthday present, and daddy gets a Father's Day gift. Occasioning just the two gift-buying occasions a year, because we're far away and it involves shipping and them having to pay duty when they pick stuff up at the post office.

Okay, why does Robinson's May appear to not sell dresses online? Are they some sort of fascist organisation? They have a shorts section, fer crying out loud!

Erinaceous should write a letter.

Ah, that makes sense, then. Carry on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Apparently the big worry is being held up at shitpoint.

Wait, what?

Guys who threaten to throw their shit (already decanted) on you if you don't give up your valuables.

Well, that's pretty basic.

I think I might pretend I don't know about that.

Hahahaha! That is just so very crazy.

That seems like not such a huge threat -- I mean, I'd rather be nasty than lose my stuff.
