Should we take turns having food delivered to Allyson so she can concentrate on the manuscript?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm thinking we should FedEx her a carton of her favorite brand of cigarettes.

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
Maybe John can drop them in my mailbox.

Now I'm imagining Allyson answering her doorbell in Platex Living Gloves, cracking the door open two inches and grabbing the smokes out of her mailbox.

Good luck finishing your manuscript, Allyson. Go you!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I missed you too, Allyson. There was a distinct dearth of snark.
Congrats and good luck on finishing the manuscript!

Well, it took, what, four years? But I finally got around to watching that "Firefly" show I've heard SO much about, thanks to the SCI-FI Channel and last Friday's marathon, which I recorded en toto.
I started watching Sunday afternoon around 6 p.m. (CST), and figured I'd watch maybe 2-3 eps, and save the rest for another day. (Provided, I liked what I saw.) By 2 a.m. the following morning, however, I was still watching; and I managed to make it all the way to the end of "Objects in Space" before finally trotting off to bed at 4:45 a.m.
That show grows on you like a mug - and I'm saying this, knowing I've yet to see the actual pilot, too.
I thought I would have tremendous difficulty following along, on account my being, well, NOT futuristically inclined? ("Star Wars"? "Star Trek"? BSG? Such things tend to lose me - and very quickly, I might add.) But you know what? Practically from the start (of "Bushwacked"), I had no trouble understanding what was going on. Hell, two episodes in, I had relaxed enough to laugh at some of the best one-liners I've heard on TV in awhile.
"Firefly" was an awesome, awesome show; and f yeah I'm mad it came to an end too soon.
Oh, and Tim? If you're reading this? Mad props to you for "Out of Gas," far-and-away my favorite of the bunch.

Oh, sure. Minearverse is suddenly all about Tim. Pft.

Sorry, Allyson, lol. Won't happen again.

Allyson! I missed you. And I want a share of the millions, but I'll settle for gossip. UPS is taunting me. They continue to be bastard people, so maybe tomorrow I'll be theme-tastic. Whine.
[Neeeevermind, I saw the explanation.]
