What is WITH the sore throats? I was giving advice to meara last night, and this morning I wake up with a sore tonsil. But I think it is just irritation, not infection. Probably slept funny and snored or something.
Lalala. Don't want to do anything.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Finally...and I know you've all been waiting...a crappy picture of the overhead bin warning sign in my cubicle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm okay with minimum amounts, et al. What I'm really not okay with is having a service charge leveraged against me for debit card usage. Multi-especially when they don't tell me, but I just read it on the receipt.
My reflex isn't so much to pay cash as it is to give someone else my money.
msbelle, that's the price you pay for snogging meara. Sorry.

Sue, that looks like...well, head impalement. Complete with blood spurtage.

ita, do you mean a service charge from the vendor, or from your bank?
Some convenience stores will charge you if you use your debit to pay for something under $5.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
it's 'illegal' (though I suspect that's a strong bit of propoganda on the credit card companies' part) for me to express a preference to my clients for receiving payment by cash or check.
Well, if it is illegal, then all the antiques dealers I've met don't know it. Everybody I've talked to will take a credit card, but will offer you an instant discount if you can pay via check or cash. I presume they set their prices to include the credit card fee, but so prefer cash deals that they'll lose that extra profit to acquire and keep a cash-paying customer.

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

You're right - it looks like a rod or something has come out of the wall or ceiling and impaled the guy in the head.
eta: head-impalement x-post.

I know! That's what's crazy about it. OHS people see head getting banged with door, I see pole through head.

At the time of sale, but I'm not sure who gets the money. If you already have a minimum amount thing in effect ($10), I'm really unexcited about giving you 75c on my $22 purchase.
Sue! You'd better be careful. That looks traumatic.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sue, that is priceless.
