I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I feel like I should alert Jesse and kat perez that they're showing a Doug E. Fresh video on VH-1 Classic.

Yesterday I'm told it was 98 with 94% humidity. Today is the same.

Since I can't get an a/c unit that works in my apartment, I got a dehumidifier that does, because half of the ook is how sodden it gets inside. Sodden at 80 is unpleasant.

It's actually helping. But in the last 18 hours it has sucked 30 pts of water from the air. This scares me. Where's the fog?

I need to escape in a bit. But that will require using the hairdryer and uuuhhhng.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am actually cold this am . there is a predicted hight of 90 where I work - but of 73 here. It is still about 60 here. However, I do not wish to trade with Jessica

ok - the person I was talking to is a texas BBQ person. She had no ideas of the variety of sauces

and she means beef

so she didn't even go the the pulled or chopped pork debate.

and I didn't even know why people liked BBQ so much 'til I had a vinegar based sauce...

Though I like sweetish red sauces for chicken - but I don't know if chiken really counts.

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

I have kind of a stupid question. the only bill I don't have set up for online bill pay is my rent, which is kinda dumb as it is the bill I'm most likely to forget because they don't mail me a handy envelope saying, "yo dumbass, rent is due!"

I've had a couple narrow misses.

But all my other bills are just there in the computer, and so I assume they receive payment electronically. Do they mail my landlord a check? How does that work?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yup - that is wht they do if they don't have a way of getting efunds. and it works - but it takes a couple days longer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Citibank mails my landlord a check. Your bank probably does too, because check-mailing allows them to debit your account days, if not weeks, before the check is cashed.

That's the other side of the coin, though; you have to allow your bank to debit your account with enough time to mail the check. So if you get paid on the 1st, you might have it debited on the 28th every month, which cuts it close for some people. It's balancing the risk of forgetting to pay your rent with the risk of being short by the 28th.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Looks like it's 57 and foggy outside my back door.

My electric bill is spontaneously combusting, I know that.

And I just looked and my car is sitting in full sun and so the lure of going places with effective a/c just got dampened by the prospect of melty car.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hmmm. It's lovely and 70-ish here right now. 50% humidity, but still very nice after the oven it's been. All of the fans got turned off for the first time in months.
