You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

What is even happening?

Fats Domino is okay. [link]

Well, they think. At least he was. His daughter identified that picture of him, but nobody's heard from him, and they don't know where he was brought or where he is now. It's like he was taken to the Superdome, which is the last block of Okay, right next to Hell, from the sounds of it.

I'm slightly time shifted, so please don't spoil me).

So I shouldn't tell you that he yeah, I got nuthin! I'm just fucking with your head. I obviously don't even know who he is, let alone how he's doing at the Open.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Allyson, you're looking particularly lovely this evening. New hairstyle?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're so nice, Nora! That's definitely the best picture that's maybe ever been taken of me.

You gotta go with who you are. You weed out the losers quick that way!

This is SUPER TRUE. Even if not losers, people not for you. I have a friend who always wants to have a big "where is this going" Talk at like three months, and I've always figured, when she finds the ONE GUY ON EARTH who isn't scared right off by that, he'll be the one for her.

At three months? Good luck to her. I like your POV though, Jesse.

It's not even that she thinks it's necessarily Going Somewhere at that point, she just likes to Talk. So she needs a Talker, I figure.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hell, billytea was coordinating retirement plans on his third date with AS.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is SUPER TRUE. Even if not losers, people not for you. I have a friend who always wants to have a big "where is this going" Talk at like three months, and I've always figured, when she finds the ONE GUY ON EARTH who isn't scared right off by that, he'll be the one for her.

Although I might not have an answer involving picket fences by then, I have been known not to be scared off by this after three dates, let alone months.

Ok, there's an interesting x-post.

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

How far is the "where is this going?" talk from the "am I your girlfriend?" talk? What are the other talks? Do you just sneakily leave a toothbrush at his place? Use his? Have stank breath?

It's so complicated. My lack of understanding the protocol makes me very low maintenance. Sometimes unattractively so, I think.

My mom's next door neighbor just had a little girl. Early, 33.5 weeks, and she's 4.2 lbs and doing quite well. Mom and dad have sort of been her support system since her husband is a security contractor on the road a lot (until now.) I'm quite happy for them. Finding good where I can.

This child was much hoped for and much thought unlikely.
