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

He did say!

But he was marinading in the vodka sauce at the time, so I just smiled and nodded.

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

The next day, hungover, he still agreed. Except he kept making noises about a movie version.

Swouncing

Allyson, I love your tagline. I've only noticed it because both Tom and ita's taglines looked like they're not in English, right there one after the other, so then my eyes sort-of automatically checked yours, and I thought it's lovely and true.So, thanks, foreign languages, I guess.

For posterity:

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots. -Thurgood Marshall

I need to get out of bed. Don't want to.

I think I am ordering an iBook today. MEEP!

Yay! I fully endorse the purchase of iBooks.

As do I! msbelle, do is your new job at another school? (I can't remember -- sorry.) Because if it is, you're likely eligible to Apple's education discount.

is not, it at a for-profit start-up. I sold out to the man. Turns out the man, not that bad.

The whole package that I want is less than $1500 from Apple, so that's not bad.

I went to the post office to find out why I haven't been getting my proper mail after the hold was put on (probably about four pieces, all told, in a week), and they told me to call my carrier. Turns out my regular carrier was on vacation last week, but she's back now, and will make sure I get my mail.

What the hell sort of system is that, where I need to talk to the carrier, and her replacement can't get me my fucking mail? Hell, I went to a dinner yesterday whose invitation I have not yet received. That's crap.

I thought the loss of three month's worth of mail when I moved from MI (including cheques) was a one-off thing, but this is two mail holds in a row where service got fucked.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy, any dad news?
