Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes you need to be blue. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Word.

Although it does remind me of the Thanksgiving in high school or so when I broke my glasses that morning (broke the arm right off!) and a family friend having dinner with us asked me if that was a new style. Har.

I have ANOTHER class cancelled tonight for a "family emergency." WTF?? And I still have to hand in my homework.

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

Someone told me it's not possible to get burgers rare at a restaurant in California. Is that true?

ita, you can also get a rare burger at Mo's in San Francisco, where they very specifically list out the classic French degrees of doneness on the menu so you know what you're getting.

They probably send to France for the cattle, though. Le Moo

We've got all kinds of snooty, organic beef to be had around here. Didn't I tell you about Prather Ranch? They raise cattle specifically for medical purposes - they use the collagen and cartilage and bone for various procedures. Consequently it has to be completely untainted by antibiotics, or steroids or anything like that.

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'm trying to figure out which essay I should record for TAL. I can't decide. I'm ready to rock, paper, scissors with myself.

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

There's a lot of resources on their website about how they pick their stories. If you haven't already read them, maybe that'll help you choose.

Oh, I've read, super bon bon. I'm having trouble deciding what's the most TAL appropriate, I'm so intimidated by it all.

It seems to me like there are two ways to go -- something like the ita story, which is more "See? We're so regular!" or something that more "look at the crazy people." Not that that helps you at all.

There's an ita story which makes us look like normal people?
