Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my coffee shop is owned by my neighbor. I don't have to order coffee. I just sit with the group and my coffee shows up. Breakfast - well that changes all the time.
Of course, the coffee shop is my social life. or at least the base of my socila life. or something like that. I need coffee

Peace to you and your family, Allyson.
I read this:
Checks: I have plain, green ones.
as "Cheeks: I have plain green ones." Hmmmm.
I always give a fake name (usually Elizabeth, my middle name) when ordering pizza, etc. Or my husband's. My real name never works.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I stopped going to a regular place in this neighborhood because my bagel guy attempted to get chatty.
Same with Starbucks in my building. He's a nice guy and all, but now that I've started bringing my own I get shit from the barista for never going in. Thankfully there's two more Starbucks on the block for when I have to get coffee.
I know more than one person who regularly gives a fake name in this kind of situation, for one reason or another.
I'm not sophisticated enough to give a fake name, but I almost always give the name of the other person when there's two of us. Not that it's so hard to pronounce, but it's so easy to mishear. (File this under 'Names, More conversation about our.")

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I would use my middle name, but it's pronounced "Extra Mayo"...

Speaking of names, my mother emailed me (and my sister, brother and husband) last night to suggest we name the Armadillo after my father. Whom she divorced acrimoniously in 1982, and with whom neither I nor any of my siblings has a close, or in some cases even good/any relationship, and who had a name I wouldn't wish on my kid (Toby). AND whose name would clash horribly with the Armadillo's last name.
My mother is nuts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not for the first time, flea, your mother is insane.
