Who did it touch? Like is there anything you can do for the family? Or were you asking about protocol with the other gawkers?
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Both. From what we've gathered, the owner lives here most of the year, but might not have been home. On the gawker front, I was struck by how many in the neighborhood zoomed out of their houses to stand and watch. It struck me as kind of -- unseemly. Just as they were arriving, I decided to leave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that's really scary. If you don't know them, can you network around and see if there's anything they'll need over the next few days? A place to stay, food to eat, clothes to wear, etc.?

It's not every day you get to see a house burning down. Hopefully no one was hurt--it's going to be a trauma anyway, but let's spare life and limb.
I don't think there's any gawker etiquette. If you didn't talk to them before, eh.

ION, I cannot express how stupid I think the current Special K ads are -- no shit, really? If I have a bowl of cereal instead of an entire bag of chips while I watch TV at night, I won't be such a fat pig? WOW I NEVER KNEW THAT.

Just like Slim Fast. ""Have a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch and then for dinner, have a sensible meal." Oh, really? A sensible meal? If I knew how to have a sensible meal, I wouldn't need fuckin' Slim Fast to begin with." (My favorite old Rosie O'Donnell skit.)

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

of course by "our", I meant people who self-identify as Christians.

I've had a guy eating donuts for breakfast ask me what sort of things he should do to lose weight.
I've had a spin instructor not believe me when I said a low-carb diet would interfere with his gig.
I've had people ask me what had carbs in it and what didn't. Like they didn't get the whole starch thing.
I've argued at length about what constitutes a complex and what's a simple carbohydrate.
You knew, but a lot of people don't.
