I'm kind of glad to not be alone on this.
I think that every woman who has been attacked by her own undergarment is right there with us, libkitty.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This may be in'eresting to science/space geeks: Voyager 2 Detects Odd Shape of Solar System's Edge
The milestone, which comes about a year after Voyager 1's crossing, comes earlier than expected and suggests to scientists that the edge of the shock is about one billion miles closer to the Sun in the southern region of the solar system than in the north.
This implies that the heliosphere, a spherical bubble of charged low-energy particles created by our Sun's solar wind, is irregularly shaped, bulging in the northern hemisphere and pressed inward in the south.
Scientists determined that Voyager 1 was approaching the termination shock when it began detecting charged particles that were being pushed back toward the Sun by charged particles coming from outside our solar system. This occurred when Voyager 1 was about 85 AU from the Sun.

What is even happening?
I'm not helping, am I?
No, particularly considering I caved and took the kids to McDonald's. Ben has a game in 25 minutes or so. It was the only way to feed them without making myself nuts. I pre-atoned by going to the good produce stand and buying food with food in it (mostly fresh fruit and salad stuffs), though.
Ooof. Gotta run. Again.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Audible yawning at this point in training. I am reduced to hijacking my neighbour's got-a-question-right candy. And I don't even like Reese's Pieces. We so need a break. If I hadn't been checking work email, I'd have fallen asleep by now.

It's a bag. It turns your dog into a piece of luggage. With a dog head, feet and tail sticking out.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Today was just kinda..bleah. I've had worse days, but I've also had better. At least the weather's nice.

There are about ten police cars parked in front of our building. The police are ordering two people out of a van at gunpoint.
Weird.
eta: Suspects are in custody. I was standing behind our front door, and a cop was standing behind a tree about seven feet from me with his gun drawn. I went to our other door and there was a cop in our parking lot standing behind one of our tenant's cars with his gun drawn, about four feet from the door.
