Congratulations, Allyson!
Were you able to find a plush bat backpack for your nephew? Or should I check some of the usual gothy places for you?
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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
This is the bat backpack but I can't figure out how to buy it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Allyson, they have a questionnaire on JDate that covers your degree of observance; it's a pretty popular service at least out here and I wouldn't avoid it just because you're not observant.

Thanks for the congrats! Things seem to be working out really well for people I love, lately. Now, just need to cure ita's migraines and all will be right as rain.

Although you have to wonder about a guy who doesn't tell his overprotective mom about his considerable promotion for more than two years, and only tells her because he lands in the hospital.
I don't know - there's that key word, overprotective, plus going from a high-paying, sciency job to this...think P-C and his mother's reaction to his change of direction, if his change had also involved criminals and guns. Which I assume it does not.

I just realized I have enough birthday money to buy a Roomba.
Squee!
[eta: Roomba owners - how does it do with rugs? Will it choke on the fringe?]

A great story well-told, that ends well, and proof that crymaking drama is as effective on the small scale as in any epic.
Nice. Reminds me of my friend's family - their house burned down on Christmas day (though actually due to a menorah candle incident), and his mother ended up breaking her leg jumping naked from the second story - she'd taken off her nightgown to lower the kids to the ground. (Everyone's fine now, btw.)

Allyson, congrats!
Also, fwiw, I have a Buddhist friend who's used JDate to meet nice Jewish guys. Many of the people on there are far from observant.
Edited because I can differentiate between there/their/they're.

Yeah, I mean how difficult could it be to find a furry with a deer costume on Craigslist and avoid all the ickiness?
Exactly! And there must be someplace on the internets that sells sex toys that cater to, um, game rather than games. Not that I'm going to Google for that while at work.
