Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What other wire? Sorry, I'm not following.

Oh, I mean connect one wire to feed both channels (left and right) and the other wire to the ground. (The stereo plug only uses those three wires, right?) Basically, you'd make a Y-connector. Or you could just buy a Y-connector (or mono-to-stereo plug) at Radio Shack or something.

Ah! Got it.

Who here has experience with Cafe Press and other print-to-order merchandise places? The Gothic Charm School store is currently Cafe Press -based, but I'm idly looking for other options. Options that might offer messenger bags in a color other than eye-searing yellow.

I'd buy one in black.

Actually, I need a new laptop case for my 13" MacBook. One option I'm considering is a laptop sleeve (or whatever you call them) and a messenger bag....

See, that's my problem with Cafe Press. Everyone would buy a GCS messenger bag in black. But does CP offer them in black? No, they do not. They only have eye-searing yellow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Raq mentioned someone she liked better than Cafepress for her stuff, but I can't remember what thread that was in.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I use laptop sleeves! For both my laptops. They are invaluable. They protect your computer from so much, in whatever back you thrust it into--I have used backpacks, my leather messenger, my generic jansport messenger, my overly large handbag. So worth it.

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

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this: what is the tool or key combination in MS Word that allows one to keep words together-- in the "showing paragraph marks view" it shows a little superscript circle between words?

ctrl + shift + spacebar for a non-breaking space.
