Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was still a little weirded out by this woman telling me her SSN over the phone.

You should apply for a Macy's card in her name, Jesse.

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

I was still a little weirded out by this woman telling me her SSN over the phone.

The guy who called me the other day to ask mine said that he was the billing group for my headache clinic and he needed my SSN to submit claims. I asked him how they'd submitted all the claims previous (I've been going to her for way too long, considering), and he said they just needed it now.

Sure, it could be 2007 rules, but it still sounded weird. What are the scenarios in which they can be used, and in which can you refuse to divulge yours without penalty? There are no-penalty situations, right?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I told her I wouldn't steal her identity, but she said she wouldn't really mind. Needless to say, a new wardrobe is on its way to my new PO Box.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh, great.

THANKS for the earworm, people!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I feel so bad for my cat--she spends the past three hours sleeping under the bed, and as soon as she comes out for some food and water, I swoop her up and shove medicine down her throat. She's now back under the bed, hiding. If she manages to come out sooner than 9:00 tonight, I'll be able to coddle her a bit before shoving in more medicine. I really hate doing this to her.

Sorry, Kathy, but at least you know you're being nicer giving her the medicine than not.

In awesome news, VH-1 is showing ego trip's Race-O-Rama!!

... um. I mean. I'm working really hard.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Kathy, cats have very little long term memory, so it's not like she's going to hold it against you for more than a few hours at a time.

I swear, I'm about to spork a server. Except that would make it slower.
