Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the scrolling back to the top thing is what made me not like Firefox.

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

I remember both behaviours coming up in discussion of board behaviour. When I mark a post in Opera, for instance, it keeps me right at the post I marked. But there was a push to change the code so that when a post was marked you were given the page with that post as the first one. Personally, I hate that. Much of the time when I mark a post I don't want any more posts deemed read than at that very moment. But people said their browsers dumped them back at the top of the page. So it went in.

Also, if I start composing a post in Opera and then follow a link from this page, when I back up, the text is still there. I know other people get posts eaten this way, and I remember tommyrot posting an extension for Firefox that warns you if you try and navigate away from a page with unposted data. I'd assumed that was because the text got lost on reload.

Still, either way, Firefox is out and Opera is in. I gave it almost two months. No love.

ita, is there a regal cleaners in your neighborhood? they are sort of moderately priced and do a good job. Also, yelp says Westland on Westwood is okay. also moderately priced.

Still tired. Waffley about going to Las Vegas. I'm looking forward to something in my life not being hospital focused. But DAMN. Also am scared to go.

I bet sarameg will too:

Hah! I think every NMican needs to be given copies of One of Our Fifty is Missing from New Mexico magazine at birth. Just to prepare them for the long road ahead.

There isn't a Regal on Westwood, which is pretty much where I'm limiting my search to. If I stray from here, it's back to the one on Barrington and Olympic. I'll try Westland, though.

I just can't believe it--$19 to dry clean a dress! A normal dress! I was going to ask for the itemised bill anyway, but that left me agog. This is where I went. Wish I'd know about the 20% off beforehand. And even then...

I can't believe they have a miles program for a dry cleaner. CRAZY.

Lots of stuff that says dry clean only is a lie and can be washed in cold water and line-dryed. But that does not help with the wrinkle issue.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have given up on dry cleaning stuff. I just refuse to buy it if it's dry clean only. Which means that if someone gives me dry clean clothes, I always forget and wash them anyway. (I always use cold water normally, unless there's a good reason not to.) Sometimes I ruin them, but you'd be surprised at how often I don't.

The last good dry cleaner I had was in Indianapolis. I still have some hangers from them, though. They gave good hangers.

Of course, I can do this, because my job requires me to hang out with teenagers, which can best be done in black t-shirts and black cargo pants.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Even if we did used to call them "ratburgers." There's no better drunk food in the world, at least if you grew up in Jersey.

Huh. I grew up in Jersey, and our usual late-night food was diner stuff. My usual choice was pancakes, but other people got burgers. I think the closest White Castle was in Paterson, though, and we wouldn't have even considered going there at night.

Well, at the rate I'm getting bigger, I'll need a whole new wardrobe, and I guess I could start from scratch.

Except, that's even more expensive than dry cleaning what I have, so I should look into not getting much bigger.

move out and draw fire

Even if we did used to call them "ratburgers."

One night after rehearsal we hit the Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru, sometime around 1:00 am. We ordered "rat strips" and the drive-thru employee didn't even react, just asked what kind of sauce.
