Bookstores aren't making any money on Harry Potter sales anyway, so they might as well sell gift cards and guarantee a return visit by the purchaser.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, phew. I just got good news from a friend -- when I talked to her last, several weeks ago, she was pregnant but not optimistic about it, and she's still pregnant!

I have an interview! E-mailed my application, resume, credentials, cover letter, principal's letter, and test scores (whew!) today, and got a call half an hour later asking if we could set up a phone interview. Now, I hate phone interviews even more than in-person interviews, but I don't see another option. And, hey, the speedy response indicates some eagerness, don't you think? Maybe?
Note to self: DO NOT FORGET the time difference. Your interview is at 10:30 for you, not 1:30!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do that many men have erectile dysfunction that it should dominate my spam, or is it a measure of the importance (rather than frequency) of the problem?
I decided to spoil myself today--changed into shoes that don't go with my top, parked right near the office at more expensive rates, even promised myself chocolate.
If I stayed all afternoon, that is. Too late to take back the shoes or the parking, but I'm so not eating the chocolate (chili-cherry, btw) since I'm bailing in a sex and taking this headache home. Grr.

As men get older it gets more common. So I think you have to imagine a graph where men get older, richer and more powerful (rising arc) and their penises beginning to droop (predictably sagging arc). At the intersection is where Viagra sales are made.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday SA!
Yay! I seem to have found a petsitter who will give my cat the meds she needs while I'm away.

Hey, you could even make it a Venn diagram!

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

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have an interview!Excellent news, Emily!
Do remember the time difference.
