god, this discussion has me mentally piling loads of stuff in my house up in piles to get rid of. Thing is that wouldn't generate much money. I could do with another round of ebaying though. Maybe get a burst of energy and list 20 or so things that should fetch money.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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
someone should hook you up with an agent!

More like someone should poke me with a stick until I stop being intimidated by working on my second draft of the proposal.

This discussion is making me glad that I've already got the next gothy yard sale scheduled. But I need to take some pictures of things I want to sell on eBay. It turns out that a signed 1st edition of Marilyn Manson's autobiography goes for over $60 on eBay. And to think I was just going to take it to Half-Price Books!

oh, yeah, I have that downfall. But I do really only get my hair done done a couple of times a year. Okay, maybe once a quarter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nurses just asked if they could get anything for me. "Painkillers or permission to go home." They thought it was funny until I told them how long I've been sitting around hurting.
Seriously--I'd rather have untreated pain at home in familiar surroundings than in some strange room eating something that looks vaguely like pasta primavera.

Okay, since nobody else did, I have to ask how that worked...
Oh, a couple years ago I stayed in the Hollywood Roosevelt's haunted room and had a few minor things happen. Nothing that would impress Tobe Hooper, but until that point I'd never encountered anything of a supernatural nature that affected the physical environment at all, nor anything that couldn't be chalked up to hallucination or other tricks of the mind.
Another standout to me was the first bed-and-breakfast I ever stayed at, Etta's Place in Ft. Worth. Nice comfy rooms with lots of light, amazingly good breakfasts, and a library that most of this crowd would have wanted to move into.

Oh, dear god. First they sent me the head nurse, and then they sent me a psychiatrist.
This is becoming more and more ridiculous.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
ita... did you threaten to kill someone with your pinky?
(All jokes aside, it sounds like they're really scrambling. ugh.)

Eating out is another big downfall for us. We're trying to be better about it, but there are still far too many nights where I get home from work and say "No, I don't want to cook."
see, that's what kills me. I like to cook. I probably make a full meal 4-5 times a week. I don't eat out because I don't want to cook, I eat out for the social factor. And I have that certain sector of six figure lawyer friends that like to go to expensive restaurants (sparky feels me on this). I like to go there too, I just shouldn't :)
