Congrats, JZ! I'll be ~maing for you.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

The status is NOT quo.
Woot! JZ, that's great news!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And lo! The car is returning to me and I'm only $164 poorer. If they've done a halfway decent job with my bumper, I may need to marry someone.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It was just a nice, fun interview. And I was all wrapped in ~ma and wearing a sassy ensemble and it felt effortless and good. So, yay!
When we were talking about kids and stepkids, the interviewer said of her son, "His whole world just fell apart when his big brother went off to college." Which is exactly what Hec and I have been guessing will happen to Matilda when Emmett goes. Poor little snoodle. At least we've got another 7 years to go before that particular sorrow hits.

$164 for a decent bumper repair is totally reasonable (marriage-worthy, I'm less certain, but then I don't know how bad your bumper was to start out with). Ours is presently epoxied in place, and so it will stay because a replacement would cost more than the entire car is worth at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay for a good interview, JZ!
Yay for decent car dealings, ita!
Yay for International Lefthanders Day! I just noticed today that a coworker is a lefty.

Thing is, I went in because my oil pressure was too low, and something had ripped off the bottom of the car. I already had body shop quotes for bumper repair (~$250), so having all three things fixed for less than $200? At least sexual favours over an extended period.
Wait...isn't that the opposite of marriage? I find it very hard to keep track.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's the same as marriage, if you're married to a mechanic.

Good to know. I suspect it might be the same if you marry a chiropractor.
When did Merv Griffin die? Today? I also read that Brooke Astor died.
