I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Maybe use Chowhound, if you are looking for recommendations. Now it finally has a search engine meant to be used by humans, it is very useful.

For erika, in case she doesn't get the Mobtown Shank:

Finally, some graffiti in Hampden that isn't lame!
As Shank reader Claire P. says:
"The 'Marriage Works' billboard on a side of a building on or around 34th & Chestnut now says 'Marriage Sucks.' They even took the time to spray paint the word white before they wrote over it. Classic Hampden style."

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

Uh, i meant Jamaican restaurants never deliver. Let me not talk shit about our recipes.

okay typing on the new phone and I have to work out how to enlarge the font. Blind now.

And Chowhpund was totally the other place i was reading.

What? ita has found font too small for her to read??

She hasn't met my developers. You can go from "invisible" to "Plaid" (which is preceded by "ELEVEN" and both make my head explode.)

My PBS station is irking me. They promise me frontline, they deliver pre-recorded crooner concerts. I hate pledge time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have 3 more hours to be at work. I need a neck/shoulder massage.

a question on hospital bills. So I get a bill from Dr. for x, don't pay it because it hasn't even been to insurance yet. Then I get the EOB from insurance that says they paid x-y, and my co-pay is z. Do I send a check for z. And it's ok that x-y+z do not = x?

I feel old, lori. Very old. But I'd my reading glasses (previously only used so I could view 2048x1538 on a 21" monitor) to read the font.

Still, I have a million things I have to do customising wise. I guess now's a decent time to switch my phone theme--out with the classic TV shows, in with the sci fi. Except for that one guy who will always get Profit. Well, unless he falls in love with Dexter.
