I don't boil my mashies, I bake them (so they don't get waterlogged). But I still think I'd be able to tell if a potato was far gone enough to be BLACK inside without an X-ray!
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

People! Where are you? Talk about something...
I went to get lunch, since nobody was talking.

Happy birthday, Sophia!
Yay for childcare and no cancer, Kat and Susan!!!
I was already running late this morning due to sleeping in waaaay late, and was in the bathroom just about to jump into the shower when someone knocked on the door. The village building inspector chose my apartment in her random pick of places to inspect! Why do they always seem to arrive just as I'm about to get wet? (The maintenance guys popped by at a similar moment last month to get everything reviewed for the inspection.) So, I ended up being even later. Le sigh.

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 too early for me to go to lunch. I am hungry, but I absolutely can't think of anything to get for lunch. I seem to have slight heartburn, so I will avoid pizza or pasta for lunch.
I hate it when I'm hungry but nothing I can think of sounds appetizing. What usually happens is I get hungry enough to eat something anyway, or else I head on off and get something expensive like crab legs, because those are always nummy....

How important is it for the business end of a USB drive to stay covered? I've got a rubber housing for my mose useful drive, and it's beginning to come apart. I don't know how to replace the cover and I don't know how crucial it is.

I lost mine (the damn thing hardly stayed on even when new) so I've gone without for months (I keep it in a nylon computer bag) and so far it's been OK.
Just don't, like, save your cure for cancer on your USB drive and then sue me for billions in lost income when the file gets trashed....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In fact, why don't you email the cure to tommy and he'll hang onto it for you?

Kathy, the maintenance people always came by when I was showering or still asleep in the morning at my previous apartment. And would let themselves in after about 15 seconds of knocking, before I could get dressed and answer the door.
Leaving for work by 8am at the new place seems to have put a stop to that.
