We had giant tinkertoys when I was a kid. Santa brought them one year. They were awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The locals brought us to... Grand Luxe, which is apparently a Cheesecake Factory spinoff. America.
I cannot imagine the kind of horrifying overabundance that a spinoff of Cheesecake Factory that is entitled Grand Luxe provides.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I almost bought Polgara Tinkertoys for her birthday. And then the friend I was with almost did, but I told him it was like how your best friend can't date that guy you like but aren't going to be with.
Just like that.
Anyway.
There were Tinkertoys.
I played house. With everything. Chess pieces, buttons from my mother's sewing kit, office supplies, anything. I put together a few outfits for my actual doll, but representing humanoids was the least of what I needed them for.
I also..I tried to straighten the hair of one doll (they were black, of course) with a hot fork.
That didn't smell like emancipation.

You really, really can't. I've never even been in the place, and it scares me.

I said I'd like to have Noah at the company Halloween party (there will be other babies) and I got a, "I'm sure it will be okay..." after a long pause and a "families only" sort of vibe.
Well, pooh on them because you ARE family for him. The medical forms say so. So fuck them.

Every kid o'mine gets oshkosh railroad engineer overalls and a set of colored blocks like the ones I had. Speaking of which, I needs to do some shopping.

So someone on craigslist had a stroller that I want for $490 instead of the usual $900. But when I email this person she's in MIAMI and wants me to western union the money.
That feels sketchy to me so I don't. But am sad now... not over possibly getting ripped off, but because no stroller.
