You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like when my college instituted a "non-salty snack" rule for on-campus parties. WTF, dudes. I went to at least one party that had an open box of pasta on a table with the chips and whatnot.

I can't work out if I think the footwear in outfit #12 (the last one) is cheap, trampy, or just clumsy.

Huh. I think it's cute and I love the colors together. I'd do it in a purple/blue/teal version. Ok...not the hat or whatever.

I'm fairly certain that during most of the time I lived in NM, there were drive through windows at booze stores. I remember even Albertson's having one.

Reason # 8 I miss Louisiana.

Drive through booze! I think they had those in LA... there are a few of the old school drive through dairies still and you can get booze there.

Gr. arg. Someone to please make the next half hour non stressy.

Oak Park was stricter than Ontario--you had to be a sit-down restaurant to be able to serve booze. The strip of bars along Madison Avenue in Forest Park reminds me of nothing more than the strip along Wells Street in Milwaukee near the Marquette campus when I was in college.

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

Had to go to Hollywood Bowl with clients and then drive back to Pasadena and home again.

Barely functioning. I really wanted to make latkes tonight, but I don't see it happening.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

There's a place near my cousin's in N.O. where it doesn't even really have to be a bar to sell you a drink. They have kind of a walk up vestibule.

Handy for when the kid is asleep and there's nothing in the house.

ETA: It occurs to me, looking at that, that I should specify that near=next door.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My sister loved the walk-in stores with rows of booze-dispensing vending machines on Bourbon Street. When she was down there with Mom about 15 years ago, Mom was on the verge of passing out due to her intake, but Kris was still looking for another drink, so she left Mom propped up on a lightpole and went to a vending machine for another margarita.

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

WHAT? Is it you can't serve salty snacks, or you must serve one non-salty snack? Also, WTF?

I need to get motivated to call this potential wedding planner. I hate calling strangers!! I should elope to avoid that.
