Hey Gadget Girl, welcome to the Buffistas.
I'm in North Florida and enjoying the 80s weather here, although I do wish it would get cold for Xmas.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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
Is Consuela around? I'm looking for a film that came out recently that is about the apocalypse in Los Angeles. There's some sort of killer infection and a dude locks himself in his house and is faced with keeping his wife (who may or may not be infected) outside.
I can't remember anything searchable about it. Damnit.
ETA: Found it!

Sounds familiar, Allyson.
I went and played Scrabble and had $1 tacos and $2 beer. It was good. Yay, the Scrabble Bitches. We were talking about various ridiculous things, and how was it possible all four of us were now single, and then realized we were a sitcom. The one who has a crazy love life, the one who just moved to town, the one who just broke up with the long term girlfriend, and the shy one...plus the wacky friend not playing scrabble but knitting and occasionally interjecting funny things...There was more to it, but I've forgotten. It was, however, highly entertaining to us.

1) Congrats msbelle! If you do get called in, just remember the phrase "I thought it was time for a change". They cannot out argue that.
2) Welcome G_G
3) My "week o' suck" continues tomorrow with my quest to have my license reinstated. This will be achieved it seems by paying hundreds of dollars. The logic in this situation is simple. "If we charge someone who made a simple mistake as much money as we can, yet again we can bleed tax-payers AND make them feel like crap simultaniously!"
Don't even get me started on UPS...
