Is the term "social" common knowledge?
I'd say yes. I hear people asked for their "social" as often as "social security number," anyway.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Allyson, did he trash this stuff without asking? Was it salvagable? And who died and made him king of decorations? Ass.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Allyson, you went and spent time and energy and money on lighting and netting and stuff and this neighbor not only took it down but threw it in the trash instead of returning it to you? Pardon my French, but what a fucking fuckhead. I'm vibing very, very hard for some good housing alternative to pop its head up for you, and soon.
And you should feel free to come up to our place and put up lights and netting any damn time you want, complaint-free. Bold colors welcome.
I mean, sheeeee-it.

And (because it merits a separate and much nicer post of its own), welcome, Shir! Any friend of Nilly's is welcome, with delight!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Speaking of Nilly- My sister says she just finished Vampire People and she loved it (of course). She says she cried over Random Acts of Paypal.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thanks for the citation help, peeps!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's no way that the decoration back there could please everyone, but there's no need for the guy to be a pisser about it.
Hell, I saw what it looked like before you guys did anything to it, and however "inelegant" what you ended up with, it was sure better than what you had before.
Wait--so if you don't get Colin's place, are you still moving? I hope you do get it, and it's not nice of the landperson to discover a friend from her back pocket (but such is the risk with these connection of a connection things, I guess).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Welcome, Shir.
Sorry for the badness, Allyson and ita.
And I can't rewach Blink. Empty child scared me, but the weeping angels just creeps me out - completely.

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
I'm going to keep looking for a place and hope the friend doesn't want it, ita.
The whole backyard thing made me feel like an idiot. I mean, six peopel contribute to the decor and care of the garden, so it's more in line with my sense of funky contemporary. He wants it to be more elegant and Martha Stewart. Which is fine, but when I asked where my red ceramic bowl (I kept extra votives in it) was, it was stacked up on the side of the house with the "junk."
It just seemed purposefully mean.

Hello, Shir! Welcome to non-lurkdom!
