"garbage" has a food waste connotation
In my mind garbage is wet and trash is dry. The combination is rubbish.
I tend to call it a 'rubbish bin'.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I tend to use garbage can to refer to the ones that live outside. I put something in the trash can. I take the garbage out to put in the garbage can (or, in my case, the dumpster.)
I don't really get why I do this. Except maybe garbage sounds grosser than trash, so garbage needs to be OUTSIDE.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Allyson, that sounds faaabulous!
I had the stupidest feeling-like-a-loser moment every today. You'll see why it was so stupid. I had plans to go to the movies with a friend on Sunday. Today she emails and says she has to work Sunday, so how about Saturday night? I literally almost said I couldn't do it, because it felt too lame to say I had no Saturday night plans. But she didn't either! So we're going Saturday night. The end.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Kristen and I are painting one of the walls with satin black and cream thick stripes, then doing a chair rail with cream on top. I'm keeping to the red velvet/wrought iron furniture and accessories.
Love.

Is it "Department staff maintain..." or "Department staff maintains..."? The former looks right to me, but Word's grammar checker is disagreeing.
In American English, a collective noun such as "staff" is singular, while in British English, it's plural. Therefore the second is correct, although I tend to rewrite to "department staff members."

Jilli, is Clovis still taking applications for minions? Liv's birthday present would like to apply.
Owen's getting one step closer to rock star. The crap quality is courtesy of my phone's camera.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Cashmere, bless. That's adorable!
It's also cracking me up how many other parents of toddlers named Owen have videos of their Owens drumming. Now I really want to see an all-toddler-Owen drum circle.

Awww! I've always liked that toy. Can't remember the name of it, but think it's cute.

I noticed all the Owens drumming, too, JZ!
That's adorable!
The best part was when we went to the comic store to pick it up and Liv said, "Rrrawr!" to the Comic Book Dude when he handed it to her.
It's Gloomy Bear, Jilli.
