Why a portable dishwasher? (sorry if I'm asking something that should be obvious to me)
Because it doesn't have a dishwasher, and I know that if we don't get one there will be dishes pilled up to the ceiling at some point.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

sj, that rocks! I'm glad you've found something that sounds much more amenable in all ways.
Kristin, I'm so sorry you didn't get accepted for the Chaucer program, but insanely pleased that it means you can make the F2F.
MM, I'd say I'd trade my phone for yours (it only rings once every 4-5 days and by ring once, I mean it rings once and shuts up because no one ever calls me and it's some phantom ring), but that would be a really bad deal for me and for the poor saps calling me.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it is $155 less a month and in a much better, quieter neighborhood. I'm still trying to turn off the voice in my head that is telling me it's all too good and something is going to go horribly wrong.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nothing's going to go wrong. After all, it's not a restaurant.

That does sound great, sj! You can put that $155 in your account every month towards house-buying!
I really, really hope you enjoyed telling your present landlady that she's lost you as a tenant.

I know we're glad March is over, but can we put April on notice?
ALL THREE OF US are home sick today. Ugh....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Might be fun, though.
Phone: Hey, how's it...who the hell are you? *ring*
SailAweigh: I'm SailAweigh. I'll be answering you today.
Phone: Oh. Well. Oh. It's just that nobody told...but, you know what? It's cool. MM was getting crazy, you know? Just totally thousand-yard-stare gonna-bring-a-gun-to-work-someday spooky. *ring*
SailAweigh: That shouldn't be a problem with me.
Phone: Good to hear. Good to hear. *ring*
SailAweigh: Thanks.
Phone: So. Uh...*ring*
SailAweigh: Hm?
Phone: Just...you gonna answer me? *ring*
SailAweigh: Oh! Right!
FCO'tD: Blah blah blah blah blah blah I'm an idiot blah blah blah do something about it blah blah blah supremely aggressive and entitled tone.
SailAweigh: GO FUCK YOURSELF, MEATSOCK! I WILL KILL YOU! I HAVE YOUR ADDRESS!
Phone: I think I preferred the thousand yard stare.

I made TCG do it because every time I got on the phone with her she tried to sell another one of her apartments to us.

Yes! Some of it may be used to make up the difference in oil heat, but there still should be some savings in there. In the meantime, it feels more like a house where I can put planted herbs on the porch and not have to drag my laundry to Mom's every week.
