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've done some of the math, and they'd be paying me a lot more if I went after them for the utilities.

Are you planning on doing that?

Allyson, that is so obnoxious. I would totally go after what they owed me. Of course, I get pissed when someone takes too long in the bathroom, so what do I know.

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

I just introduced my mom to Zappos and Overstock. Somewhere my dad is quietly weeping.

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

I've become so deadened to the Clinton campaign's cries of "Well, people who didn't vote for me, um, don't count anyway! Because [ridiculous pander to her Favorite Demographic of The Hour]! Nyah!" that the comment quoted above doesn't even ping me at all.

I'm planning on waiting for my security deposit, and if it's anything less than my money, sending a PDF of my lease and last 6 utility bills, and asking if they'd also like the video of my ceiling caving in and filthy water pouring into my tub.

Ultimate revenge?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When did you move out, Allyson. I'm sure you already know, being the smart woman you are, that they have 21 days to send you the list, otherwise you get all of it back, no matter what.

What asscakes they are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What asscakes they are.

Seriously.

One more thing on the Clinton thing - her language made it so much worse, but I do strongly object to what I think she was trying to do. Her line is that this white working class group supports her and that that support is growing - okay. But what I think she's trying to do there is put fear in the minds of Democrats everywhere that if you put a black man up there the working class whites are going to fuck you. It's not race baiting, exactly, and it's really more offensive to the working class whites she's talking about when you get right down to it. But it's meant to play on our suspicions of each other, to convince us that the notion of a society - and a politics - that tries to change for the better is some kind of dangerous illusion. And it's this kind of insidious argument that has me so impatient for her to drop the fuck out already.
