That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Is school out for the summer now?

It is now!!! Today was the last day. I'm now home and getting ready to leave for the end of the year party. Woot!!

It was cute to watch all the 8th grade girls sobbing over leaving middle school. And, surprising. Surprising because of who some of the girls were (girls I didn't expect to be criers) and suprising because I certainly didn't cry when I left middle school.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

but do you really think it's the reason behind all of it?

What other sorts of reasons do you suggest?

God information collecting and organisation for re-presenting purposes is twisting my brain in an not-leaving-the-building-for-lunch sort of a way. I hope I at least manage a late afternoon stroll for a...well, I don't know where to get decent hot chocolate. Something.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Roto Rooter gave me another $5 off this time. Which is nice. He pulled a sock and two toothbrushes out of the kids' toilet.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

He pulled a sock and two toothbrushes out of the kids' toilet.

Cash, I think your kids are bent on world domination one toilet at a time.

I admire you so damned much.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yes, I think I'd have long since resorted to yelling "That's it! I'm putting a lock on the toilet and you're wearing diapers until you can drive!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I heard the news about Bo Diddley -- he was younger than my Mom is! That's just wrong, because he should have got to go on much longer than he did. SIGH

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

What other sorts of reasons do you suggest?

behavioral, chemical loop that reinforces itself

I've met some people who didn't articulate their compulsive behavior in terms of some neurosis or anxiety that needed to be staved off, it was just stated as fact. And sometimes in kids I see compulsive repetition which seems to me more connected to pattern recognition than anything else.

Our wings are not tired.

Cash, I think your kids are bent on world domination one toilet at a time.

My son flushed a plastic cup that he found in the doctor's office bathroom. Took out the toilet until the plumber could come fix it. Wrecking them at home wasn't quite enough fun. It was a while before he was allowed to go to the bathroom by himself again.

not your mom's socks.

Ha! F2F in PA.

::raises head from pile of paper to say...::

WHEN??!!!

Cashmere - buy the auger. Guaranteed that they'll stop flushing things.
