Now tagless for your comfort.

Somewhere in my Indiana hometown, there are several signs that read "Impeach Obama Now!" WTF?

a) He's committed no impeachable offenses. Unlike some presidents currently holding office.
b) You can't impeach someone who's NOT EVEN IN OFFICE YET
c) What the fucking fuck?
d) So fucking glad I got out of there.

Well, I meant that it was a family habit, not that they'd originated it. Sort of like how I greet my brother with "HEY DORK!" but, you know, classier.

Oh god, tonight I was trying to explain to him that the hankerchief pocket was a real pocket (on his suit,) just loosely stitched shut for appearances. At the start of the security line. So I was wiggling my pinky into the traditional gap left by the stitching, while he was wearing it. He looks at me and says loudly "Are you touching my manboob?!" I start cracking up. And then I had to sit. On the floor.

No one can quite manage not to embarrass me with stuff that would like my brother.

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

He's the rep in Pasadena, my boss met with him awhile ago, Jesse. Don't know much about him, but I'm I hear the L&O CLANG CLANG everytime someone mentions his name at work.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Ok. So my parents are coming to visit in December. We are all going to go to the wild animal park. If I buy a $129 membership, that would cover the cost of tickets ($34/adult) plus free tickets into zoo if we choose to do that the next day (it comes with 4 free guest passes). or I can get the $89 membership with 2 free guest passes - enough for the WA Park but not for the zoo which we aren't planning on going to yet).

Also do I order them now so we have everything or do I wait until we get there?

What to do?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Giant Kitten Headed Humanoid Cat Fight In Toyota Corolla Ad

Huh. Says it's an Australian ad. Clearly, I'm not making my quota of FTA television.

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

Where do they get Abby's clothes for NCIS? I want.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Apropos of nothing, it's bad enough that rents here are $1200+, but the people on craigslist that want 1 1/2 to 2 months security deposit on top of that drive me batshit.

Well, apart from the part where my 8:30 was moved to 10:00 and I didn't find out until I got there...but not his fault. He got stranded on Catalina Island.

Anyroad, he agrees that I should go to the ER as much as I have been. Which is depressing. And he doubled the meds that are making my appetite rage out of control. Whoops.

Still no word on the ketamine. Insurance company is dragging its feet.

How are you and yours. Sorry I missed the shrimp boil. I crave about everything these days, and shrimp is usually at the top of the list. But if I could have come the food wouldn't have mattered.

PBS is doing a show on WWII aviation, and I've just realized my father could well have been involved in the ferry program that got bombers across the Atlantic to England. He was in the Air Corps, and he was stationed in New York and mentioned going to Canada. Damn me for not being aware enough to ask questions when he was alive!

So, I want to track down his military records. I've got his SSN, but I need his service number. I'm going to ask my sisters if they know of any documents that might have this information, but I'm also asking the Buffista Hivemind if they know of any way to find a service number back to World War II.
