Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My UPS place is only open from 3 - 5, and is somehow simultaneously in a bad part of town and not near a bus stop. They are the devil (although they apparently pay drivers quite well).

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

My UPS depot is in the middle of nowhere and I do not own a car. Fortunately there is a retired couple in Apt 1 of my building who are very nice about accepting packages.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(That's what she said.)

My UPS guy comes at night.

I think they were talking about when they come to deliver packages.

I have called and made a doctor's appointment. Now I need to indulge in retail therapy as a reward for... acting like an adult, I guess.

Oh, what was it? Someone came into my office as I was watching, so I missed the end.

UPS would never deliver my packages in Berkeley and I wrote many complaints when the driver would do things like ignore my neighbor who was watching for him and walk away when she offered to sign for my stuff. And then there was the time they changed the delivery address on something, without my permission, because I'd changed it once on a previous package.

Here they manage to toss them onto my porch without a problem.

Oh, I did hear that! Good one. No, I'm sorry, it's not the same. It may be good enough, but it is not the same.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I remember the one time I had eyeglasses delivered to me via Airborne Express and they never buzzed my apartment (I was home that morning) but instead left the package sitting on the sidewalk in front of the door, when they could have at least opened the door and put it inside the lobby. Anyone walking by on the sidewalk could have taken it with nary a hitch in their step.
