You know what's scary? Getting a credit card bill that covers 1/2 of your new sofa and chairs, 1/2 of a 7 day cruise, and all of the cat's overnight with one set of x-rays and 2 ultrasounds emergency stay.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Eep. It's always nuts to see to those huge bills, even when you know they're coming. I get that when I go on business trips and charge my hotel and food and everything, and I desperately hope the reimbursement goes through before my bill is due.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, bonny, I'm so very sorry. I'm thinking good thoughts for everything of them that lives on, and for everyone mourning for them.

bonny, my condolences. That's horrible.
I could spend $4k pretty easily right now. Hell, I'm in the middle of spending a lot more than that! And that's not counting my mortgage. I hate balancing my checkbook right now. I *planned* on spending all this, just the reality of it pains my cheapass self.

'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"
bonny, I'm so sorry -- that cuts way way closer to home than I'd want to be near! For their sakes, I hope it was so quick they didn't have the time to feel surprised.

Im spending 4000 on July 1, rent and security deposit. I need to find more fun ways to spend money.

Aw, thanks again guys...and JZ, this:
I'm thinking good thoughts for everything of them that lives on, and for everyone mourning for them.is exactly what I am doing.
I just went to the dog park and a whole group of people were talking about 'Bunky's people.' The little Westie is even more well-known than the couple. (If I were to have a headstone, which I won't, it would likely say "Bartleby's Person".)

Quester, are you looking for feedback on your very nice new website? I have two extremely small comments, if so.
