'The Message'


Natter 63: Life after PuppyCam  

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.

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

His change doesn't stick, though, and she sails off into the sunset with her smoking, slutty-dressing self,

Punishingly Intricate

Alibelle, not just no heat but no electricity at all?! That's crazy!! Is there any way you can move into the new place early? (Yay for getting that at least!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, they are not. Just Friday through Sunday, and I did Monday on my own expecting to have heat again on Tuesday, but my savings account is pretty tapped out now between the hotel and the car. They said they were going to refund me my February rent, but I don't have it in my hands yet.

Holy crap. That's really appalling.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Seriously, I am sure it is not legal. I would be tempted to call every Consumer Advocate department at the local news stations. You're well-spoken, attractive and being tossed out basically - through no fault of your own - I'd think tv would eat that up.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seriously, that isn't legal most places. I faced a situation where it looked like my landlord would be cutting off my heat in January and, when I called, I was assured that it was illegal and if they tried it the authorities would come down on them.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't think your apartment would be considered "livable" by the laws of any state, Alibelle.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

What little I've seen of Grease has always disturbed me, especially the "I won't be worthy of him until I dress like a slut" thing.

That isn't offset for you by the fact that "he won't be worthy of her until he dresses like a jock" thing? The costume change never bothered me at the end because I felt like they were both trying to fit into each other's worlds.

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

Does he keep dressing like a jock?

I like the message because it proves that you have to smoke to get the guy!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

THIS from the man who posts job openings every time Steph grumbles about her job? fie! go write!

Ahahahaha!

I don't think your apartment would be considered "livable" by the laws of any state, Alibelle.

That shit isn't legal. Call the Board of Health and every news station in town.
