Jesse, dare I say it, trumping my remark in Natter:

Dana: OMG, I'm trying to be snarky on FB and almost used "trump" as a verb (in its normal sense), and then realized I needed to find another word to use.

Jesse: Or passive-aggressively poking at each other. "Three NO TRUMP!!!!"

Dana: My neighbor is coming over. Here you can see the shakiness of my principles -- he's a Trump supporter, and yet I needed someone to deal with the bug.

Connie Neil: The perfect person to deal with not-quite-dead roaches!

Amy in Delurking:

It's always like coming home to that rambling but comfortable house where everyone is usually cozily tucked into random nooks and corners, talking, but gets together in the big ballroom once in a while to get crazy and tackle-hug. I miss it.

Nate Silver threw his abacus and dry-erase markers into the fire and said, "Fuck it" at least 6 months ago.

Raq in Bitches on the Pencil Pouch Audit:

My son needs a pencil pouch audit day. Also possibly an ass-with-both-hands audit day.
