I was planning on taking a bus back to the dealership
Yeah, I don't work anywhere that civilised anymore. Those were the days. I'm glad they're giving you a loaner--they frelled you here.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
On the upside, I'll get to leave early!
Maybe.

I have to save my leaving early hours to pick my sister up from the airport Wednesday in a timely fashion. And I still have to tidy and clean. And replace my shredder. I burnt out the engine with my last flurry of shredding. I didn't realise that it had a per day max on it. Oops. I have a lot of electronics piling up to toss. I've been assuming it's not okay to just dump a busted printer/DVD player/computer/shredder--am I being over cautious?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
No, you should look for a place that does electronics recycling.

Sam: Yes. I believe you have told me that you love food.
Guy: I do, I love food.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I made crab cakes for dinner. I'm highly recommending Zatarain's crab cake mix for a quick & easy recipe for the cakes.

And now they're comparing the contents of their desk drawers and debating the usefulness of each item in their upcoming stabbing rampage.
And talking about local Korean restaurants and explaining Korean food to the novices. And debating whether mutt or pedigree dog would taste better. something about pedigrees being stringy. I'm disturbed by the one guy's air of knowledge.

I have a faint yet hopeful feeling the Goodwill near me might accept electronics. But, man, the amount of tech crap I see dumped (but not in! They know they're being bad) our dumpster...and the pizza boxes in the recycling bin. Why can't people behave?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Watching the "Yes, Minister" Christmas sketch is one of my Christmas traditions. It never fails to make me laugh. In previous years I posted a transcription, but now it is available on YouTube: [link]
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Does anyone here know anything about memory foam bed toppers? Specifically if perhaps heavier people should buy the thicker toppers? I am hoping to avoid buying a new mattress, because, man, does my back hurt when I wake up. It probably doesn't help that my bed is also used as my sofa, so it gets a lot of use, and I am pretty heavy.
