I'd rather take a picture of the check and have the iPhone spit out the cash
That would be awesome. But also bad.
I would be there right now.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

IIRC, it needs to be black tea, not green or hippie fruit tea, because the tannins in the black tea are what make the capillaries contract.
I started to say this, but suddenly it seemed too complicated to explain. I think my over-exposure to passive aggression over Thanksgiving broke my brain. Anyway, it's the tannins from Camellia sinensis leaves that you want.
Be sure to watch out for things with tiny seeds, Hil.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I love you all. There is showering and getting ready for work in my immediate future, but I wanted to say that before I went.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's an extension of the new ATMs that can just eat your check and read the amount on it magically, saving you from having to deal with deposit slips and tellers.
Well, except the ATM can read the MICR code on the check. I'm not sure the Apple app does that.

Hey smonster! Thanks for that "sucking at the hind titty" line. I've already put it to good use.
But Mr. Waits does not purvey weak, hind-titty sucking blues to vamp behind Terry Gross and her warm chuckle...

I still do not have a cellphone at all. Yes, there are a few of us left.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My brother and SiL don't have them, either. They claim it's because coverage in Vermont sucks, but that's not actually true, based on my ability to use my phone in Vermont. They just like not being reachable 24/7. (I told them that cell phones turn OFF, but they just pooh-poohed me.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They just like not being reachable 24/7. (I told them that cell phones turn OFF, but they just pooh-poohed me.)
I also find that not answering my phone unless I'm in the mood to talk solves this problem quite nicely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I told them that cell phones turn OFF, but they just pooh-poohed me.
It's not like you have to answer them. I fail to answer both my cell and home phones when I don't want to be reached. I consider myself still in control of those choices.
It's one reason I don't ever give out my personal cell number for work reasons. Different unreachability criteria.

Yep, same here.
I love my iPhone. Having the Internet right there, in my purse? Best thing ever. Not to mention texting, email, a bunch of books, movies, and music. And a camera!
