Pete's gonna hate me, isn't he?
That's OK - it's an adorable hate.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

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.

Wow, Daniel, I'm always in awe of people who do that.
Bonny, didn't you walk across the country?
Yes. Yes, I did.
In fact, I was being interviewed about that very thing while Daniel was posting about his nephew.
It's an awesome, inspiring, life-changing choice. I'm wishing him the very best.
Steph! I was a mystery shopper for movie theaters for 5 years. I mostly used my powers for good, but on a couple of occasions, it was nice to be able to 'clean house' when things were going really, really wrong in a particular shop.
I loved that gig!

Come and visit! Eat our fine cuisine of many lands! Enjoy the many museums and cultural opportunities! Take a walk in our lovely parks! Scream and leap in the air when a rat shoots out in front of you after dusk! (I know I do)
We will be perfectly helpful and polite (if not effusive) as long as you keep moving.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
But chatting while ringing things up still makes the ringing up and bagging take longer.
Not really. I can chat with coworkers and type up an email all at the same time. I can't imagine it taking more brain power to work a scanner and chat.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So, as I just posted on fb, it's been 10 years to the day since I left for Peace Corps. Damn, can't believe it's been that long. I should dig out my diary and a bottle of wine, eat some sunflower seeds, listen to Zdob si Zdub. I thought I was preparing for a life's work in international development, and kind of hoping to meet a life partner among my fellow volunteers. Those expectations, and many others I wasn't even conscious of, bit me right on the ass. Good times.
That also means it's 10 years to the day since breaking up w/ the gf I mentioned yesterday. Hah. Guess I shouldn't send her a breakup-iversary message on fb.

My sister hasn't quite gotten used to the limited personal space she has in NY. Where we're from there's back yard and front yard and different rooms to escape to. She's not quite adjusted to losing that.

It's not a matter of brain power, it's a matter of time, ::swipe:: is pretty instantaneous.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
In New Orleans, that would also include the cashier commenting on every item, asking what you're planning to make with the stuff you're buying, commenting on the weather, asking where you work and what you do, calling one of the other cashiers over to discuss an interesting item that you're buying, and it would take five minutes. And the cashiers would also just about always address me as "sweetie" or "baby," which I hated.
I haven't had this experience though I had been warned that I might. Rouses and Walmart have been pretty much all business.
One thing that I *love* here is the reduction in road rage and horn blowing, though.
