Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

Has anyone here every used FLYlady? (http://www.flylady.net/) I have been and it has been working, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar (free) place that was maybe a little less focused on moms and really heteronormative stuff.

I like the Flylady concept, but I can't bear the e-mails; the assumption that you're a mom with a husband; the constant lols; the amount of God; or the general cheeriness. I haven't found anything equivalent for grumpy agnostic single people.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Plei is me in those sizes. At one time I was down to a 5-6 and looked seriously unwell.

That cherpumple has been posted before, I think. I remember stealing it and reposting.

My husband played an original song last night IN PUBLIC! I am terribly proud of him and so glad that so many of our friends came out in support. One dude we've only known a couple of months who happens to live across the street from the bar at the end of ours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've done that! Both parts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG I want to stab my boss.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think bosses frown on being stabbed.

Oh, also, re: drinking at work. We actually had a wine cellar/room at my last agency also a salsa/margarita party, also also, bloody mary/mimosa mornings.

Why yes, I was in advertising, why do you ask?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

That cherpumple thing is waaay too much sugar for my taste, and I have a major sweet tooth.

Luckily, there are several states in between us.

And I would really only stab her a little -- in her hand, say, with a pen.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

And that's what you'll tell the cops! "But I only stabbed her a little. Is that even a crime!?! "

The accounting department I used to be in had a mini-fridge stocked with beer. Folks working after normal hours could dive in as desired. I'm not aware that has changed. Explains a lot of what comes out of that group (note, I was in a different office).
