I'm glad to hear that Kelly arrived and is safe -- following the saga this morning belatedly!

Fay, I'm so sorry. I hope you get home quickly.

Fay, sending all sorts of -ma, health-ma, travel-ma, calming-ma your way.

Jessica, Is this you? ;)

Despite the rumors, I do not have an ironic moustache, nor do I fit into skinny jeans.

I think you may be mistaking me for my sister* who lived on Wythe Ave until she moved to Europe as part of a WWOOF program...

(*She doesn't have a moustache either.)

Safe, fast travels, Fay.

Jesse: this one's not bad: [link] It's not an especially low back, but it's lower than usual.

Wow, that is so exactly what I want! Too bad it's $150.

We just landed!

YAY!!!

Despite the rumors, I do not have an ironic moustache, nor do I fit into skinny jeans.

But do you have a mustache tattooed on your finger??

Can I just say, I don't understand how people don't think that joke tattoos are the worst possible idea? How long are you going to care about that joke? Forever??? Yeah, thought not.

Woof, am I mad at our neighbors. We share part of the driveway, and once upon a time there was a catch basin in the driveway that drained the drive of run-off. The neighbors hated the catch basin and wanted to remove it, they proposed to my husband that it be removed and some re-grading done - he agreed (his mistake, I noted immediately). I immediately pointed out that we'd end up with a lot more water on our side (downhill) and the neighbors and their contractor told me it would be fine - I never agreed with them, and, indeed, we ended up with a constantly running sump pump. We brought our own contractor out, he proposed a fix (another catch basin, just on our side this time) and the neighbor was there when he came out to the house to look at the property and talk about his proposal. We eventually gave them notice that the work was going to be done, and we wanted them to pay half (we'd agreed to pay half of the above work). They threw up all sorts of barriers and told us they didn't approve of what we wanted to do (all on our property). We had the work done, the sump pump is finally at rest, and they just wrote a long email about how disappointed they are in our behavior because we were so disingenuous because we only pretended to take their views into consideration and had the work done despite their objections. They refuse to pay any of our costs and want their half for the work they arranged for.

Fucktards.

How do they have any say if it's on your property, Sparky?

javachik is a rock star.

Fay, good thoughts winging towards you and your dad.

Sparky's neighbors need a sporking.

'Tis Monday, and therefore I gronk.
