I laughed. I have to say, I like the crossword community because it is (obviously) pretty nerdy, but mainstream enough that the people aren't terrifying, as a rule.... Um, kind of like this here.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh, so timely: Massholes! [link] Will Jesse be auditioning?
I am not a pasty kind of woman. And the car needs an engine, so I think we are definitely getting a new car. Some piece of the seat of the cylinder head for the valve BROKE OFF and FELL IN THE ENGINE.

That's ROUGH. Also, they are going to need some translators if they want to talk to Massholes about "hoagies." We don't have that here. Also, I think maybe they meant Southie, not the South End.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You should contact the production company! Clearly they need a translator/cultural liaison.

The comments are pretty priceless, too.

Heh. That would have been me 15-20 years ago, but I'm still rusty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I went on my second sailing lesson yesterday. Major fail. The winds were less but from the North, which meant waves had the length of Lake Michigan to build up so they were much bigger than Sat. I got seasick about half an hour into the lesson and could not stop throwing up. Eventually I was just puking bright yellow bile (at least I assume that's what it was.) They had to drop me off at a dock while the rest of the guys continued the lesson.
So I went home. Got on a train, went one stop, got off to throw up, got on the next train and made it the next ten stops to home. Stayed in bed the rest of yesterday. This morning I still wasn't feeling well so I called in sick. (When I close my eyes, I still feel myself bobbing about in that 21' boat.)
Am still rather depressed about the whole thing. Dunno if any anti-nausea remedies would help enough for future lessons.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
tommy, it's definitely worth trying, isn't it? Sorry you had such a miserable time, though.
I am trying to decide if I should consider going to the doctor. Maybe. I have been coughing for about a week, and it's getting worse rather than better. But if it's just allergy-related, there's nothing they can do.

Oh man, that sounds miserable, tommyrot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, tommy. Can you get to any anti-nausea meds today?
