I just don't want to know what was in it.
Or who...
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am disproportionately irritated at people who complain about Zarmina. Would they prefer it be named Cathy? WTF?

Is it Zahr-MEEN-uh? Once I heard it pronounced, I think I'd be fine.

I had to google Zarmina, but now I am prepared to be irritated. What complaints do people make?

I went to buy 50% off Halloween things, but everything I chose was not 50% off. GRRR.
Now I am changed for the mac school event. I delivered the round brownies that I am sure will get labeled cupcakes, whatev.
I sent off a nastygram to my mortgage company asking why if the closing was last week and I already have my pay out are they still showing my mortgage as in effect and will a balance. DOES NOT! mark that paid. Maybe I will call them now and discuss it with them in terms of getting a HELoC on the TX house since I cannot get a cash-out mortgage on it.

I've read a lot of people complaining that it's a stupid weird name. It's a planet, people. Named after a woman. It's not like there's a huge amount of precedent.
Oh, god! I didn't make my phone call! I suck.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Still. How is it pronounced?

Huh. People are weird. It's not like he stuck a bunch of apostrophes in it or took all the vowels out.
Eta: I'm hearing it the way you speculated, Daisy. In my head, because I've only seen it in print, but I'll go with that until told differently.

So I cannot get a mortgage or a home equity loan because I have been self-employed for less than 2 years. Getting a part-time job will not help either situations, but if I got a full-time job I could get a HEL in possibly 1 day after employment and a mortgage in possibly 2 weeks. Full-time employment is not any more secure than the other 2. makes no sense. F them, I am going to make this work, because I do not want a full-time job yet.

Does anyone else in their late-30s or older remember the Walk for Mankind fundraiser marathon walks back in the 1970s? I was just talking to a coworker who is freaking out over doing her first 10K run Thanksgiving week, and mentioned doing the Walk for Mankind in junior high in the late '70s. It was a 20 mile walk, usually finished in 6-8 hours by me and whomever I was walking with, and raised money for a charity called Project Concern, which I believe was with the Jaycees.
When I googled it, I only got a few hits, surprisingly enough. I thought it was a big national thing, but maybe not?
