They DID become acclimated, but it took time, deliberate actions and patience on my part.
More than a year in, Darby and Gracie still completely Marcie each other. It's bizarre.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

[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.

We have folks who have worked for the census bureau, right?
Can anybody suggest a reason that the CB would be calling me on a Sunday with a case number? They offered an 866 number.
It just seems weird.

google the 866 number and see if it's been reported.

I finally just answered the phone. Apparently, after I cordially answered the census taker's questions, I was placed on a monthly survey schedule. Next month? Off the list.
I wouldn't mind except for the 'did you work less because business is bad?' and 'exactly how bad IS business' questions. It feels like an official rubbing it in.
Sigh.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
What Barb said, Andi. We're here if you need us.
