I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How early is not too early to mow the lawn on a weekday? As a matter of neighborhood etiquette.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What happened?

Throughout the whole episode, there were numbers on things, like books and signs and logos and whatever. They started at 50 and were counting down through the whole episode. At the end, Lily got out of a cab with number 001. Marshall was all excited to tell her that he got his test results from the doctor and his sperm count is fine, so they can have a baby, and then she told him that his father just died.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

In the spirit of unofficial onerous task day I exchanged some boots into a bigger size to accommodate some actual winter weight socks. Couldn't just go up a size so a slightly less cute style but now in GRAY. Y'all know how I feel about gray. It was an onerousish task because I loathe the mall.

I also did yoga today. Wow, out of practice. I should really go tomorrow too.

Does anyone else have to force themselves into laze?
The words LOOK like English...

But they aren't. I checked. They are not my language at all. I wish they were...

Happy birthday, shrift. I wish it were a better day for you.

7?

Sweet, I probably won't get on it quite that early.

Yeah, I'd say on a weekday, since I tend to sleep in, I'd be annoyed at someone mowing the lawn at 7 (well, these days there's no lawn to mow and it's still DARK at 7, but in summer), but I wouldn't think it was out of line. If that makes sense.

On the weekend, I would curse their names.

I'd go with 8 am as a good mowing starting time, myself.

7 is the earliest acceptable, mainly in the summer (due to heat,) but I'd still feel free to curse, even if I was already up.

I wish I had some vaporub to stuff up my nose. TOO MANY SMELLS.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Yeah, an hour before the standard workday begins seems reasonable. Two hours would be pushing it.

7 a.m. on weekends would be grounds for acquittal.

People cursing my name over coffee is exactly what I want to avoid. I'll try 8 and see how hoppin' the neighborhood is by then. The professionals who do my neighbor's yard often start at 9, so I know that's pretty safe, but that's late enough I'll have been distracted by other tasks, knowing me.
