That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Consuela, that's awful. I had a similar thing happen, but with my cheapy phone. Virgin replaced it gratis, but still... My note said to leave it with a neighbor who was home. Must've been a different driver than the regular one, because I've talked to the regular guy and he was laughing at how many of us trade sign-for responsibilities ("I feel like I should just take everything on this block to the E's!")

The ob website says they'll be back, thank god. I swear I bought every box I found in Birmingham. My SIL was laughing at me, but then she started grabbing boxes for me whenever we were in a store that had some. I'm probably good for a couple months more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh jeez, Consuela. Does that mean you're just SOOL?

Boo! They still had lots at mine when I was there, but I grabbed the wrong one.

That at least gives me hope for the future.

You all (Americans) know Tax Day isn't until Monday the 18th this year, right?

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

I got my lettuce washed. That's almost like having a salad.

Every other time they've delivered something that way it's been fine! I don't know; I have a call in to T-Mobile to bitch. It must be insured, right?

How frustrating, Consuela!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Consuela, I'd call T-Mobile and the delivery people. That's not professional (ugh, god, I heard that in Christian Bale's voice, dammit).

I think I've gotten my guy to stop throwing stuff. But I'm scared to have anything else delivered in case he hates me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm drinking a clementine Izze.

That counts as a fruit, right, fuckos?

I have an apple crisp baking right now; it's made with 4 apples, so if I eat the whole thing, I get 4 SERVINGS OF FRUIT! Plus there's 1/2 cup of oats, so that's super-good fiber, and you gotta have that. And! It has cinnamon, which is reportedly good for lowering blood sugar.

My god, it would be bad for my health if I DIDN'T eat the whole thing!

My sister made the best apple crumble over Christmas. That shit was amazing. Which led to the tales of my mother's famous un-apple apple pie. Apparently she tried to make it with no apple products whatsoever because she was resisting fruit imports into the island and it was the 70s. I do suspect that the pie I loved so much actually had apple juice in it, though. Fuck, that shit was GOOD.

And then there were the mince pies she made this Christmas. Thank dog her import embargo is over with. And the pastry---so delicate.

Which is to say, I have great hopes for your crumble, Steph, and I want some.

I think I will have some blackberry Izze to drown my sorrow in.

That sucks, Consuela. I hope it's not too much hassle to get a replacement.

First-world whine: It's been all storm, all the time, all day, and now the ABC affiliate has even more storm instead of Castle.

At least I'm not one of the people who've been stuck in the bus station for 24 hours.

Skipping ahead to remind ita to eat her fucking clementines.
