DJ- i hear that rage. I posted the news link (and the link to that petition) and one of my lawyer friends actually responded along the lines of "she broke the law and she's lucky she was only convicted on the lesser charges" and my brains started oozing out my ears i was so incensed. Can't even respond to that level of "anything illegal should be slammed with the toughest possible penalities with no regard for precedence or the circumstances that caused it" without going off the deep end.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I don't use coupons, too many of them are for foods we don't eat. For me planning was the key -- and a flexible plan. Which is easier in the winter. soups and stew freeze, if we don't eat them all

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Part of it is that we buy local, organic, yadda yadda, as much as possible, which I'm not really willing to scale back on unless we really needed to
Oh yeah, this is a big part for us too.
I pretty much do all of my grocery shopping from one online store - the money I could save by going to multiple stores and using coupons isn't worth the extra time it would take.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You too! God, it's been... a long damn time! Since 2007? That ain't right.
And I still owe you money! I haven't forgotten, I just never manage to remember when I have actual money. Sorry about that.

Thunderslush! Well, it was at 4. It's snowing now. Of course, when I was walking to my friends' to feed the cats, it was slush/sleeting.
You guys, I can quit working now, right? I mean, I was gone from 2:30 to 4, but I've basically been working since 7. 7:30 if you don't wanna count getting the laptop.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
UGH, msbelle.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
And I still owe you money! I haven't forgotten
...Really? Clearly I have forgotten! Seriously, please don't worry about it. Put that money towards a Get Smonster to NOLA fund instead. :-)

Go home, sarameg!
My afternoon work project has turned into an Onerous Task. I've had to run down to the storage room in the basement three separate time now, and have to go back once more because of a stupid typo from a customer (the law was amended in 1986, not 1987, so no wonder I have the wrong volume!!).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
