Feh. I have had a twitchy eyelid for the last few days. What's that about?
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

OMG, why am I having to tell a member of Best Buy's Geek Squad how to view hidden files in a Windows system?

Stress. Sometimes potassium helps, so reach for a banana.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Apricots have more potassium than bananas, in case you don't like bananas. (My sister hates bananas, and loves apricots, yet stubbornly persists in making herself eat a banana every morning for the potassium. When I ask her why, she claims she doesn't really hate bananas. Don't be like my sister, banana-haters! You have options!)
Sweet merciful mother of god. I thought the chainsaws had stopped, but they're back. How can there be any trees left over there?
Is it ridiculous of me to want to move somewhere where I can hear NO sounds generated by humans and their damn machines, ever?

No, but it is difficult. I use earplugs to sleep.

Hey... I have earplugs! They're danged annoying, because I can hear, like, my own breathing and pulse and such, but they almost entirely block out the sound of the chainsaws! Thank you, quester, for reminding me of the solution already in my dresser drawer. (I'm a dummy.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My SIL is on Facebook having a meltdown about this news story:
And I read it, and said, "how do you know that what the father is saying is true? It's an editorial. There are no police reports, and the writer spoke to no one (or didn't quote anyone) from DYFS or anyone who could possibly refute the father's claims.
Though, I admit, I am automatically suspicious when Christians claim persecution. In the US. Try being a Muslim for three minutes. Toss on a hijab. Then talk to me about persecution. You haven't met persecution, not unless you're currently living in ancient rome and have a lion chasing you around a pit.
I'm being a jerk.

Thank you, quester
You're welcome, Zen! Your tale reminded me of the time the house next door was being sand blasted for about 3 days straight!
Happy Birthday, Raq!
You are not a jerk, Allyson.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Allyson,
what kind of online publication is that? Is it a religious publication? I'd feel better if there were reporting in say, a newspaper.

It's a fairly well known (note I don't say well respected) far right site. They're generally well into crackpot territory.
