msbelle, that's the wrong link.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The problem, as I understand it, really is that this means that there will be even fewer jobs available for young people. It's not really about having to retire 2 years later.
Yeah, that's why it's kids and not middle-aged people rioting. I can see it -- I see it here! These g.d. baby boomers won't retire! None of the rest of us can move up!

Because books.
msbelle, I don't use AIM, but I saw the pictures, and I think you look lovely! Not too much makeup at all, and definitely old trying to look young. Silly.
You look polished and professional and pretty.

msbelle, that lighting is not flattering but I think the makeup is fine. You = pretty and age-appropriate.

ok, here are pics: [link]
You look cute as hell. A little sleep deprived and bemused, but I'd hire you. Makeup looks fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, like some other cities, Chicago has an 'L' system (the 'L' being short for 'elevated train'). So Apple has opened a new store in Chicago, so they donated a bunch of money to the CTA to refurbish the North Ave/Clybourn Red Line 'L' station. But I read that it's not really an 'L' station, as the train is underground at that point.
Does that make sense? I still call it an 'L' station, as most of the Red Line is in fact elevated. In my mind, 'L' refers to the whole train system, the vast majority of which is above ground, even if some stations are underground.

I learned this morning, France has a 10-day holiday (from schools) for Halloween??!!! What a magical place!
Well, All Saints Day anyway. They don't celebrate Halloween (although there was an aborted attempt in the 90s). It's basically their fall break.
