Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, my dealership wanted to replace the rear condenser for my AC on my minivan to the tune of $1000. The two old, Polish guys who run an auto shop that I go to now bypassed the rear condenser, running just the AC in the front and recharged the Freon for a shade over $300.

They were very clear about the risks of the front AC going out and needing to be replaced eventually, but hey, it was a good fix when I needed to pay a lot less money.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

why would someone who self-identifies as conservative seek out interest in someone who self-identifies as liberal and states IN HER PROFILE that she will not watch Fox News.

I'm going to be charitable and assume that he was laboring under the fallacy that opposites attract.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am pretty convinced that there are several Jesus loving closeted gay men matching my profile, too.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm still kind of put out that they held an earthquake and didn't invite me. My roommate felt it at MIT! This is so unfair.

I actually called my Mom because I realized that Philly was close enough to really feel it, and it turned out that she'd been trying to get me, and the phones weren't cooperating.

Natural disasters are a lot more amusing when it's just a couple cracks and a couple pictures askew.

I don't like the chunks of plaster on the floor in the basement which is largely cosmetic and/or normal settling accelerated and I REALLY didn't like the sensation and uncertainty, but really, I don't think there is any major structural damage to my house. I still don't like it. I need to check that the porch roof didn't unseal from the wall, what with the fucking hurricane approaching. And need to recaulk where the porch pulled further from the wall than the existing caulk would allow for.

We Don't Do Earthquakes.

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

I still don't quite understand why fundies sent me so many messages. To save me, maybe? I'm talking about the people who list their personal relationship with Jesus as their most important thing and the bible as their fave book.

And I would say, "you realize I'm an atheist, and think the most important thing in your whole world doesn't exist?"

And then would get an accusatory email about having a closed mind.

Hm. I need to come up with a good twitter post and hash tags. I wish I had participated in more drabbles.
