Hey, that's right. You're a taxpayer: you own them!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Allyson, have you written to the Consumerist? (http://consumerist.com/)
Also I'd love to see Cartalk take this one on and help you out. And the LATimes of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How did you find that, Ginger? I cannot navigate that site for crap.

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 have now reached Save Firefly levels of insanity.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that site is tough to navigate, but the article is good. And it says they called, too, so GM should start hearing stuff, because that type of thing spreads. Make sure you have your documentation, Allyson, I'm thinking you're going to need it.
I clicked on the "car news" icon at the top, then Allyson's story was on top of the middle small column.

I have decided to sneak exercise in my life. I'm going to try using the stairs going down at work from now on.
Problem is, I've assiduously avoided exercise for the past three or so years. Those ten flights of stairs feel perfectly effortless while I do them, but they make my legs wobbly when I'm done.

I made it to karate and had a good work out. Also got to squick a few people by sharing last night's adventure. We are headed off to talk with his pediatrician in a bit.
