Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is a potato a fruit? How about a pickle? No? Then, I have had no fruit today. YET, okay. I might have some peaches later. Since you're auditing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Coffee is kind of a fruit. Well, it's a plant, anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

For once, I am ready for the surprise fruit audit; I had a banana for breakfast.

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

Pickle is fruit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had some grapes. And peach butter on an English muffin, but that probably doesn't count. But the grapes totally count.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I had juice at breakfast.

I win at the DavidS breakfast audit.

I brought an apple with my lunch. And it is now one minute after the start of my lunch break, so I guess I better get on that, huh?

There was grape jelly on my English muffin?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Dried cranberries in my oatmeal, handful of cherries, a peach on the brink of over-ripe.

Allyson, what everyone said. Your car is your independence in most locations. We don't live near enough to the grocer, the post office, the library, work, really, any of the places we need to go regularly, to be able to live a foot-propelled lifestyle. Public transit is most often inadequate. For most of us, a car's a necessity. This situation is unacceptable, and you're forcing them to deal with it before it becomes a widespread problem. You're good.

Suzi, I am awed at your composure with CJ bleeding so dramatically. All best thoughts to him--and you!

Sophia, I agree you need to actually work with her a bit before you begin to worry. Chances are the two of you will work out a relationship that works. The best boss I ever had was a raging hormonal bitch--I just knew where the land mines were buried and how to avoid them. Our relationship was practically telepathic, and when she got promoted to the state office, we learned that we'd ruined each other for highly effective working relationships.

Hi. I've been here. Some days it's hard to make the fingers work.
