I'm still trying to get over the fact that pineapples don't grow on trees. You could have waited a couple of years for me to accept this before laying this banana shit down at my feet.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

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 also think they are a marker of being rich, since I'm sure my parents would never have bought me one.
Yeah, my niece has 2, one purchased by her childless aunt and uncle (us) and one purchased by doting grandparents.

Thrive to spite them
The flooding could have damaged the root systems. Or prevented them from being harvested until it was too late. I'm assuming the plants stay in the ground from year to year and don't have to be replanted.

I know ONE lesbian here, who I haven't met yet (but might tomorrow at a burlesque thing) and knowing this town chances are good that she would be the one you would hook up with. She is going to the fetish party...
Hah. Well, that is my first stop...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You don't have to cover the whole plant to kill it by flooding.
Quite so. The following article has a picture of one flattened plantation near Innisfail, and gives an idea of the impact: [link]

Yikes.
Kat, it's kind of ironic that K bought a new car with seat warmers when you're enduring 100 degree heat, no?
Heated seats are the mf'ing bomb. I don't ever want a car without them. Even if it's not cold out, the best thing about them is on long drives. The heat keeps you from getting all stiff and cramped after hours driving. (Second best is turning it on full strength without telling the person in the passenger seat.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(Second best is turning it on full strength without telling the person in the passenger seat.)
That happened to me after baby-sitting once! And I'm not sure I even knew heated seats existed at that point. I thought I was peeing my pants and/or having a stroke or something.

Especially since she believes in the damned things.
Possibly that's why she doesn't want to talk about them? I dunno, just guessing.
Today is my day off and we're having the retirement party for our HR person. I like her and I said I would go. But I'm so cranky about the whole hiring process... It's not her fault. Argh.
