I find that constant cleaning doesn't work so well, so I use the horror of what an upcoming visitor will think of my apartment to motivate me into big cleaning sprees.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Only, where is the right place to put the undealt-with mail? I don't know. This is the problem.
This is a problem for me as well! I realize the answer is not to have undealt-with mail, but still.
I can't be barefoot anymore (or for the time being? It hurts my feet), and I'm not going to have indoor shoes beyond flip-flops, so. On a side note, I'm not sure why flip-flops make my feet hurt less than being barefoot, bit they do.

I have indoor socks. Mostly because I get socks every year for Christmas from my sister and they are often woolen, which do me no good in San Francisco, but make for very nice slippers.

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 was given a powerpoint presentation to proof.
All the text is in bold red and blue papyrus. Occasionally in SHADOW with ITALICS, for no apparent reason.
I took out the bold/shadow/italics and noted on the paper copy that, "Papyrus is not a body text font. Your audience will be able to read it better in Times or Arial."
I am currently waiting to be told that I am a jerk for doing this. But I somehow feel as though I have at least given the audience a fighting chance at keeping their eyes from bleeding.
Does anyone know what the psychology is behind people who use BOLD SHADOW ITAL in every piece of text on slides?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They've discovered they CAN do it, so they feel they must.
Same sort of thing happened when word processing programs got popular, leading to the "ransom note" style of using every font available.

If it weren't for impending guests, my place would never be cleaned.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It is so NICE to wake up to an empty sink!
My DH does. Since he does the cooking, I do the dishes before I leave for work in the morning.
