Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Please CC me on your correspondence with them, and I want to sit in on the meeting."

I would take yourself out of it. "The project requires that I am cc'ed on emails and sit in on the meeting." It isn't something YOU want, it's something that is good for the company.

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

they turn away people who're thin

You're allowed to do that?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You're allowed to do that?

Actually, weight is not a protected class, so I believe you can turn someone away for being too fat or too thin.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I really did not need to see flea's post today. DH's surgery is Friday and I am so scared that it's not going to be good news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Vibing for a good outcome, Maria.

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

Allyson, how did they finally find the part? Will you write up the solution because it would be fun to share with the FB peeps I shared the first part with.

Yes! I will be putting one up when i get home from work tonight. I fell asleep at 8:30 last night. I had no idea how much stress was on my shoulders. When i walked in the door, and looked at my car in the carport, I suddenly fell like I had to go to bed, but it was only 5:30. Had some supper and then passed out.

My mom still doesn't have power. I asked if there was a hotel she and my dad could stay at since she just wants a hot shower and you know, lights.
