My idiot husband bought both the kids high-top converse this summer, without consulting me. Casper finally learned to tie her shoes as a result, but Dillo just turned 5! I'm lucky on the days he can get them on his feet by himself, and it makes getting out of the house in the AM a chore every day. I am all in favor of velcro or slip-ons (Vans for the win).
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Vans for the win
My 15-year-old wears slip on Vans most days. I know that it is for the absence of laces more than the cool factor. He actually said "I totally love these shoes, you don't have to tie them!"

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 really do want that Camaro.
My bucket list is primarily X-rated. Earning more won't help it.

Because books.
My bucket list is mostly travel at this point. And moving back to NYC, actually. Probably not a great idea for retirement, but I don't care. I know how to ride the subway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I don't really tie my shoes either. I mean, I got suckered into buying shoes with laces by my awesome shoe store buddy (they're selling the stores! What am I supposed to do now?) because those vegan Earth shoes have ties. But all I do is tie them a little loose and then pretend they're slip-ons. I can't do that with my Doc boots, but they're the only shoes I'm willing to tie for.

I drove down a street with some kids playing basketball yesterday, in my trusty 1998 Subaru Sport, and one of the kids called out, "Nice Lamborghini!"

ION, My Nemesis replied to my email with a substantive response that had no salutation, no closing, and no extraneous words of any type. I suspect she's entirely pissed off. ::shrugs::

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, substantive response. Screw the rest. She brought this on herself.

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

But what if the conditions are that it's freely given?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But what if the conditions are that it's freely given?
That costs extra.
