It totally sucks to have to say "i can't help with you that, and i don't know who can. you can try calling this number or look into getting a lawyer, but police can't help you with that problem...." because that is never the answer anyone wants.
Oh, absolutely. I didn't try to make my call an emergency partially because I didn't want you, or someone like you, to be forced to deal with it. It needed an officer set out, but not full 911 response. Ugh.
Now I wish I'd stayed on the line because I hope no one was injured. But it was just something needing attention, not an emergency.
Pete heartily endorses me staying w/ Cass for a week
Go Pete! That's a very good husband you have.
Oh Jilli! Pass along to Pete that I adore the coffee vendor he recommended. So good! Brightest spot in my morning routine.
Go Pete! That's a very good husband you have.
He's awesome. And I promise to take very good care of Jilli here.
The bad bit in it is that I get less time with Pete. But I am invading his home to make up for it next weekend.
Re Scott Adams, I've been scornful of his opinions for many a year, since he announced that he sometimes makes predictions that have a way of coming true, and one of his predictions is that the theory of evolution will be overturned sometime in the 21st century.
This quote is of course plumbing far greater depths of what I would like to call the Gibson-Sheen Abyss.
Well, I managed to stay in bed until 7:30. But still up at 6. Loki playing dive bomber under the covers, MK poking me in the face and Devi sharpening her claws on the sheets didn't help...
I just read Wil Wheaton's post about the Stand By Me reunion, and aw. [link]
Portland keeps saying it is setting up a 311 system but it still hasn't materialized.
Oh good, I was wondering, since we have that here too. (Good to understand that I was right about what it's for, not good that you don't have it yet.)
Hil or someone, what makes those lemon cakes Game of Thronesy? They do look delish.
Fay linked to that Scott Adams thing yesterday. Disgusting, and I don't see any sign that it's a joke. And now the evolution stuff? Where does this even come from? I would not have expected that.
I wonder if we have a 311 system here. I looked up the non-emergency number when I freaked over CJ being missing. They were extremely helpful and the police showed up to take the report within an hour. As much as it felt like an emergency to me, I didn't want to tie up the 911 operators over the issue.
Wheaton grewed up good, didn't he? That is so worth reading.
And speaking of people we'll miss, Diana Wynne Jones died after a long illness yesterday, which I have to say guts me about 1000% worse than Liz T.
