I *loved* Poisoner's Handbook. But the wood alcohol chapters scared the shit out of me.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because books.
Are gifts a done thing for a first communion? We just got invited to the next door neighbor's son's a week from Sunday.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
But as of yet, no one has died/been killed in the office.
For goodness sake, you can't just leave it to the last minute! Get busy!

Yup! Money's good too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker just asked the same thing! Except it's a nephew in her case. The verdict was yes, gifts/money.

The guy across the cubicle wall from me may just achieve an aneurysm. But I am going home.

Excellent. Thanks, people. My niece and nephew were out of the country when they did theirs, so I had no clue.

Yay, Perkins, and go Gud!
Sorry about the work stress, Connie and sarameg. I'm in the middle of student move-out, which is our second-busiest week at work (behind student move-in), plus I'm weaning myself off Celexa a tad bit faster than doctor's orders, so I've discovered that I'm prone to WILD mood swings this week. Very unpredictable!
I usually tip 20% for most everything, unless I know the person, or I find them unbearably charming somehow, and then I tip a little more.

Oh! Tip type question! So, yesterday I got a massage, because I'd "won" an hour gift certificate there at a silent auction. Now, normally I go to spa-type places, and charge by card, and there's a tip line, and I tip 20%ish.
But this place was all "we do medical massage! It's for insurance!" etc etc, though they had a cash price (lower than the insurance one). And of course, I was paying with gift card. In that sort of instance, was I supposed to tip? I didn't, the one time I went and got a massage at a place using my doctor's prescription.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Uggh. Headache getting worse instead of better. Ibuprofen applied.
