For those who remember, TableTalk shutting down.
Aw, that bums me out.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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
Gosh. It's so weird. Now I'm having WXing and People's Forum flashbacks, as well.
Now I feel hella old.

You may have already done this, Steph, but send them a screenshot of the UPS status? If that is possible. How frustrating!
They can access the UPS status from their end, too, so they can see it. I get that they have a procedure to follow, but it's long and frustrating and not very service-y to the customer.
ION, how do you kill ants? Other than squashing each one? I came home to a kitchen full of ants, and if I don't die from disgust, I have to kill them, but I have no idea how. This hasn't happened since I moved in with Tim, and prior to this I lived in apartments where you just called Paul the superintendant when bugs showed up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ants? Traps.
Wow, Table Talk shutting down bums me out, too!
I got my new glasses in the mail! I know the are objectively 90% identical to my old ones, but I still think they look weird. I even took cell phone pictures to show you people, but even I could barely tell which was which in the photos. So I guess I'll keep them. They are weirdly sharper than my old ones, which I think is good, just needs getting used to.

Hmm. The FAQ says it's safe around pets, so...I think I'm going to the store.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Seconding the Terro rec. It's the only thing that's worked for us, and we've sprayed and used traps--always go back to the Terro.

Matt's right: Terro is the best.
Steph, sounds like Apple's giving you the same story I got from T-Mobile when UPS left my expensive new smartphone on the front stoop, where it was stolen. It took me 90 minutes on the phone with customer service, and threatening to cancel my membership entirely, to get them to send me a new phone.
At one point they were going to make me wait six weeks to ensure that I wasn't using the phone myself...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
