I just wish Kozmo hadn't collapsed under its own weight.
What is Kozmo?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zen, you should hook up with the people delivering tacos by drone.

This is an actual thing? Brilliant.
Connie, comfort food doesn't get flung at you from a speeding vehicle! It gets handed to you gently, in a temperature-controlled box with a ribbon on it, by an attractive person with a calm and understanding demeanor. Premium Members get a warm fuzzy blankie.

We take our comfort where we can, here in the rugged, wild west. Warmth and understanding may just be too much for us to stand.

zenkitty,
you might want to tweak your business idea. someone comes to me with comfort food and the right kind of demeanor, they might have to sit in my home for 4 hours and listen to ALL the problems.

Aims, I am sorry your mother-in-law is driving you crazy. FWIW, I often boggle at the comments she leaves on your posts.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Things I want to accomplish today:
1. Go to the farmers' market.
2. Sweep kitchen and bathroom, and sniffer the stairs, living room and dining room.
3. Actually read some fanfic and review it. (since taking a pledge to leave a comment on every fic I read, I have not read any because I didn't feel I had the energy.)
4. Nap.
5. Maybe try out the Italian restaurant around the block that has been there for a year.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Rassen frassen. Came home on Friday to find a letter from the government. Apparently we've been overpaid child tax benefit and childcare benefit to the tune of $9,000, and they'd like it back now please. (Actually $11,000, but they already took back $2,000 from our tax return.)
Next week I predict a call to see if they're amenable to setting up a (re)payment plan.

Ugh, billytea, WTF? That's a pretty serious mistake on the government's part.

No, it's not really their fault. It was the financial year where I'd just gone back to work after getting laid off during the GFC. We estimated at year start how much we were likely to earn over the year, based on the days per week my work was saying they'd need me for; and our entitlements were assessed on that basis. In the event, my work hours got ramped up quickly and drastically, so our income was higher than anticipated. (I'm guessing we crossed some cut-off threshold.)
That's all fine, I don't mind having to pay it back. (I very much support government assistance being better targetted to those most in need.) But it's still a pretty hefty and unexpected bill to have to deal with.
