smonster, it's glass.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

Instead of saying that the techs don't have cell phones, or whatever, her excuse was that it could cause an explosion (if there was a leak) and Entergy would be liable.
So Entergy gas techs spend the entire day out of touch with the office? Because back in the dark ages before cell phones, techs called the office by radio and the office called customers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Dana, that sucks!

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Dana, that’s so horrific. I’m sorry.
Aims, much love to your friend. I can’t even imagine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
So Entergy gas techs spend the entire day out of touch with the office?
No. Because I got a robocall from Entergy that they had turned my power on at 12:30 the other day (he'd have turned on my gas, too, if I'd been there). So why they couldn't robocall me 20 min. ahead of time, I don't fucking know. Ahh, New Orleans.

Oh Dana. That really sucks.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Aims, my thoughts are with your friends. Like everyone said, strength and peace.
And Dana, ugh. I hope the rings will pop out of nowhere ASAP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dana, that's such a terrible breach of trust in a difficult time. How awful to take advantage of her that way.
Aims, that's an unspeakable loss. I feel terrible for your friend. Just terrible.

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.
Dana, that's such a terrible breach of trust in a difficult time. How awful to take advantage of her that way.
This. I can't say it any better. It bugs the hell out of me when nice things go missing from the rooms of the individuals I work with.
Aims - lots of ~ma for your friend and her brother. I'm so sorry this happened.
Amyth, I'm glad your head isn't asplodey with bacteria.
Whiskey tango foxtrot, smonster. I don't even know what to say about the gas company.
P-C, many congrats for your brother.
Tacklehugs Shir.
Yay for sleeping dogs, Ginger.
Also yay for kitten fostering, askye.
