Ugh. I have to leave the house in half an hour to go to this training. And I want to be there, and I want to do some shopping nearby afterward...but at the MOMENT, all I want to do is hit a magic pause button and take a nap (even though I just got up an hour ago).
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm periodically surprised about how ... clueless? inconsiderate? flat-out rude? ... people can be. I have bad knees and I CAN use stairs, but if I'm on an escalator I ride. I've gotten a few rude comments (hey, I almost always stand to the right) but in stores where the escalators are too narrow to allow two people side by side (me standing, someone else walking), I've had people push me to try to make me walk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've had people push me to try to make me walk.
People do that? I mean, I almost always want to walk, and I consider it just my bad luck when I get wedged behind someone I can't pass, but PUSH? Someone thinks PUSHING is acceptable behaviour? Jesus.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
You just don't know anyone's story and there are times to shut your mouth.. I had a friend in sf with a sever RSI. She spent a lot of time riding buses to various parts of the city to go for walks. there wasn't much else she could do. She looked healthy - but had to sit , she couldn't hang on to a bar . Esp. In china town she got yelled at all the time for sitting in handicapped seating.
Good luck bonny. I hope you met a new friend

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes. people are fucking ridiculous.
seriously. I'm about 10 personal incidents away from living in a mountain cabin or in a remote beachside village.

Yes, people would push me - not hard, but enough to send the message they wanted me to move.
And the buses have seating reserved for the elderly and handicapped at the front, but I've seen apparently healthy people - often teenagers - sit there, as often as not taking up more than one seat, while someone with a cane or crutches had to stand.

You've probably seen me in that seat, though. Because that's exactly what I'd have looked like--a healthy teenager.

and my friend looked like a healthy 20+ year old. But no she didn't take up more than one seat

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
JZ, I have no problem with questioning a person without any kind of plate or keying their car, but questioning a valid plate is different.
Real estate bitca responded once again and still missed 2 questions. She is responding to our agent and he is forwarding them to me, so I am restraining myself from responding "can you even read"?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Much love, bonny. If it's not right, don't force it. BTW, the little purse you gave me is just right for holding essentials at parades. Thanks again.
sj, I'm out of creative gobsmackedness at that agent. IDEK.
