If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Already have a reasonable offer from someone with 5/5 ratings on 15 things.

I used Taskrabbit.com for the first time and had a great experience! I really wish they were in New Orleans because I could see smonster really making good $ by being a Taskrabbit. I thought of msbelle too. Taskrabbit needs to be EVERYWHERE now!!!

Man, I wish they were in Milwaukee. Would be perfect for my dad.

I think I saw DFW on the coming soon list.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

today I am starting the process of printing and binding committee meeting handouts. 19 presentations copied and organized into 3 different packets, spiral bound. Only 11-15 participants though, so not nearly as bad as a big conference. Still, just me.

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

I just read this sentence:

UN Women is calling for an end to domestic violence and gender equality.

Why do they want an end to gender equality?

Sheesh. I can't read the LA Times anymore. The whole paper is sick with this kind of crappy writing.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm sick of this gender equality. I want to be superior.

FUCK. Short story: I have some kind of huge plumbing leak and no idea when a plumber will get here or what they will say/do. I fear it involves ripping up both my garage and my living room, possibly. AND I almost set the house on fire.

Long story: Decided it was time to get off my ass and do errands. Walk into the garage and everything was dripping and there was water spraying from the wall/plumbing that goes into the wall.

I freaked, turned off everything I could see that turned off, got soaked, called plumber, called javachik (because she's been through this), called insurance company. Took a whole bunch of pictures for documentation. Tried to figure out where the hell the house water shutoff is, since I don't know and was only able to turn off hot water and it still sounded like something was going on. Called plumber again.

Went upstairs and thought "well, I guess my kale chips that are damp can get re-cooked now, since I'll be in the house", tossed them in the toaster oven. Ran upstairs to get a powerbar from my room. Came downstairs and the KALE WAS ON FIRE. Grabbed towel, turned off toaster oven, unplugged toaster oven, filled convenient mug with water, opened toaster oven, smoke came out, closed it and turned on fan, opened again and flung water into toaster oven, then managed to pull out tray and douse thoroughly.

Please for the love of god I do not need anything worse today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

meara - stay away from fire and water. Also possibly earth and air.

I want to be superior.

I am more than willing to concede your superiority and I'm pretty sure Mr. Peabody will back me on this.
