"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Wow, I forgot how fast this thread moves. Anyhow, since I can't stop the boys in the government from playing with their toys... Well, my MLIS program is for two years. After it, nothing that keeps me here.

I love this place. It's home, for better or worse. But almost nothing but insanity, hatred and fear are driving it.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I use the Square card reader to take credit cards at the flea market, but that auto-pay service does not appeal.

I spent the morning texting back and forth with Mr. Flowersocks. Apparently he used to dress like a Teddy boy. I may have to encourage him to start again.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yay MLIS program!!! I'm halfway through mine, but since I'm taking mine one class at a time, it'll be four years all told before I'm done, hopefully by the end of 2013. Ours only requires 12 classes in total, so some of the full-timers are pushing it and trying to finish in 12 months (4 classes per semester).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I gave one a pat. Just once, very lightly.

I don't think I'll ever get around to petting a bee, but I have used my hands to lightly brush them off me, or my kids -- even someone else's kid once.

Forget about the grading, it's the laundry that seems destined to do me in today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just had to image google Teddy boy to take myself to a happy place during this conference call.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Why? I haven't seen any objections to it that stood up to examination.

He's Seen Too Much. It makes him uber-careful with on-line financials. See "The Great Mint.com Battle of 2011." I won...but it was a struggle.

I have to say, Holli, you would seem to be, uh, tailor made for each other.

How does he feel about Paypal, Erin?

My boss likes my shoes (red Chinese dragon cloth Mary Janes). That makes three pairs of my shoes he likes. I feel rightfully chuffed. I have no idea why I even care. I win the shoe thing!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

But I used Square to sell concert tickets from my Android phone and that side of it worked like a dream.

My step-father just bought Square in order to sell merch post-gigs, but stopped using it after he heard about security issues with the software. Did you hear anything about those issues? (Side note: I really wish the parentals would ask me BEFORE laying out money for tech. Now I'm faced with setting up their shiny new tablet remotely, and it's not even the best solution for their needs.)
