Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Steph, if no one was home and the fridge was never opened, it should be fine. I would just sniff stuff like milk before using it.

I can never be too appalled by them, I guess because they've always been very open about being a Christian company? It doesn't seem like anything they've ever hidden while pretending to be hip, in other words.

Though starting every day with a prayer at work is freaky as is not being opened on Sundays (which makes it easier for me NOT to eat at Chick Fil A). Though in my commute to UCLA this week and last has had me drive right past the Hollywood CFA.

Oh, I didn't know about the prayer! That's not good. I knew about Sundays, though -- go to the mall food court on a Sunday and it's the only one that's dark. There's a craft place, Hobby Lobby, that's also openly Christian and closed on Sundays.

In-N-Out, though, has a bible verse on the bottom of their cup. Yet, they don't creep me out.

Seriously? I never heard that, but I've also never been to one. I don't think they have them on the East Coast. Or maybe there was one in NYC? I can't remember.

I meant to say, the Sunday thing doesn't strike me as weird because growing up nothing was open on Sunday, and most stores were only open Thursday evenings. And nothing was open as late as stores are now.

I was home, but only opened the fridge twice, really quickly, to get the pet food out and then put it back in after I fed the pets. When the power came back on, I felt the milk carton (a plastic gallon jug, half-full), and it was still cool.

I'm not worried about the freezer stuff; the ice cream might be soupy, but it'll re-freeze. We don't have slabs of raw meat in the freezer, so anything that might have thawed a little bit is bread, veggies, or ice cream. It'll all re-freeze and be fine.

I'll sniff the milk, though. You think eggs are fine?

The eggs will absolutely be fine, yeah.

Nope. In-N-Out is definitely not on the east coast. The bible verse is not really the verse itself, just Book, Chapter, and Verse references. [link] They are one of the best fast food companies to work for in terms of wages and benefits. Plus there is a whole family tragedy story and they are still family-owned.

There are Chick Fil A's only in 4 locations, all standalones, in so-cal.

Steph, eggs are totally fine. Fresh ones don't even need refrigeration, I know from a former roommate.

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