Whoa, cable guy showed up unexpectedly, with neither of us really dressed. Nothing like hiding under a blanket while someone messes with your TV.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How did he get into your place, Dana?

Trickery.
No, he showed up to collect the cable box. And I realize that account of the story sounds a lot more salacious than it is. Husband answered the door. I stayed on the couch under my blanket, as I was in my pajamas and unable to entertain callers.

Oh, don't underestimate yourself.
I think I've discovered a win-win way to end a conversation with a person who keeps jabbing back for the last word. Offer them the last word, since it clearly means a lot to them.

My god--Modcloth has some hideous swimsuits. Look at this: [link] -- who does that flatter? And if you can't find a good model for this [link] I'm not going to risk buying it.
They have a number of classic standards, but some of their deviations are dodgy as all fuck.
And I would love to rock this [link] but I'm not sure who (apart from the model) can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh my.
Jesus fuck. Now I think my cat is having an anal gland issue. If I have to take him to the vet this week, I might cry.

I could rock the high-bottom, but what's up with the strings?

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, Jesse. That sucks so much. And even more for your poor kitty!
It's something that the military is aware of, but tends to get glossed over, but massive troop deployment always winds up taking its share of casualties on shit like that. I was surprised to find out that friendly fire accounts for about 20% of battle casualties.
Far and away one of the most unsettling aspects of reading (your friend) Hillenbrand's book Unbroken was the startling number of lives lost in training, rescue attempts, etc.
