Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

We had a totally free refi a couple of years ago. It is possible. If you trust the money guy, go for it

Good to know! I do trust the money guy, but a little voice in my head keeps saying "Free? Really? What are you missing?"

I may have to name the little voice Consuela.

My DH says that as soon as the tech is available, I can have a laser in my bionic arm.

There was spur of the moment gardening when I took the recycling out. I just couldn't stand the postage stamp any more. Still more to be done, but like I said, it wasn't planned. I have many mosquito bites.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Man, I wish I had had pizza for dinner last night.

(This post brought to you by Mooshy Food, LLC, and tonight's dinner of cottage cheese and room-temperature mashed potatoes. Possibly followed by applesauce and vanilla pudding. And a little sprinkling of percocet.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I finally looked to see what brand my flatware is, and found it online: [link]

I could make you custard, Tep! I just learned how, so I'm all excited about it. Of course, even if I was right there with you, it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow sometime. I may be reaching new lows of unhelpfulness.

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

OMG I cannot stop arguing with people who are supporting stupid chik-fil-a. OMG! They seem to all have a real big issue with me calling FRC and NOM hate groups. HOW DARE I?!!?1 How dare I call a difference of opinion hate?!?!? I want to drop kick these people into the Phelps Family Compound and let them fight their way out. FUCKOS!

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

Speaking of firing, I just want people to stop talking about their fandom's cannon.

I am totally unphased by that.

Except for how I'm not, and it was incredibly painful to even type that. Maybe not as painful as someone shooting me with a phaser, but close.

hip deep in pie

At alternative work location I met a guy who looked like a huskier version of Colin.

Well, I have to eat mooshy food for a few days, so it wouldn't be totally unhelpful! The geography, however, is trickier...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've done more googling, and not only are some of those gushing people getting the season, festival, and meet wrong--she's also being lapped by the other women in the shot.

Oh, INTERNET. There was a similar facebook meme a few days back honoring a fencer for being the first muslim woman to represent the US in the Olympics -- except for the tiny fact that she didn't make the team. Sigh. The enthusiasm and the spirit in which it's meant are lovely, but the total fact-checking fail...
