There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Because books.

Holli, I'm SW of Philly. But I could pay for shipping.

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

I need to send Holli pictures of several Vintage items of clothing. I have several pairs of gloves and some hats too that need to find new homes.

Holli, where in DC is your shop?

Down the street from me!

Punishingly Intricate

I am thinking of sending an email to all student about the missing item, detailing the amount of money it is, and hopefully flushing out Student A to actually tell me what is going on, and not Student B.

That sounds like a good plan.

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

Down the street from me!

Really, Sparky? I didn't realize!

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

Fuck. One of the kids in Matilda's class has a pinworm infection.

(If you don't know what it is don't look it up because it's gross.)

Yes. Walk about 1/2 mile towards the co-op . . .

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What sort of condition are they in?

Holli, they are intact, but have some stains, from being so old and kept in a trunk for so long. I think we have some women's underthings and some of my great-uncle John Martin's clothes and shoes. He was a snappy dresser. He went to Florida and ended up managing a swanky hotel and hobnobbing with celebrities. He never married and we're pretty sure he was gay.

I work there Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11-2.

Oh, vintage jewelry too? I have that. *sigh*

In my head I think I would be fine to retire now, but I realize that in reality, without some structure from an outside source, my days become wasted days and depression begins

This is me. I had to adjust to working at home, because that built-in structure wasn't there. But instead of not working enough, I tend to just keep on working until it gets dark and then I think whoops, where did the whole day go?!

Sophia, what a crappy situation. Hopefully Student B will have a guilt attack and return the costume as sneakily as he took it, so no confrontation will be necessary. He might, if he realizes he's not as sneaky as he thought.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am thinking of sending an email to all student about the missing item, detailing the amount of money it is, and hopefully flushing out Student A to actually tell me what is going on, and not Student B.

You should absolutely put all three of them on the hook for it. Is there anyone to CC other than the program director?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

There are so many things I'd like to do that, sadly, I can't get paid to do, that I could easily retire now if I had the funds. Travel, volunteering, learning things, exercising more, gardening, and dozens more.
