Warning: possible time suck!
You type a sentence and it finds a picture (via google) that matches each word. So you end up with a "sentence" made up of pictures.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I love how much Liese is enjoying her telescope.
It is so great! It's kinda the "don't be bored, be interested" thing that I'm constantly telling my kids. But it really was the ideal extravagant gift, because I had the interest, but I never ever would have bought it for myself, and we wouldn't have afforded it out of our regular gifts budget. But from something like the SO's unexpected side job, it was a sacrifice for him, but something I've gotten a lot of joy from using. And he loves it too, so bonus.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay Griffith Observatory! We just opened a new show in the planetarium up there.
Oo, which show? I'd love to take the kids and tell them I know one of the people who put it together.

Our wings are not tired
I've worked on all of the shows in the Planetarium. The latest one is called Time's Up.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Definite time suck.
We are making actual progress on home repairs today. Yay!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dag, our CIO just smacked down a pesky wanna-be vendor and I lucked in on being in the distribution list. She does not mess around. The company is casting a pretty wide net, and keeps poking at us every couple weeks to say "You gonna buy? Buy now? Huh?" and on yesterday's attempt, included the CIO. Her reply is reasonably long, perhaps more than they've earned, but she does actually tell them a) this is annoying b) you don't want her annoyed.
I love the language "please don't feel ... you need to escalate to me".
Thanks for the legwork on that quote. Would that half the people who put it up did that much due diligence.
-t, I swear someone just mentioned that story/concept around/to me within the last couple weeks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now I want to track that story down. I think I heard about it as an excerpt on the radio a couple of years ago, can't remember the title or author or character's names...a challenge.
Way to stick to your guns, msbelle!

I agree msbelle, kids should be able to entertain themselves, although I'm lucky to have built-in playmates at my house.
