The only thing I've actually fallen for is the Somerville Local First (promotes local spending) announcing they're partnering with a new Walmart store that's moving in soon.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got a little thrown off because our internal newsletter had one fake story in it. I kind of thought it would be all or nothing, so when I got to the ridiculous one, I scanned back over the rest.
I ate too much candy. Don't let me go to CVS for the next couple of days, OK?

Also: there is NO Walmart store moving in. There was a to-do last year with a significant citizen outcry when Walmart submitted a request to have a store in a new shopping district going up, but it ended up with the mayor and city aldermen elbowing each other aside to denounce it most loudly. So the SLF announcement worked on two levels, that the Walmart project was back (and had somehow slipped through) and that the SLF was selling out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Holy crap you guys I'm getting a tax refund from state AND federal this year! I don't think this has happened since DH and I started filing jointly, over a decade ago. (Well, there have been a couple of years where we got tiny refunds from both, but then paid them instantly in filing fees. This is the first year we've gotten REAL money back.)
Of course it's all going to pay off credit card bills, but still. Money!

There's one going around that I'm 99.99% sure is an AFs. Except knowing the possible perpetrator, they might actually hatch something that ambitious AND announce it on 4/1 just to stir uncertainty.
So I'm waiting to let go of that 0.01% until tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Christ. I totally "on" (Why do people say that? You're wrong! It's "by"!) accident posted Misha's picture on the provocateuse tumblr on the same day his fans are going so crazy posting him everywhere that the guy who runs Tumblr has noticed.
Are there takebacks? I hope I didn't lose followers...

Somebody I might be about to unfollow on tumblr just posted this, and all I want to do is respond that salt is not a plant.

Because books.
She's full of shit anyway. A nice rare piece of filet mignon tastes delicious completely naked.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I never really liked the taste of meat that much, but that's just stupid. (I'd eat some meat when I was a kid, but I was just as happy with other stuff. The only steak I ever liked was at a really fancy Argentinian restaurant, where it cost something like $50 in 1993. Never liked hamburgers, either.)
