I will not share the story of when an old lady died in the condo above my friend's and was not discovered for several weeks.

If it's a person, please let it be my neighbor's latenight-visiting friend that I refer to as Shrieky Hyena Woman. I'd put up with some flies if it means I don't have to hear her nails-on-chalkboard voice at 4 a.m. again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm finding myself irrationally angry with the Google Streetview camerapeople for not taking clearer pictures of landmark signs. (Right now, there is a goddamn MAP just to the right of where they were focused, and I can't look straight at it! Come on!)

I'm enjoying when the picture comes up and it's empty countryside, but when you pan around there's a big block of buildings or something. It's like instant travelogues.

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

I think I did share when it happened in my building.

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

Earlier today, I was in line behind a person who took, on average, a minute a doughnut to choose a dozen.

I would have gone off on them. You will get endless abuse out here if you get to the front of the burrito line without knowing your order.

In the South, we mutter and buy firearms.

Happened across the street from me. Spent a week excavating a 7 foot high strata of rubbish.

So sad.

I nearly stamped on the foot of a woman who took about 6 minutes to go through a list of 'I want this, but not this. Make this like that' while ordering a pizza yesterday.

Then, I thought, okay she strikes me a lonely person. Maybe this is the only way she can control something in her life. Sigh.

She's lonely with good reason; she's dithering and oblivious.

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

I am totally one of those annoyingly indecisive orderers. Sorry. I do try to stand back and allow other people to order while I peruse the menu and internally debate, at least.

Thanks for the 5-pt confidence, guys. I have plenty of time to figure out how to study for the next one, anyway. And perhaps one of my other paths to employment will work out meanwhile. That is certainly a thing that could happen.

Compassionately intolerant

Totally, but no less worthy of my compassion. I'll never get in line behind her again, mind you.

Oops, sorry to talk over you -t...my response was to David.
