Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Guys--board functionality question: what do you expect to happen if you hit on read new and you don't have any subscriptions?

Maybe newest post anywhere but mostly I would expect an error message telling me I was not really thinking the process through and was dumb.

Message Center with no threads in it, I think.

Nice having wine on the porch again, even if short due to school night.

Whew, found the name of the title company. Maybe I should, I dunno, LOOK AT THE FOLDER ALL THE PAPERWORK IS IN?!

It's weird how much applying for a job with the state of California reminds me of trying to get Grateful Dead Tickets-by-Mail.

That's some unfortunate timing, Dana.

I bailed on the roulade and made meatloaf instead, because my table of When Things in My Pantry Spoil told me that needed to be done sooner. I don't think I bought enough mushrooms for the week

Hahahah. For some reason, this cracks me up.

I cannot wrap my brain around the fact that today is monday. I went past the center of Montrose and thought, "Where's the farmer's market?" Oh yeah. It was yesterday.

Damn. We were supposed to go to Logan for a bike race and I'm sad we can't go because of both poverty and rescinded furloughs.

Because books.

Aw, Dead tickets. Although a job would be better, since the Dead aren't really the same now (I miss you, Jerry!).

I'm having trouble with that, too. To no practical effect since I have not gone out and tried to do anything today, but still, here in my head I know that I am confused. That is too bad about the bike race.

I don't think I've seen them in their current incarnation, Amy, so I will withhold judgment.

Oh, wait, settlement. I forgot that. My sig will not resemble my name by the end of the month.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seriously, do parents do things like this:

My StepDad is planning on taking her out of the house tomorrow, but I convinced them to let me keep her until I get a job if I can get 10,000 notes on this post by tomorrow at 1 P.M. EPT.

What possible motivation could you have to do that? If you're going to get rid of the cat, JUST DO IT. 10k notes is just...it's not even a thing. It shouldn't be affecting anyone's decision making. If there's a reason to keep the cat, KEEP IT. If you're not gonna, stop tormenting your daughter and get off the pot.

(Which is to say, I basically don't believe those posts, but then I remember being startled by actual trufax poor decision making, which reminds me that if it's not this, it'll be something else quite dumb. That's what you get with billions of people and glacial evolution (never mind wack reward scenarios))
