But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank God he is OK and was wearing protective gear!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yes indeed. Protective gear FTW!

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

Got it. Will tip! Thanks. I never had a cleaning service before. I feel a weird combination of excitement and guilt.

Punishingly Intricate

Yikes, Scrappy! So glad it wasn't worse.

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

Yikes, Scrappy! Hooray for protective gear, indeed!

I tried a low carb mac & cheese recipe last night. Tasted pretty good, a little soupy. Will try baking next time.

BK for lunch!!!

followed by guilt since I know I have been eating crapola and neither like the way I look nor feel.

At least I got tea and not soda, I guess. That is one lent habit that has stuck.

ION 0 tedious taskwork I started yesterday, then messed up. Well I got help fixing it yesterday and am not done with 4 of the 5 things in one part of it. YAY! SO at least I will finish that part today.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Scrappy, I'm glad DH is ok. That just sounds incredibly scary. Again, thanks be for protective gear.

I spent 2 hours this morning working on 3 expense sheets. Arrrggg. I don't mind the travel but I need to be in a better habit of submitting my expenses immediately. Though, now that I think of it, I actually haven't gotten my work credit card bill yet - so at least I'm ahead of that. I'll take the small victory.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Fuck, Scrappy. So glad he's okay.

I didn't know tipping your cleaner was a thing. You're already paying them, and they're not underpaid with an assumption of tips like wait staff, right?

I did Zombies, Run! again today. Unfortunately, since I was running/walking in the hills, I got eaten by the zombies twice. Woops. Still, it's a pretty fun app: it really makes you want to get out there and do it, and the zombie chases are good interval training. And there's a whole game-play element on the website (which I think I will ignore in favor of job-hunting).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Scrappy, yikes! So glad he's okay!

I'm happy to hug people I love, and willing to hug people I like, but would just as soon skip it in general.

My hug objections are regarding people who either (1) I don't know/barely know/clearly and publicly don't like, or (2) come at me for a hug when I've indicated I don't want one, either verbally or by stepping away/keeping my arms by my side/holding a large item. Hug assaults from those people get the dead-fish-one-arm-side-arm-1-second-pat-pat-pat-step-FAR-back-quickly. The goddamn kink community assumes that EVERYONE wants Huggles Yay!!!, which is ridiculous, because I don't know or like 75% of the people at any given event. (I also LOATHE the word "huggles" about as much as I loathed George W. Bush.)

People I like get awesome hugs. I am squooshy and have a big bosom, and I am given to understand this is quite nice for a hug.

We had a family party with my Dad's side of the family last weekend, and I don't see them really often. My cousin's son (18-ish) is on the autism spectrum, and even though we spent a long time hanging out and talking about My Little Pony (he's a proud Brony) and movies in general (he loves movies passionately), when we left, he didn't really move for a hug, and it occurred to me that he might not like them, but also might not be able to read body language, so I asked him if he wanted a hug, and he said, "Yes, thank you. I like hugs!"

All hug interactions should be so clear and easy.
