If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That sounds like a decent option, hopefully.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Our movers have "respectfully declined" to pay for our missing vacuum that didn't arrive here with the rest of the household goods.

We're going to have a respectful conversation about that tomorrow.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Raining here. There had been some talk of "wintry mix" tomorrow, but I'll wait and see on that.

"Wintry mix" sounds like it should come with more peanuts.

a guy made a colored ice fort in his yard during the cold snap

That is super cool (npi) and pretty.

Seriously, if you have a mandoline, the prep takes ten minutes, and a couple of weeks later you have sauerkraut.

I don't have one, but I can deal, because I will start small.

Started out super stressed this morning, and it has eased with each passing couple of hours. I think some tea when I get home, and I'll be good. Lots of other stuff would work, too, but tea is what I've got.

Suzi, good options. That 3 hours of free movers thing is awesome.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Our movers have "respectfully declined" to pay for our missing vacuum that didn't arrive here with the rest of the household goods.

WTF? How is that optional?

A friend offered to watch the kids this afternoon, thus allowing me to get some much needed work finished. phew!

They say that we can't prove that it didn't arrive. I hope it's just an opening salvo, and they assume that most people won't fight back.

...can't prove it didn't arrive? Wtf, they think you are just randomly wanting a new vacuum and pinning it on them??
