Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Stupid evil IBS means oatmeal for dinner. I'm trying to decide whether or not to make savory oatmeal.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ION, Ply has been renamed to "Bridge Troll". She demands payment of scritchies every time I pass her. Going so far as to plant herself right against the door to the outside. I got so fed up with her dispondancy that I grabbed her, flopped on the bed, and plopped her on my chest and gave her so many scritchies I'm surprised she didn't start chafing. Then we fell asleep.

Yet, she still demands attention every time I walk past her (and by demand, I mean she sits in the middle of whatever room with her shoulders turned towards me. It's plain as day to me what she wants).

So I've made it my new task to pay the scritchie toll every time I pass her. She seems to be happier, and I feel bad that I've apparently been neglecting her affections. I just wish she wasn't so passive about it and would initiate joining me on the bed or the couch.

'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"

Anybody remember Esprit? I only just recently gave away an Esprit dress shirt that I was forced to admit isn't likely to fit again.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It was all the rage my last two years of high school to use an Esprit bag instead of your locker.

Punishingly Intricate

I went to college with the son of Benetton and the daughter of Esprit! (in the 80s, though)

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

I am shocked and sad about Lee Thompson Young. I haven't seen him in much (although IMDB is reminding me of a few roles I had forgotten) but he has stood out in what I have seen. Easily my favorite character on R&I.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Okay, I keep getting email updates to a subscription that I apparently have to Minecraft. Except, I' not subscribed to any minecraft feeds. I did, once, search on minecraft, because it kept coming up in stuff I was reading and had no idea what it was. And now, when I log into my YT account, there's nothing in my subscritions about MC, yet I still keep getting emails.

Maybe this is a tech thread question?

Because books.

Esprit! Esprit, Bennetton, and French Connection were huge when I was in high school. Oh, and Gunne Sax for prom. And LeSportSac for bags.

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

I owned the most Swatches. It was kinda stupid.

We carried those big esprit bags with all our books because it was near impossible to get into your locker between classes. Once I started driving, I kept the books for the second half of the day in the car. Pretty sure we all had back issues.

ION, if I make it to friday morning without a meltdown, I'll be shocked. I have so much that needs to get done PLUS I'm taking care of 2 cat households other than my own. Took out 3 households trash. I think I can offload one set of cats, but not the special needs kitties. It's an emergency situation, so I don't begrudge that, the timing is just bad. But Pat called me from the hospital today, and really? The timing doesn't matter in the grand scheme.

Troy (SN kitty) was so sweet and ate half hit food and was still chowing down when I left. I think he might boredom eat, because Pat warned me I might have to encourage him to eat, but I didn't have that problem at all once I gave him plenty of love. He's probably all 'I have no one to pet me, might as well eat." And I actually saw Teeka! She fled after a couple minutes, though.

OK, updating cat instructions for MY guys.
