Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My grocery stores both carry very good unsweetened iced tea in bottles of about 35-40 ounces. Spendier than tea bags, but good in a pinch.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm currently stuck in the middle of a discussion going something like this:
Partner: "I want someone to do x"
My boss: "x is not a library thing. Firm policy says so."
Partner: "but X doesn't cost much, and I want someone to do it and if I say it often enough, maybe the library will do it"

It kind of makes me miss yesterday's first question:

James L. (perhaps Lee?) [common last name]

Born in the 1800’s. Trying to see if we can track down social security number. He’s long dead.

Because books.

AWESOME. Wow, I hope his name was Smith.

Not quite Smith levels of common, but close.

Of course, SSNs didn't exist until the 1930s.

Oh, Lee. I can only shake my head.

(It took me forever to realize that's what SMH stood for.)

It took me a moment to realize you weren't talking about the Sydney Morning Herald.

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

I spent a lot of Sarah Michelle Huh-huh? time with that at first.
