Am I crazy to think that if I like this, [link] I should instead buy a cheap actual wood table off craigslist and paint it? I have seen one with the same basic shape for $50, but couldn't deal with transport. But it could be worth it to hire movers, depending.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He could go on his way thinking, "if only I had a pet iguana, that hot chick would talk to me."
Using chickbait means it's less likely that he'd think that.
ita, have you seen this? Maybe you posted it and I missed it? It's totally a link worthy of you.
It's sad how many things I'd read that fell into the same category before I got into fandom--before I got into my twenties, even. That's been a me link for thirty years...
I just got into the weirdest "we're so fucked!" IT argument outside the restrooms for twenty minutes. My GOD my foot hurts. Politically dodgy, plus my combatant wants to go for drinks with me now.
Another co-worker whose name I only just learnt thinks I'm a beautiful person inside and out and wants me to call her instead of getting up for stuff. I don't want to break her heart.
Kate, congrats! I've never pulled that off!
Now to go back to IO9 and see how someone combative responds to the "please never have this discussion with someone you give a fuck about, tho" gambit. ::sigh::

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
If he likes it there it sounds like a good plan.

Jesse, do zip car and whatnot have trucks where you are? I know they do here, my roommate used one (a pickup, not like a u-haul) to get iKEA stuff.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, would putting him in the bedroom with the door closed and the TV on work?
It would mute the barking, but I think it might increase the stress to be shut away from me and the people he wants to bark at.

We aren't still in hurricane season are we? Goodness. How ridiculous.
Yeah, and it's looking like there might be something happening around here this weekend, so.

Today's the day I hand my alley kittens over to their new owner. So of course they both became clingy (well, relatively) purr machines when I went home at lunch to check on them. I'm going to miss the affection even as I luxuriate in being able to sleep through the night and not have to scoop a litter box twice a day.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congratulations, Matt and Kittens!

FWIW, Ian-the-iguana-guy is hellaciously charming and smart. He's one of those guys who actually knows how to flirt in a respectful yet fun manner, so you might be surprised what could come of stopping to admire his little pet.

That's what I would do. I've seen postings on Craigslist that said they would deliver for mileage. You could ask the poster.
