Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can you talk to his manager? Damn, that would really piss me off too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think he is THE manager. It's a small shop.

I hear a power tool downstairs, so I'm hoping he can do his fucking job and put the washer back together. I'm resisting the urge to tell him this is a learning experience.

My mom just told me that she found a bunch of savings bonds that people gave me for my bat mitzvah that she had forgotten about. So I'm now $1400 richer, and also wondering what else is just sitting around somewhere.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I like lamb, though I tend to have it in forms that are mixed with something else. Never had goat. Have had a few buffalo burgers.

Love lamb, love buffalo, love moose. Cannot eat goat, but will happily nom on all forms of goat dairy - goat milk, yoghurt, cheese, butter - all good. (Which is good, because cow milk and I do not get along any more.) The goat milk from TJ's is very good, very mild. Much tastier than almond milk.

Seriously love lamb, though. M and I cook it more often than we cook beef.

I searched my last name at that link, and got one hit for my father, one for my mother, and one for a cousin who died several years ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I tried the unclaimed property thing and it was a MASSIVE pain - I don't know how much money I'm missing, but it's a dividend in my mother's name, listed under an address I had ten years ago. (So in order to claim it, I would need to prove that my mother lived at that address. Which, since she didn't, is not really all that possible.)

I really like lamb when it's fixed right (usually by Middle Eastern restaurants or me), but it's a lot easier to do badly than beef, so I'm hesitant to order it out at most places.

Oh, me too (I have the same issue with salmon, as well). But it's so tasty when grilled at home.

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

"How much is a new Touch? My version won't run iOS 5." "Mine runs 6, and we have the same one...what error message do you get when you try and update it?" "How do you update it?" "Attached to iTunes?" "I don't attach it to iTunes."

Okay, I can talk you through that, but what it comes down to is that she hadn't noticed the up arrow was the eject symbol, so she was never getting to the screen where all the magic happens. How clear is that to unexpecting eyes on a laptop cranked up to highest res? I see it because I know it.
