This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen tries to convince other kids to watch movies based on the film's Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

I am not quite freaking yet but I fear for folks like the Fleas. I just don't want Obama to risk 230 years' of democratic principles because of the crazed actions of a tiny, insane minority.

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

DO people have recs on new gps?

If you have a smartphone, Waze is the way to go.

If you want a dedicated device, I used to love my TomTom until I started using Waze. (TomTom still has a better display - the 3D view with lane guidance is better than any app I've seen - but it gives shitty directions. So Waze is better for city driving.)

Uhg, I epoxxied a fridge drawer and forgot how much epoxxy stinks. And too warm and muggy outside to open up the windows.

Today was a pain. Truly. Nothing would touch it.

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

Welp, that's the end of last year's Halloween candy. That's almost like an accomplishment.

I don't know from GPSs.

The government shutdown is too big for me to hold in my head.

I would like a drink now, but I'm afraid that would be the end of me being awake. Maybe that would be okay? Probably I should stay up until it gets dark, at least...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also got 33/36 on the Reading Emotions quiz. I'm a little surprised.

I liked my new TomTom better than my old Garmin. I'd still rather use a standalone GPS than the one on my smartphone if I can, solely because it runs down the battery so fast.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Today turned out to be so miserable, but now I have about 17 bags full of Halloween decorations to sort through so they can go up tomorrow. That should be super cheery, right?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

How do either of the means I mentioned to get around the debt ceiling "risk 230 years of democratic principle." They are actions the executive is authorized to do by laws the congress has passed. They are for a goal the majority of the people, the majority of the senate, and even the majority of the congress supports. (If a "clean" CR and a "clean" raise in the debt ceiling were brought to the floor of the House they would pass. ) And they are completely legal. They are a creative solution to a small minority violating all sorts of legislative norms. (Holding the budget hostage violates norms. Holding the debt ceiling hostage violates major norms.)

I don't see how meeting massive violation of norms with creative but completely workable workarounds "risks democracy".
