And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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

Tomorrow is my last day of partial hospitalization. I'm so relieved. I think my brain is healing, though the state of my gardens might suggest otherwise. I'm off for another two weeks so I'm gonna crash here with you guys for awhile if it's ok.

And you're gonna show off your house to me and we'll compare oh fuck DIY moments!

Kristen decided she doesn't like the counter tops. I'm dying a little inside.

Pull up a comfy chair.

My immersion blender worked fine the last time I used it. Tonight I made soup and when I went to blend it, the immersion blender made a buzzing noise and started smoking. I've blown blenders from trying to blend too much stuff; this is the first time one has died from blending nothing.

Doesn't like as in "can live with, but not fav" or "HATE WITH FLAMING SUNS"?

This is why my paint is the same. That and all the plaster repair needed.

They started to bow a bit. So I understand. But we sanded and stained them and they look so pretty to me that I can't stand the thought of replacing them.

My hair dryer blew up a week or two ago. Not even the heater with resistor part- the cord too bendied or something and shorted, complete with flaming shooting sparks that marked my robe permanently.

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

ita, sorry you're hurting. I hope this all works out for you. But it's very good to see your pixels.

Allyson, I'm glad your brain is healing, and I hope you can overcome the devastation of Kristen's rejection of your lovely countertops.

Our turnaround time is 48 hours for proofs. Not 48 hours of a M-F work week; 48 hours. We assume that authors may have to review their article in their down time. We have tight deadlines.

Us too. 48 hours, no guarantees when. I try to build in more time, but I can't always. We publish 52 journals; I handle two of them and might be editing articles for six or seven others at any time as needed. I aim for perfection, but I don't always achieve it.

Uhg, hate structural failure. And I get it. I don't know if it is a side effect of replacing a portion of wall and it turning out pretty good or what, but now I'm hyper aware of all the shitty spots. Like all the walls around my mantle. Uhg.
