You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't remember the other one I've seen recently, but this Star Trek customer service log is pretty good: [link]

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, JZ, you doll. Everyone local I know is broke. I posted in case some Buffistas know anyone with disposable income. (It was hard for me to post since my mom got it for me, and I am shamesles, but horribly sentimental, but needs must...)

The laptop FUBAR was my first, at the worst possible time. THAT DARNED CAT!!!

I've had good results selling "luxury goods" on eBay, for what that's worth.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Is that construction used anywhere else? I never saw it until I moved here, and I was told that it's a western PA thing.

I had more than one co-worker in NE Indiana who used it. It bugged me a little, but I've since heard it coming out of my own mouth. I prefer "needs verb-ing"

Kate, if you're ever looking for a higher-level Cumberbatch-y gift, you might try acquiring video that is not available in the US for her, possibly including Fortysomething (where he plays Hugh Laurie's son), the Stephen Hawing movie he was in, and/pr Third Star (which, kleenex warning). When I went looking, there weren't US DVDs, though that may have changed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Heard back from mechanic, alternator needs replacings, and the car should be available later today!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

well, this isn't a Pallas Cat, but I think it's funny ... maybe mean, but funny.

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

The grumpy cat article has been modified to say the amount is false.

I sympathise with the aching buffistas. My job rides on a drop of pee and how they react to medical documentation. I hear today, and I can't calm down.

And I need a dilaudid day tomorrow whether I start work Thursday or not.

I'm a broke bundle of anxiety.

Ornerous Task 1 - complete. Contacted the photographer and CJ's senior pictures are FINALLY available to be picked up. It has been months. Of course, I don't have frames for them yet - might pick them up and stash them in my room until I have frames.

Ornerous Task 2 - Need to call the doctor's office to schedule an appointment.

Ornerous Task 3 - I have a meeting of the parent support unit for CJ's search and rescue team. After all the work on the auction, I'm still kinda burnt out. But I'm a co-chair and missed last month's meeting, so I need to be there and get with the planning for next week's family holiday party. Don't wanna.

Ok, phone call time. Why does that kick off my anxiety.

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

I hope they are reasonable, ita. Medical needs are medical needs.

I think I need a second cup of coffee. I have gotten myself into one of those cycles where I need coffee to get through the morning because I had trouble getting to sleep the night before, probably because of having too much coffee the previous morning. And I was doing so well cutting back for a while there. A goal better suited to after solstice, I suppose.

Onerous 2 - done-ish. First available appt is on the 19th. The appointment gal sent a message to my doc about getting me in earlier and/or getting labs drawn soon. I hate feeling like this. I don't want to leave the house, I just want to curl up in a ball.
