'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
{totally what came to my mind, msbelle}
Talked to my mom and she has picked up whatever bug is going around. I am not, of course, happy that my mother is sick but I am a little relieved that the one thing I had on my plate for tomorrow (meeting up for my folks for get exchange etc.) is cancelled. I am still going to try to get to the post office or UPS store and ship of my siblings' packages, but that is not as big a deal.
The other two urgent care facilities are 25 and 32 miles away.
Tom, I really like Warby Parker. There are three locations, I think, in New York: Greene Street between Prince and Houston, Lexington at 82nd and 819 Washington Street. Their sunglasses are, I think, $95 for regular sunglasses and $150 for single vision.
I just went into a cold sweat and my fever dropped a degree. Maybe I'm not going to die.
Thank god.
Well, I hope the fever breaks and you get some sleep tonight, at least. Dang.
Oh no, Ginger! I hope you feel better in the morning.
Feel better, sickies!
Etiquette question: if you see someone posting on FB about how they're super sick, like Death Cold x1,000, and then they say how they can't wait for tomorrow's Christmas party to which you've both been invited, do you punch them really hard, or does etiquette dictate you kick them in the knee?
I would ask if there will be an isolation ward at the party and tag the offenders.
Is there any good reason why I shouldn't charge my landlord for the time I spent cleaning up after the plumber? Every damn thing in the lower cabinets is splattered with nastiness.
Ew.
Sounds reasonable to me, but I've never charged a landlord except by prior agreement.
Is Kat here, or anyone who can answer Hawaii questions? I am reading a fic with a lot of white people talking like native Hawaiians, and calling mainlanders haole. I thought all white people in Hawaii were haole, though. Is this a "brother from another mother" situation?
We were all definitely haoles, not just the mainlanders. But I can only account for the 1970s, when I was a kid living in Hilo. And in the 70s Hilo for an elementary kid it was clear that haole could be a term of endearment just as readily as a perjorative. It all depended on who was speaking and the tone used. All of my neighbors were aunties and uncles (none white) and they all referred to me as "our haole Nani" (Nani was my childhood nickname, and it roughly translated to "beautiful whitey" together like that, so it always got a laugh).
