Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yipes Tom, that's a lot of snow!

I unfucked up my back in the pool, but another round of hauling boxes and its fucked up again. Crawling. Movers are doing their thing, nothing left for me but to be in the way, so I'm home, waiting until they are done to come over and crash.

For their sake, I really hope they get out ahead of the worst of the storm. They're driving a 26' truck, towing her car on a platform.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Meep! sarameg, that sounds like a scary drive. Sorry your back is re-fucked up; they are such bothersome and persnickety body parts.

meara, I saw the pictures. A gorgeous table, indeed.

I hope the storm isn't as bad as they are predicting. Stay safe, everyone!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

NY can blame my employer for the impending storm. We're loading The Iceman Cometh into BAM this week.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Hey smonster, & anyone else who has experience with SI belts, what kind of tightness should I be going for? This query brought to you by my SI belt, which giveth me relief from my stupid compressed rolling hip etc but taketh away any loveliness of an hourglass profile.

meara, I saw the pictures. A gorgeous table, indeed.

It's very nice! And heavy as hell. She gave it to me for free, and I figure even with the like, $30 that the ferry cost, plus the $70 or so that the zipvan cost, it's still less than I would've paid for it on Craigslist or something. And I'd been meaning to get rid of my dining room table for ages, but since it was totally functional, just not the color/style I liked, it was way down on my list. And now I'm like "ooh. I should get an entry mirror, and maybe a corkboard or dry erase, and and like, DECORATE..."

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

should I be worried about this? I just turned off a light and the light switch went bzzt and threw a spark. This has never happened before. Do I need to call an electrician?

Kat, which track do you use?

CV. It's super nice and not crowded on a Sunday.

should I be worried about this?

Some concern may be warranted. If it was me, I'd unscrew the light switch and see if there was a bare wire.

Switch in a lamp or a wall switch? Either way you should look at it, but if you rock a wall switch slowly enough you could cause an arc.
