So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Secretly winning at color co-ordination: my yellow bra matches the "kaboom"s on my wonder woman underwear AND the lettering of my "I am the kwisatch haderach" t-shirt

That sounds like winning to me!

And yeah, Suela, look around at credit unions again--here BECU is big--it used to be Boeing Employees Credit Union, but now anyone can join (or maybe just Washington residents, or something).

I have spent all the money at Target. But my house is looking really nice! I love the new dining room table I got last weekend from my ex-coworker. Worth the bruises and car rental and so on.

My mother is kinda whackadoodle sometimes, but not like flea's mom, dang!

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear, Consuela. May she find comfort.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Congrats Kat!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My head and sinuses were hurting and it just started raining. Add me to the human barometers.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Consuela, I'm so sorry. All good thoughts for your friend.

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

Oy flea, your mother!

I was just given the gift of the day to myself. It was lovely, and yet? Now the guilt weasels are crawling out from the corners.

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

Begone guilt weasels! Burrell does not need you.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and N said, "You are already married! You can't raise babies and NOT be married."

Oh, N, so adorable.

Congratulations on the being allowed to raise babies now!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I didn't know that CU's were for select populations. That was my very first bank account, set up by my dad, who worked at a computer company (now defunct, but the CU still exists and I still have that account). I'm not sure the logistics, but we once played with him loaning me money, and watched as he put a dollar into my savings account . . . and then took it back out.

And then I knew how they pillaged my allowance money when I was a kid.

'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"

CU's used to be restricted, but they've broadened the definition by a lot. Mine's changed names several times, but I've been with them for over 20 years.

Kat, congrats!

Heh on the cheetah taxi. Although, being an Uber driver means I don't have to drive like a bat out of hell. Efficiently yes, but I don't have to endanger your life in the name of getting the next fare started already.

It's hand-crafted artisanal driving, I tell my fares.
