Fwiw, I haven't had a land line in about 10 years and my husband works from home and we have no issues. (But if I still had the land line from when I was a kid I'd consider keeping it because I'm sentimental like that.)
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Burrell, I don't get why you can't cancel it.
Ah ha ha ha! So turns out we got pretty far along on the plan to switch to cell phone, but then AT&T anticipated our every feint. They were all "no go" until finally the gal helping Cody said something like "I think your best bet is AT&T Go, but they'll charge you an extra $50 for that."

Me: Not for another several years. Trust me.
Heh. When I got Emmett to watch it (pitching it as "a cross between Breaking Bad and Lord of the Rings!") I had him review the things he's most repulsed and freaked out by.
Me: So, it's a really good show and you'll like it BUT it does have some disturbing elements. Remind of the four things that freak you out.
Emmett: Zombies, pedophilia, incest and necrophilia.
Me: Okay, it's got three of those. Not so much necrophilia but you never know.

I feel this, too. I really thought that working from home would make it *easier* to get to the gym than when I worked in an office, because I can (in theory) go anytime. But instead, I Just. Keep. Working. and then it's too late/I'm too hungry/whatever.
Yes, all of the above. I often find it oddly easier to work out while traveling. But at the same time, so very glad to not have a commute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
JFC, you guys -- the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade finally let some gay groups march this year.... so the Knights of Columbus are staying home to pray instead.

In other acronym-worth news, OMG and WTF, I'm 90% sure I just saw a skunk going under my porch. Which does explain why I thought I smelled skunk spray one night, and also the animal poop in the driveway that looked too big for a cat. But now what?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Send the skunk to the Knights of Columbus?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
You need a porch cat like Nanita's.

Also that's awesome about the parade.

An excellent idea! Because they are stinkers.
