also re: knitting--if you have nice discount places like Til Tuesday, check in there. I picked up some silk/cotton yarn for a third of what the yarn store would ask.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Home or work?
Me? Home. We have a tiny glassed-in front porch that I think would be just fine with some bats and stuff on it. But then also should I try to carve a pumpkin elaborately?
My department is basically falling apart. The big boss just came and grabbed me as a senior person to make a decision, because he couldn't find anyone else and he's trapped in a huge project. It had literally nothing to do with my job or areas of expertise, but dammit, I made that decision!

Sewer tomatoes: [link] Just awesome. I guess you feed them to ninja turtles?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's a C.H.U.D. garden.

Or CHUD who like a side dish.
Ooh, glassed-n porch with bats, yes! And I say go for the pumpkin with the caveat that if you don't like it or whatever you can just compost it. Or eat it. Whatever.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't have a plausible explanation for coworkers as to where I have been for a month. Advice?

Allyson - undefined health scare that you don't really want to talk about? When DH went into rehab he came up with an elaborate story to tell his co-workers, some rare syndrome needing a hyperbaric chamber or something. That always struck me as way more effort than he needed to put into it. It's not really anyone's business.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't have a plausible explanation for coworkers as to where I have been for a month. Advice?
It's none of their damn business.
I say word it like this, "Thank you for your concern. I had some private health issues."
I would just lean on the private and hope that they are clueful enough to understand that's a Do Not Enter sign conversationally.

Yeah, I feel like "medical leave" with a flat stare should be enough for anyone. "Yes, thank you, I'm feeling much better."
