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

Re: sending nail polish through USPS (as discussed in Press briefly) --
As per USPS guidelines:
Examples of items that may be mailable but have specific restrictions…
Nail polish is on the list.
451.3
A2. Packaging and Marking: Screw caps with a minimum of one and one–half turns, soldering clips, or other effective means must be used to ensure a secure closure.
A3. Glass and other breakable containers more than 4 fluid ounces and any containers over 32 fluid ounces must be cushioned within a sealed, waterproof container such as a can or a plastic bag, and must be packed within a strong and securely sealed outer packaging.
So it looks like nail polish CAN be mailed, as long as appropriate precautions are taken.
FYI.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just lied flat out and said no when the postal employee asked me if I was mailing anything liquid, flammable, etc.

IIRC, when I got The Box, nothing had leaked, and everything was done up in Zip-loc bags and bubble-wrap anyway.

Oh, ffs, looks like I'll be on my fourth? Fifth? French press this year. I don't know what changed this year, but I'm breaking them with alarming frequency. Time to go stainless, I guess.
Plaster is dry! Will start sanding! As soon as I finish my coffee.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Lexan is also an option. I have a couple of plastic french presses, they're fine. (I just took a look at our Bonjour french presses and the only all stainless steel is $80! I'm sure I didn't pay anything like that much for the one I have)
It's raining!

We had All the Rain here yesterday, plus a couple of small tornadoes.

No joke, about 75% of the time we go grocery shopping, it rains on us (which is annoying, because getting all the grocery bags wet and hauling them in sucks). So I have this idea that we should hire ourselves out to the state of California, and we'll just drive around the state, getting groceries in every town and thus causing it to rain. We'll be hailed as goddamn heroes.

Did the airport close? Early in the day yesterday, I read a news story that Holy Shit Bad Weather No We Mean BAD Weather was going to slam the southeast, and it mentioned that Hartsfield might close/cancel all the flights.
