You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Pretty much sitting in a multihours long path of thunderstorms.

If they're the ones we had this morning, they're a doozy.

Love,
Ohio

There was a window, but I missed it. Damned me not being a perfect meteorologist.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, New Englandish people, I have a friend who will be driving from VA to Maine next week, unfortunately because her mother has gone into hospice. She's looking for a couch to crash on to break up the trip, so she doesn't have to do the whole 12 hours in a day, and she can't afford a hotel. Anyone in the NY area who could help? Or in the CT area?

I vouch for her absolutely -- known her almost 20 years. She'll be very low maintenance and grateful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm only a couple of hours out of Portland, but do have a spare room, if she's OK with cats.

ION, I solicited submissions for the Good Stuff, and of course someone immediately submitted something I don't want to post! (That Make-a-wish garbage truck kid. I'm randomly anti Make-a-wish.)

I think that's probably close enough to her destination that she'd just keep going, but I'll check with her. Thanks, Jesse.

Yeah, she really would rather have something New York-ish.

Ok, this is a traditional military rallying speech, but between it and the USA chants, I find it kinda unsettling. Not my kind of thing. OTOH, hits another base.

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

Yeah, it's not really my thing either, but if it gets Republicans and Independents to vote Clinton over Trump, it's worth it.

Yep, just registering my discomfort. I get nervous around any sort of mass think. And now the Pumpk needs her face rubbed. This tyranny, I'll bow to.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to question you.
