Hmmmm. Maybe I'll put off cable cutting until HGTV gets more stream-y or I move. (No actual plans on the latter, yet.)
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Zen, I tried to remake your non-rhyming couplet into a haiku, but it did not work.
I got a brain-shaped stress ball at my last training thingy. I like squishing it on top of my head pretending that I can absorb its braininess.

I feel like I see those everywhere. Maybe I'm subconsciously looking for them.

I kind of regret that most booze tastes like ass to me.

Don't worry Zen, we've all been there. Take some deep breaths. Then you're going to need to go to some hardware stores and buy a large tarp, some concrete blocks, and some rope. Buy all the items individually at different stores and pay cash.
Then you're going to need to find a large body of water, preferably deep. Just scout out the location for now, you'll need to wait until dark (best around 1-3 am) before taking care of it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I called and spoke to a person about a personal trainer. I hate calling people I do not know, so I should be off for the rest of the day AND/OR should get ice cream with no caloric consequences.
MAKE IT SO!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm sorry, Zen. I wish there was something I could do to help.
I'm basically ready to step away from all media--social included--for the next few days. I already have 9/11 fatigue, and I don't need to see it replayed ad nauseum. I lived it; I sure as hell don't need people who were nowhere near it being all "Rah Rah 'Murica, those damn dirty Muslims," and posting the same pictures of NY and DC.
I understand the idea of shared trauma, and this event was a national tragedy, but the not-so-nice part of me is screaming inside, "You weren't there and you have no fucking clue." If I say this anywhere else but here, I will be flayed for it. So you are the lucky ones...
