Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I take it the car doesn't drive anymore? Because yeah, if you can't donate it, I'd sell for salvage

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It can't be driven, and the quote for repairs we got from the mechanic was about twice the KBB value. I haven't done the research yet if there's an earth-friendly way to get rid of a car, other than salvage. (Damnit, the battery's less than two years old!! It had less than 90k miles!!)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh no. So sorry. And most importantly glad everyone is safe.

Our wings are not tired.

Sorry, Jess. I have sold for salvage several vehicles. In theory I could have donated for reef buildup or something, but I just took the $500 in hand. 3 were vehicles wrecked by one kid! Ah, parenting.

We sold our dead car for salvage (it threw a rod). We got like $300, but.

We donated 2 cars that weren't drivable and took the tax write-off (and didn't have to deal with getting the cars anywhere). My car was only a couple of hundred but we wrote off Bob's car for a fair bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh ugh, Jess.

ION, my mother went to some anti-racism conference, and ended up sitting next to - and doing a breakout activity with - Peggy McIntosh!

it's a sweatshirt dress with a hood and pockets and extra-long sleeves that I plan to live in this fall (if it fits).

I can't find this on eShakti (their filtering and search are pretty terrible, evidently) and I am really intrigued. It sounds right up my alley workwear-wise. Linky???

Stuff on eShakti goes out of stock all the time, sadly. I usually post here about a dress, think about it for a few days, dither, forget, and then it's gone.
