One of the many lessons I learned from traveling with my parents (mostly my dad, tbh) for a couple of weeks is, Don't ask people questions to which they could not possibly have the answer.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Dear online reviewers:
Do not give a bag a 2-star rating because it's "smaller than I expected." It is not the bag's fault that you can't visualize the clearly stated dimensions.
Also useless: a 1-star review for "did not arrive in time for my trip."
While I'm at it, there's a special place in hell for people who give low reviews to books because 1) they arrived damaged 2) they took more than 2 days to arrive or 3) they "weren't what I expected."

Or 4-star reviews for something that they utterly disliked, didn't fit right, and wouldn't recommend. I always read the one-star reviews to see if it's an actual problem or just people being pissy.

The big fancy surge protector/external battery thing my work equipment is plugged into started sparking and smoking! It's out on the back porch now, maybe thinking about what it's done.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, that's enough with the fires, appliances!

I was going to go wash dishes, but I'm afraid that fire might shoot out of the faucet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Seriously, did we piss off Thor recently?
