Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Change in plans. Erin has offered to take a look at some apartments I'm interested in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's some whiplash --

Great news, tommyrot!

And really awful news, Consuela. I'm so, so sorry for your family.

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 so sorry, Consuela. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Consuela, I'm so sorry!

Shit Suela, that is so awful! So sorry for you and yours. :(

Separate topic:

So yesterday I heard this noise and was confused, couldn't tell where it was coming from. Ran up and down stairs, figured out it sounded like water rushing...oh shit, I thought, has my water heater suddenly given up the ghost and flooded my garage? I opened the door from the house to the garage fully expecting to see a garage flowing with water out into the alley. But no! Confused, I opened the garage door to the alley..and saw my outdoor faucet fully on and rushing water. Wtf? Some weirdo unscrewed the hose that was on there, and then just...left the water on. So now I'm searching faucet locks on Amazon. Grr.

I'm so sorry, Consuela. That is so difficult.

We went to 3rd grade open house today to meet the teacher. She seems friendly enough so here's hoping she can actually teach.
