I have not been as productive as msbelle, but I did find some screws that were the right size to fix our dining chairs with loose leg supports, and I fixed the mistake our kitchen contractors made when they put the thermostat back on the wall. (It's hard to describe, but basically there are three pieces that all snap together, and two of them are supposed to be attached to the wall so you can pull the faceplate off and see where all the wires are connected. They didn't screw the middle piece to the wall so it was coming off with the faceplate which makes it really hard to troubleshoot when the thing throws error messages. So I had to pry those two pieces apart and screw the middle piece into the baseplate where it belongs.)
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Amazing dry cleaner update: the guy who used to work there called my mother, and he has her tablecloth! Apparently he liberated it? So she can go pick it up at his new job.
Wow. That's a surprise from left field.
Don't pull all your teeth out, Sophia! Let's just fix the one.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm with Hec on this one, Sophia. For future reference, the tannins in tea are supposed to help with tooth pain. You can stuff a tea bag in your cheek next to the hurty tooth.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've heard that about tea bags as well but I've never tried it

Crazy but kinda great story about the tablecloth, Jesse

That's bizarre about the tablecloth! But maybe a way to get business for the new place?
I did my taxes this morning and then got sucked into some genealogy research. And then bought a birth certificate for the wrong person. My grandfathers name was way too common. Oops.
Then I picked up my car and paid $1700 for various work and new tires, and she was like "was the check engine light on when you brought it in?" It was not. But it is now! Grrrr.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it was literally just him being a nice person.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My hair is blue and purple and green again. Took forever, which reminds me why I didn't think I'd do it again after the first time. It does look awfully cool, though.

hey, here's a novel thought kiddo. Do what I tell you. Be home when I tell you to be home and stop arguing about it. You do not have to spend every weekend at a friend's house. You are not their kid to feed and deal with. Enjoy no wireless tomorrow. < / RANT>
