We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Reports are now coming in that the shooter was a member of a violent white supremacist group as well.

I have no suggestions, only sadness.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"

That's weird...there's a guy on *my* NextDoor group about a month ago who brought up a huge debate on the same topic!

Guys, we looked at a house with a pool last night. I loved it, but $1K a year for pool maintenance...does this seem accurate, pool people? It covers opening and closing the pool, all chemicals snd maintenance. I'd just have to skim, check Ph and add chems when needed. I pay $200/summer for a family membership at our local pool, but I'd live in the pool all summer and have friends with kids over a ton. It's got an amazing deck, a covered porch, and the house itself is great.

I need to make a practical, informed decision, even though my knee-jerk is FUCK YES GIMME THE WATER.

Our wings are not tired

That's less than $100/month, it doesn't seem out of line to me.

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

I was told to expect more like $10k a year for a pool down here when we were looking to buy. Major reason we do not have a pool.

Our wings are not tired.

Here it is generally $90-100 a month for pool maintenance.

I napped much of the day. Emotionally exhausted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I do worry about the world Mr. S is growing up in.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That seems reasonable to me, Strix, for all the use and joy you'd get from having it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it is probably worth it for you, Strix, but I also think our representatives from Los Angeles and Florida aren't considering that you aren't using the pool 12 months where you are!

That's weird...there's a guy on *my* NextDoor group about a month ago who brought up a huge debate on the same topic!

It must be going around the internet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can we pass a law that lets me punch Paul Ryan? I know I could get solid bipartisan support for Ted Cruz, but might as well start with something more challenging.

Seconded.
