She got a stainless steel French press to me. Which I promptly put a ding in, proving I needed stainless steel.

Spent the first 3/4 of the day firefighting and slapping hands. Spent last quarter explaining institutionalized racism in Baltimore to my so very white guy new officemate, recently from NYC burbs. I'm sorry, your description of the "safe" L is the white L and there are ugly reasons for that, and dismissing the black butterfly means ugly things too, so let me tell you.

I don't think he was expecting that from a 40something white lady in makeup with expensive shoes, but he listened politely. And he's only in 2 days a week at most.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How can McMullin become president if he only wins one state?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If none of the candidates gets a majority of electoral votes, it goes to the House, which chooses among the top three candidates. The House has a Republican majority, most of whom don't like Trump or Clinton, and the Utah guy is a pretty standard conservative.

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

This is dangerous intel, -t. Very dangerous.

I trust you to know your limits, esse.

Our wings are not tired.

He's not going to win. The brainiacs told me so. [link] Also, I am back home finally so I can vote tomorrow, personally guaranteeing a Clinton win in Florida.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Let me know if you want me to hook you up with a stainless steel pan, our outlet sale is starting soon.

Ooooh! I should replace my small, scratched up non-stick.

I am back home finally so I can vote tomorrow, personally guaranteeing a Clinton win in Florida.

The power of Laura is mighty!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm presently parked at my mechanic garage, hoping they're working today. CHECK ENGINE light came on during my first ride this morning.

If I didn't have a job to do, a cat to feed, and a modicum of respect for my liver, I would spend the next 11 days toasted.

Good luck with the car stuff, Theodosia.
