We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

They won't replace the lock? Can they give you a new key? It ought to be really easy to get a new key made! Or to call a locksmith. Geez.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

They will replace, but the person coming won't be able to do it and they want my alarms fix

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

I posted in Press about the gift exchange, are people interested in doing it this year?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I can't. The holidays are too overwhelming and too expensive for me, but thank you for keeping the tradition going, msbelle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

And everything just makes me so angry. And my old boss so angry. So we are just two very angry people who are Horton hears a Whoing it, pointing at an obvious problem that no one else wants to see.

I feel like my work must be adjacent to yours, and I feel you and your old boss, and I love "Horton hears a Whoing it."

Thing I was thinking about for the exchange this year:

- ornament exchange 1 ornament only.

- book exchange, nothing new

- music exchange via Dropbox or similar

- Etsy or other online marketplace only for purchases, must find a seller near your giftee

- no exchange, instead choose a project as a group and make donations (possibly donors choose or a direct support need, or bail fund)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

no exchange, instead choose a project as a group and make donations (possibly donors choose or a direct support need, or bail fund)

I would definitely be in for this, because it's easy for me to send money, whereas shopping and then getting my butt to the post office is a task that gets disproportionately hard during the holidays.

Our wings are not tired.

I like either the ornament or group project ideas.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

May I offer a public service announcement? Don't drink and dance.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I would be up to an alternate exchange that doesn't require a visit to the post office.
