Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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

Sophia that fridge is so pretty! Maybe you could hire a local moving company to get it up the stairs? I'm surprised Home Depot doesn't offer that as a service.

Maybe having a climb cart on hand would be a good idea in general, though, since you have stairs that you'll want to get stuff up and down in the future.

Re: sloped bathroom floor with drain - that sounds amazing but I just wish my bathtub drain was actually the lowest point of the tub

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

But we have so goddamn much clutter that a cleaner wouldn't be able to do much. Although I suppose I could just tell them "Hey, I just need you to clean the bathroom, kitchen, and baseboards that are accessible. Take my money!"

Absolutely you can tell them that!

She is TOUGH.

She is! But I still seriously question her priorities.

'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 pretty sure most professional appliance stores will either throw in 'delivery and setup' or charge a reasonable fee to get it in and get the old one out -- it worked that way with my old TV, since the giant tube took two big guys to carry out!

I once observed with my stubborn mother who was resisting the need to see a doctor for Something Very Serious that as you get older, 'stubborn' stops being an absolutely good survival trait and into something that gets you killed.

Sounds like Trump is going through his own health woes (sharp-eyed observers have noticed that suddenly the White House doctor is accompanying him on ALL trips) and I can only hope his usual wise decision-making process that has produced the clown car of an administration goes a long ways towards following wise medical advice.

Sophia, that fridge is gorgeous.

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

Doesn't your apartment come with a refrigerator? That seems like something that a landlord would supply.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm pretty sure most professional appliance stores will either throw in 'delivery and setup' or charge a reasonable fee to get it in and get the old one out.

This. In the last couple of years I've replaced my refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher, and all three were removed by the same guys who delivered the new ones.

Le Pavillon does not use half measures when it comes to handicap accessibility!

I've stayed there. Very swanky. A coworker's room wasn't ready so they put her in the presidential suite for the first night. Even swankier.
