It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I'm with -t and Steph on the "no problem" non-problem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same, obviously.

And none of us are millennials!! Amazing.

No problem is only a problem for vampires. They can no longer trick people into letting them through doors through minor acts of politeness.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Feel better, feverish/tired buffistas!

I got so mad after hearing an update from a friend who cancelled her wedding, over said reasons for cancellation. I am still mad and would like to set things (especially her ex) on fire. So that was not a productive day of work and school stuff.

And politics has been more depressing than usual. For those who haven't heard about this yet, Israel has serious information security and information validity issues. Evidence 1: [link] Evidence 2: [link]

So yay.

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

We have to use the double negative as in "ltc is not not sick" to refer to ltc when she is sick or she will start shouting at us that she's not sick.

Our wings are not tired.

And politics has been more depressing than usual.

It seems to be a real competition over which country has the worst dumpster fire for government. It is very depressing.

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

Generally I have to give America the edge on this question, but our govt has been trying to underscore its claims lately with actual fire, so there's something.

'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"

Note for history: Trump has been pardoning corrupt government officials and businessmen this week.

Well of course. He was sacking honest government officials last week. You need to keep these things in balance.

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

Timelies all!
