There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

Can we please send all of these people to jail for depraved indifference to human life?

They ARE a danger to themselves and others.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Then there's the family in Michigan that shot and killed a guard who told them they needed to wear masks to go in the store - a Dollar Store?

edited to add: Yes, a Dollar Store in Michigan.

Good lord, seriously?

We just had a shelter in place within the shelter at home order (well, not me, the other end of town had a gas leak) so I guess the people who insisted on that wording are pretty pleased with themselves.

So, one of my urgent little fires at work this week is that I got a bunch of direct-to-consumer orders with PO Box shipping addresses that can't be delivered to for this customer (there are always a few but this week got a bunch because, well, decisions were made that are continuing to have repercussions and this is one of them) so I sent out the list and I've been getting emails back from the customer service reps that work for our customer with alternate addresses as the consumers get back to them and I am noticing that this is so much pleasanter than my other fires! We're all kind of working together, there are no veiled threats of non-payment, I get the satisfaction of actually fixing something, it's nice!

Sweet when things work out this way!

Things going super quick with kids house purchase. Inspection is Friday, and since they are all pre-approved and stuff they could get in there in a couple weeks. Craziness.

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

Timelies all!

Gary ordered some cloth masks online, and we have gotten them already. I had to pick up a couple of things at the supermarket, so I grabbed one. Seems to work fine.

Dang.

So it's Cinco de Mayo on Taco Tuesday and my dinner is gonna be hummus and crackers. That's just how it goes sometimes. But I guess I could have some tequila and pineapple juice, that sounds kinda tasty. Does that combo have a name?
