That's awesome, Matt!!

I just had a person come to give an estimate on astroturfing my side yard. Apparently it's below their $3k minimum, but I could just pay the minimum, or they could add in some nice stairs for me in the part between my patio and the side (currently it's some flattish boulders—doable but not super easy or nice in the rain) and it would be $3500. Or I could try to do it on my own/with friends (the putting down gravel, compacting, adding astroturf and sand and nailing to the ground, not the creating steps part). It seems fairly simple but that involves organizing friends and gathering all the supplies and hoping it doesn't look too bad.

Matt, having worked in the textbook biz for quite a while, I have a good idea just how important that 'adoption' by TX is!

I'm currently assembling an office chair and it is not going well. I put the back in wrong so the tension controls don't work, and now I can't figure out how to get the back OFF so I can put it in correctly. So now I'm peering at instructions online.

hivemind question.

I have looked and cannot find a match, but thought you all might have some insight. I have a friend whose pic on FB is now what looks like section of a flag with 3 stripes. They are from top to bottom Green/Purple/Yellow. Friends pronouns are E/Em/Eir and name has gone from Daniel to Dan to Dani in the last couple of years. Dani is married to a gay man. I have always know Dani as a gay man.

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

Congrats, Matt!

Oh, no, shrift. Good luck

I have my last furlough day tomorrow (using vacation time so I will get paid). I need to go grocery shopping, and I should definitely do yard work. Hopefully I will not sleep all day. Again.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

They are from top to bottom Green/Purple/Yellow.

I think that's a Pride flag for trigender.

I guess I'll wait until their help line opens up tomorrow to call and ask what the hell I'm supposed to do now.
