Timelies all!
We have Caller ID, so we don't answer if we don't recognize the number. Sometimes it even says Spam? before the ID.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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

In not spam news, thanks to USPS informed delivery, I'm now impatiently waiting for my mail to be delivered so I can find out why the IRS is sending me a letter.
I'm trying not to catastrophize until I read the damn thing, so I've limited myself to a few minutes of freaking out and getting my tax returns handy.

I get the car warranty and the social security ones all the time (at least, if I pick up, which I usually do because I also get work calls)

Thrive to spite them
Dinner is becoming a major ordeal and a big clusterfuck. The airfryer is kind of dead.. it still works but the latch that keeps the basket and the handle together is broken and I didn't realize that until I started cooking so I'm having to very carefully juggle taking it out. And since I picked a recipe for a larger air fryer I'm having to do things in batches.. it's supposed to be boneless country ribs and I bought bone in by mistake so I'm hoping it will cook right.
And then I mentioned making stuffed peppers as a side (vegetarian ones) but decided not to since M wanted to make baked potatoes and corn and I didn't want to try and juggle something else but I ended up makign it anyway.And I was trying to flip between 2 recipes on my phone and mis read the pepper one.
First it was way to damn complicated and required using a saucepan, stock pot, and a skillet and an insert for the skillet to put the peppers on to steam. But I used half the amount of rice by accident so it's very very very cheesy. I have no idea if it will taste good. I decided the peppers were cooked enough, the rice is cooked so I just wiped out the skillet I sauted onions in and then filled the peppers, put a lid on it and let the residual heat do any more cooking.
Its supposed to be 1 cup of uncooked rice and 2 cups of grated cheese. But I accidenntlly did 1/2 cup of uncooked rice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have to answer my cell since calls to my work number are forwarded. On my landline (yes, I still have one) I can ignore all but my parents and the building com/buzzer system.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't answer the phone unless I recognize the caller, but I've been getting a lot more calls (that I don't answer).

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Nice to see you, Nilly! Have a blessed holiday.
Steph, I hadn't considered it but since you said it, it seems like a good idea.
Lots of ~ma for B, Laura.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Verizon sent me a text that they were doing something about spam calls and also iPhones are doing something but I didn't really pay attention. I don't seem to be getting many, or seeing them anyway. I do theoretically still have a landline but I'm not sure the phone is plugged in...hasn't rung in a long time...
