You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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

Glad I kept the boxes for my recently purchased microwave cookware!

Glad y'all are having some fun times amidst the chaos, Hec. I would have been in heaven having Matilda's situation even temporarily at 15, I hope she's enjoying it!

Her friend Iris is sleeping over on Sunday night! They'll have the place to themselves.

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

I am so fucking mad at my car insurance. They received clearance to make payout on the totaled car on 6/8. AND THEY DID NOT PAY. So now the loan holder is calling me about late payment and I STILL do not have my part of the payout.

I am on calls with all of them now.

They better just deposit this in my account TODAY!

Very likely Mac’s next car will not be insured with them.

27 years they have had my business and this wreck has been a complete fucking mess from their end.

Wow, that is terrible, msbelle!

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

ugh, msbelle, what a pain.

I'm getting the idea that the whole premise of insurance is to tell us "we'll pay if something bad happens to you" and then not paying when that thing happens.

A subset of capitalism's premise, "Everyone makes money! Just not you."

I’ve been told it is resolved and money will be direct deposited into my account.

Fingers crossed because Mac still doesn’t have a paycheck (next week, fingers crossed) and rent is due.

Tonight I drink.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

No, it will definitely make my commute worse.

That sucks. I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry about the insurance difficulties, msbelle.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's complete bull hooe, msbelle. Especially given you've been a customer for 27 years, they should show a bit of the loyalty that you've shown. And have that money deposited today. Then drink.
