Happy Birthday, Karl. Nice to see you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks, Cindy. What a year, eh?
Toddson, that reminds me of this old sketch from The Edge.
So, we have someone coming tomorrow from a company called Cincinnati Hoarding to assess the situation. So that’s where my fucking life is right now. I feel like a goddamn shitshow failure of a human being.
You are a perfectly fine human being, Tep. I’m sorry this feels so terrible.
You are a perfectly fine human being, Tep.
This is true. You know what's good? Getting some help in a situation like this.
Put aside your reflexive shame-response, and see that this is part of the process of fixing the situation. It's almost like seeing a therapist. And alleviating it going forward. It's going to be okay.
When my people came, they were so nice! I was a wreck, though.
I empathize with the feeling, truly. I admire you for doing something hard about a situation you know you want to fix when taking the fixing steps makes you feel shitty, too. And for talking about it - because we all (or mostly all?) have albatrosses of some kind, and seeing someone else handle theirs is... aspirational!
Sounds like some first rate humaning, with a side of adulting there, Teppy!
Buffista birthday calendar shows that today is a celebration of Glamcookie. May the year to come be filled with love and joy.
I’m impressed you managed to both find a company and CALL THEM (!) and set up an appointment, tbh! That seems like the worst part. Personally I’m more than willing to hand someone my money if I don’t have to figure out who to call, call and make an appointment, arrange to have the work done, figure out if there’s a better/more cost effective option, etc etc…
