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.

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

Yeah, I may have been gone for a little bit

Good to see you again. What's a decade between friends?

Well, Mr. Flea has decided to take the resignation offer. He’s going to start by applying for the open job of assistant superintendent of water in our town. He’s been miserable at the EPA for years, his entire division is non statutory, and he was worried about getting fired before hitting his MRA. So… we’ll see. We all have a lot of feels about this.

Oh, wow, Flea, that's huge news. I wish an absolutely great new start for Mr. Flea in a new job and place that he loves.

Ugh, flea, I’m so sorry but I hope the town job works out, or something else soon

Not that surprising. I glanced at the eggs while buying green onions at the local discount grocery yesterday and the cost to them before markup for a six pack was $4.19.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The bodegas in NYC have started selling loosie eggs.

I'm going to point to this every time the "but everywhere has corner stores what's so special about them" debate comes around.

The status is NOT quo.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, all! It was a nice day. I am tired and grumpy this morning for no good reason. Caffeine needed.
