That is a bummer, -t,. and I hope you are enjoying a sandwich as I type.

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

I am, thank you!

hwæt

I guess that goes through DoirDash

If you had ordered with DiorDash, your sandwich would have arrived inside a leather handbag. Pricey, though.

Heh, that sounds like Black Friday at a very fancy outlet mall. Ooh, or a promo at an upscale consignment shop

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My hips have been hurting intermittently when I get up from a chair lately, so I think of you whenever that happens, Tep. Now I’ll think of lisah, too

I completely wiped out on my way home the other night (bad sidewalks, bad shoes, and good wine). I have a huge bruise on my hip and it hurts like a bitch to lie on my side or walk fast. That said I feel like if I actually injured myself it would hurt a lot worse so I’m just going with that.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If you had ordered through NoirDash, your sandwich would have been delivered by a grizzled detective with a drinking habit.

Or maybe a dangerous dame. Either way I probably wouldn’t actually get the sandwich.

Which I did not, so…hmmmm

Or, Dana, possibly a blonde with great legs.(ETA: -t, Jinx!) In a modern story, there might be some overlap.

The Maltese Sandwich

The tragedy of the sandwich shop on the next corner closing is that, in addition to having the best coffee in the neighborhood, all their sandwiches had been named after characters in The Maltese Falcon. (The building is home to Sam Spade's apartment and is where Dashiell Hammett wrote TMF.)
